Games we play

So I got an 'interesting' text today from a somewhat 'old' flame. I say somewhat old because we only stopped talking a few months ago. At first he was the guy that I wasn't really paying attention too, but then after awhile I figured he seemed to have his sh*t together so I decided to give him a chance. Everything was going really good for awhile, until one day I made a 'joke' about him not becoming my f*ck buddy, to which he responded that we should talk about where we wanted things to go. Long story short, the outcome was he said he didnt want to jump into a relationship so soon, so we agreed we'd just date, get to know each other, no sex involved. Cool beans. 

 




Fast forward a week or so, an old friend that I new before I moved to DC was in town visiting, so we went out. When the guy I was dating text to ask what I was doing I told him, and just like the flip of a switch things changed. Now to me when he said he only wanted to 'date' and see where things went, that sounded to me like he wanted to keep his options open, so I thought hey no sweat, it is what it is. Even though it was nothing romantic with me and the friend visiting, I still figured I'd be honest and let the dude I was dating know what was up so he'd at least feel comfortable knowing I wasnt trying to be sneaky. Right? Wrong. After that day he became very distant...not returning my texts/calls, started saying he didnt want to be close to anyone, blah blah blah. Finally after about a week of this he sends me a text saying we should stop talking, because its what he needs to do for him. Huh? Ok. Whatever.

A few days after that he sent me a text (he's obviously only feels comfortable saying things via text) confessing that he and someone else he was dating decided to get serious and since he wasn't a dog he couldnt date me anymore, and that he hoped I could 'respect him for being man enough to tell me'. Lol. Yea. I was hurt but two fingers in the wind, the next bus will be by soon. Then over the next month I guess he got lonely so he started the 'get back' texts; "I still think about you", "I miss chilling with you", "I know I cant have my cake and eat it too but I miss how yours tasted" (wth?), etc. I pretty much ignored him because the way I saw it he made his choice, wasn't nothing else for us to say. So today I get a text from him and I figured what the hell, no need to be bitter, so I engage him in convo. We start jokingly talking sh*t to each other when he says 'What you still mad because I choice another b*tch over you? Get over that sh*t'...(cue record scratch)...excuse me?

Now see this is the part where you have two people ragging on each other and one person throws in a really harsh 'yo mama so..' joke but the other persons mom is dead or some sh*t. All laughs cease. He's like 'oh what you can joke but I cant?' Nah playa my feelings aint no joking matter, as far as Im concerned she can have your trifling non-spelling cheating behind..I'm good over here.

At what point does it become ok to basically dog somebody and then joke about it later like its really funny? Did I miss something...or maybe its just me.

*sigh*

Let me call and see if Sprint will allow me to block a number from calling/texting...where do I find these jokers..
