sarah aIyse: A month or so ago, one of my online guy friends started playing very flattering attention to me. We talked more than we had before, and he was being flirty and wanted to talk to me all the time. It was nice, y'know

"sarah aIyse: So, y'know, it's nice to be used by your friends"

how is paying attention to and flirting with you using you? maybe he was legitimately interested in you, but met someone else.

it's only using you if you two screwed around. and then it's not even using you so much as being a rebound.

And when that is the case, it usually means that that's exactly what you're being, so you should drop it.

all i was saying was just, don't assume the worst and be sad. you could always just enjoy the flattery and let it pick you up a little. that's all. :)

gotta agree on this one. he was single and probably enjoying being ABLE to flirt with you. he's probably wanted to for a while. when something else happened, it happened. doesn't mean he wasn't genuinely flirting with you.

I know, you're right. I guess the thing that's stuck in my craw is that he's not even talking to me now; it's not just the lack of flirting.

But there could be zillions of reasons for that, I'm just being pouty and self-absorbed. I blame the Nyquil?
