Years ago
Meet guy at work
Both attracted to each other from the get go
Hang out a lot
Great chat
Lots of messages
Become friends
Go out, spend the night together
He stops messaging
Stops chatting at work
I raise it. Is there an issue?
No, I’ve just been busy
Right mate.
It was a mistake, I tell him, because he’s got stuff going on, let’s just be friends
OK sure, he agrees
He avoids me
No chat
I thought we were friends? Let’s hang out
I’ve been busy,
There’s no problem
Right mate.
I try to make conversation, this is friendship for me too
Ignored, fobbed off, no explaining
At least talk to me
Nothing
No respect.
You’re a dick.
