f/21. OK, so I have this friend (m/34) I met on a forum. He was fun and all in the beginning, so we started IMing. What started to bug me about him is that he started posting really stupid things on the forum. There is this girl there that he likes, and they were IMing too, and decided to meet each other. She wasn't really impressed with him, but she was very polite, and even on the forum she said that last Friday she had a great company. Of course, that was meant only for him to understand (OK, I understood too because he told me that they met.) But he also told me that she was not talkative and she looked bored. And later when he called her she kept telling him how busy she is, she can't IM him, she can't meet him and so on. You get the picture. Now he started posting sexual innuendos about the two of them on Friday, and now everyone knows that they met! I think she'll be pissed off, and she has right too! I mean, why post such stuff if you already think that she was disappointed by your appearance?! Oh yes, and he's not provoking her or something, he actually wants her to like him. He told me he hopes things will work out for them eventually! Does he think his comments are funny?! And another problem is that he makes himself look really unattractive, he's always moaning about what a loser he is, how long it's been since he was in a relationship, he posts some really pathetic comments (worse than you would expect from a girl!) and so on. I can't break contact with him because he is so depressed because of this girl's reaction, and he was totally broken when another e-friend he had stopped talking to him. But his behavior really annoys me so much that I would gladly never talk to him again! (And his IMs aren't any better, he actually uses babytalk?!!! I mean, come on!)I'd really like to stay on that forum, but every time I'm there he IMs me, it's so frustrating! What should I do?
Sorry I made you read my rant, but at least that gave you a picture how pissed off I am!

Flannl_bxrs answered Sunday December 17 2006, 9:54 pm: You poor girl! Given the fact that he's 34 years old and behaving like he is doesn't speak so well of him as a person. I would imagine he's trying to play the "pity card" with his comments and saying that he's a loser and whatknot, so you can take one of two avenues here: either completely ignore him and he'll eventually lose interest, or tell him straight up that his comments are unappreciated and immature. This guy needs to get his life together, and it's not your problem. Is there any way you can block him on your IM? These are my suggestions if you just want to completely get rid of the guy. Good luck to you! [ Flannl_bxrs's advice column | Ask Flannl_bxrs A Question ]
SPIDERMANN answered Wednesday December 13 2006, 3:44 pm: I`m f/15 and you probably wont take my advice, but I`m giving it to you anyway. I know a lot about people putting themselves down to try to make themselves seem like they`re good enough knowing they can find one thing at least that is great about them. I say, the pity train stops here and he gets of. You need to tell him everything you just said to the reader. He`s annoying, he`s pathetic and trying to force someone to like him is def not gonna do the trick. Tell him that she doesn`t like him because of his lack of confidence. No girl likes a guy that`s always whining about the stupidest things in the world. So he`s not Brad Pitt, but god dang he doesn`t have to act like some hobo. Girls like a guy with some confidence even if everything is wrong with him. If the girl he likes sees that he thinks good of himself then she`ll probably be proud to stand next to him.
