I wasn’t even trolling this time, guys!

This fellow was flirting with me for probably about… four days. I guess. Yesterday I told him that I thought things were going too fast, and that I’d like him to back up considerably. He seemed to amiably agree, requesting a hard-restart to friends. Great! I can work with that. He’s a reasonable fellow listening to reason! I can SO be friends with that.

Eh-heh. Sure.

So I’ve spent most of today sleeping. I got out of bed quite a bit past noon (I had a workout scheduled for today, but with all the running around and carrying of things I did for mom yesterday, I didn’t get anywhere near enough recuperation and I was just not willing to drug myself through a four-hour depletion workout. I took most of today reconfiguring the next few weeks into being a different workout setup now that I’ve mostly-recovered from Summerfest binging. Then I had dinner with mom and watched Still Walking with her, a great little Japanese slice-of-life flick that…)

…my point is I haven’t been checking my phone today. Haven’t been doing much on the computer other than referencing dietary stuff.

I just checked my phone when this fellow AIM’d me. He pretty obviously implied that I’d been ignoring him, yet the only text I’d gotten was a “Where are you?” about an hour or so ago.

(11:25:47 PM) Matte: I love being ignored
(11:26:03 PM) Eric: Cool. I’ll do that then.

Sarcasm isn’t lost on me, folks. I’m very reflective.

(11:26:13 PM) Matte: Even though I did nothing to you?
(11:26:14 PM) Matte: Nice
(11:26:27 PM) Matte: Way to be rude

…Right.

(11:26:45 PM) Matte: Not only are you a coward then, you also have zero social skills
(11:27:11 PM) Matte: Because all I ever wanted to do was be friends and you’re responding with this kind of abuse
(11:27:12 PM) Matte: =\
(11:27:22 PM) Eric: Abuse? Touchy.
(11:27:29 PM) Matte: What would you call it then

I was going to say ‘neglect,’ but that’s a passive form of abuse. So I let it slide. I didn’t directly contradict his usage here anyway, just jabbed him for being… touchy.

(11:27:30 PM) Matte: ?
(11:27:37 PM) Matte: I’ve done nothing to you but be nice
(11:27:38 PM) Matte: =]
(11:27:46 PM) Eric: I’ve not done anything at all.
(11:27:53 PM) Matte: Mhmm, indeed you have

Indeed I have or have not done something?

(11:28:10 PM) Matte: You’re obviously upset with me for some reason

This wouldn’t have been true if he hadn’t said it. Really. I wasn’t upset with him.

(11:28:16 PM) Eric: Huh?
(11:28:30 PM) Matte: You haven’t talked to me at all since the other night
(11:28:35 PM) Eric: What’s your point?
(11:28:35 PM) Matte: On purpose
(11:28:42 PM) Matte: You’re avoiding me
(11:28:48 PM) Matte: And you have no reason to
(11:30:05 PM) Matte: For someone who tries to so hard to be in control of his emotions, you certainly are very out of touch with them =\

Alex was better at psycho-analyzing me. I had no reason to avoid him, and I wasn’t. Now I do, and am. Way to win that one, buddy.

(11:30:05 PM) Eric: I haven’t avoided you. I wouldn’t have you unblocked on my buddy list if I was avoiding you. I would have removed you from our social sites if I was avoiding you. I’m aware I have zero social skills, and as such, I lack capacity for thought-out spite-induced dedicated neglect.

The last sentence is a blatant lie, but everything before that was true when I said it.

(11:30:55 PM) Eric: I’m not in control of anything. I’m not in touch with my emotions on purpose.
(11:31:04 PM) Matte: That’s a severe weakness
(11:31:17 PM) Eric: That doesn’t bother me.
(11:31:21 PM) Matte: You would do well for yourself to remedy that
(11:31:27 PM) Eric: I’m alright.
(11:31:32 PM) Matte: Are not
(11:31:33 PM) Matte: =]

I don’t like people who use emoticons ironically. Hipster trash.

(11:31:51 PM) Eric: If it means I get into paranoid fits whenever someone doesn’t respond to me, I’ll pass.
(11:32:16 PM) Matte: The fact that you would even say that makes me even more right
(11:32:23 PM) Matte: And proves how socially retarded you are
(11:32:37 PM) Eric: I don’t care if you’re right. That wasn’t the point I was making.
(11:32:43 PM) Matte: You have a point?
(11:32:46 PM) Matte: Get to it then
(11:32:58 PM) Eric: Go away. I’m not avoiding you, I just have better things to do.

What is the point of proving what a retard I am? Troll alert.

(11:33:08 PM) Matte: What are you being so hostile for?
(11:33:32 PM) Eric: You wanted me to get to the point. It just seems hostile because you don’t like it.
(11:33:40 PM) Matte: No, you’re being hostile
(11:33:50 PM) Matte: And quite rude
(11:33:56 PM) Eric: Then go away.

Seriously. If I’m infringing so heavily upon your well-being by having a life, well… shit man. I’ve been trolled so hard today. Good show.

(11:34:02 PM) Matte: Because you agreed that we were going to start over and try to be friends
(11:34:12 PM) Matte: But obviously you don’t want that
(11:34:19 PM) Matte: So make up your mind, NOW
(11:34:30 PM) Matte: Because I refuse to be jerked around by the likes of you
(11:34:33 PM) Eric: This is how I treat my friends. They realize I have a life, that I do other things than talk to only them, and they wait.
(11:35:00 PM) Eric: You don’t. And I don’t have time for you if you’re going to whine to me.
(11:35:14 PM) Eric: So knock it off or I will be consciously avoiding you.
(11:35:25 PM) Matte: I’ll do whatever the fuck I please
(11:35:30 PM) Eric: Then good day, sir.
(11:35:34 PM) Matte: No rules in any universe exist that apply to me
Matte is typing…

You are now blocking Matte.

Aw, crap man. I blocked him too fast. Oops.

You know, as much as I want to say he was a troll, he really doesn’t quite earn the honor. He’s a queen. The vast majority of gay men that I’ve flirted/dated have been enormously pleasant, even if it didn’t work out for us. This boy was angry and wanted to project his frustrations on me for being another one of his failures.

That sucks, ya’ll.

I didn’t set out to troll him, and I almost believe he wasn’t trying to inflict harm on me.

Almost.
