I flew to Chicago to meet a guy I met online and got close to during peak COVID lockdown only for him to ghost me a few weeks later LMAO. I've told that story before, though, and he texted me after Helene to check on me, ghosted me again, then randomly texted me when he is obviously bored and my dumb ass hasn't blocked him yet.
I uh... also might have learned Dutch for a guy I met online once (from the Eindhoven area) and got waaaay too invested in but that's fine because I can say "I speak terrible Dutch!" now. Turns out he was just a flat-out asshole in the end and I am happy I got to tell him that since he didn't actually ghost me. I can watch Dutch/Flemish stuff now and comment on how terrible the subtitle quality is and little more.
There's an Instagram I always see which is this guy doing comedy skits about the Dutch and how they're basically all assholes. I'm glad you got away from that dude.
I live in that area, more people than common have autism here because of the history of the city (technological stuff). No excuse (having autism) for treating you like a dick of course. <3
Yeah, and the stupid thing was that I brought him up in convos with people in our circle and people would be, "He's a fucking dick!" and I'd be like "But he's misunderstood!" Nope, he was a fucking dick. He wasn't an engineer but he worked in IT and one time I brought up I had my Masters and he thought that was a personal attack on him because he had a technical certificate or something and didn't finish college. ???? I wasn't even talking about him!
The last conversation I had with just him was him saying I was abusing him when I told him I didn't like him making jokes about my potentially deadly allergies being because I tormented bugs in a previous life. I told him calmly (it helps this was a direct message and written LOL) that when he calmed down and had slept and I had slept and rested and wanted to discuss things like rational adults, he was free to DM me. That was 2.5 years ago and I guess he doesn't want to discuss it. It sucks because he personally ruined a video game and community I truly loved because he didn't want to

He was also on the autism spectrum which did not help things and he used that as an excuse for being a dick.
