I hope you were able to read the blog about D last week. We went out to lunch, had a great time, etc. Everything was fine until somehow he found my blog. (I have nothing to hide. I just don't tell the guys I am blogging because I want to see the real them. I don't want an act. I want to know the real person. Besides, I usually go on a lot of first dates. Very few get more than 1 date. No need in telling them about the blog if its not going to go anywhere, right? Plus, if I didn't blog about it, then none of you would know about Captain Underwear and that is one damn funny story!!!)
Ok so somehow this weekend D found out about my blog. (Hence part of the reason it's private) He text me and said "I need you to take that down IMMEDIATELY" When I asked why he said "for my own safety" (red flag). I took the post down....whatever.
Then yesterday this is the text exchange:
D: hey
Me: are you still mad?
D: I wasn't mad, more blown away.
Me: Why? It wasn't anything bad...I guess I just don't understand....
D: I don't expect you to
Me: Ok
D: I haven't lived a traditional professional life and putting things in there about military, Austin, where we met, etc put me at risk.
Me: So where does that leave us, if anywhere.
D: I don't know, the whole blog things seems odd and horribly impersonal and that you feel comfortable posting about your dating life is not at all aligned with me. It's just all weird.
Me: It's a blog about my adventures in dating. I'm an open person to an extent. Some stuff is off limits, and I get that. It's up to you, I'd love to see you again, but understand if you don't.
D: No, not interested, too strange.
Me: Ok, well best of luck to you! :)
D: likewise
D: It's a real shame. In the future you make want to tell people that you're "blogging" about them
So let me get this straight...YOU are online dating. I met YOU on Tinder. YOU told me YOU are active on social media. Yet YOU have a problem with me blogging about it because it puts YOU at risk!?!? What are YOU hiding!?!?! I understand that he likes his personal life personal, but telling me it puts YOU at risk!?!!??!!? Hypocritical much!?!? Now I'm sure you probably have an different opinion about this, maybe even agree with him and that's fine! But just the whole way he acted and what he said, just doesn't sit right with me. RED FLAGS being thrown everywhere!
I have half a mind to post his picture and contact info just so we can look for what he is hiding! But I won't. I'll be nice......for now....
So now my blog is private.....and I plan on keeping it this way. Unless Hollywood calls and wants to make a movie about this....
Looks like this frog is still a toad......
YIKES! That's crazy. I don't know if I saw the post that he asked you to take down. I would just repost it! Maybe he would have responded better if you'd told him you're documenting your dating experience for friends and family to follow before he had found out.
ReplyDeleteNo one knows about it unless you shared the link with them. :) Oh well! He misses out!
So was he stalking you on social media? Sure, we all do it to an extent but...still no one would know about the blog unless they were looking for you and all your online excursions...
