I'm An Open Book If You Care To Read Me

This guy at work really irks me.

We were great friends for the longest time. Then he made things all awkward. I finally told him we shouldn't talk anymore, since his girlfriend seemed to have major issues with it. We agreed to be cordial at work, even though I was thinking we just shouldn't talk at all. But he still sits with me every time I'm in the lounge and talks to me.....and then today, he had the audacity to ask when we're going to go out drinking. Um, we're not. How many times do I have to make myself clear? It's so frustrating, because on the one hand I really like him and want to be friends. On the other hand, he's a selfish idiot who just cannot simply be my friend...and he never respects what I say. I set a boundary, he ignores it. I don't even think he genuinely cares about anything I say. I think he just wants in my pants. Ugh. Men are annoying.

some people just abuse kindness, I hate to see a kind, shy person become an asshole like the rest of us
I've been through worse...Ill never let the world make me bitter. I get jaded from time to time, but I always come to my senses eventually.

What did he say when you told him about the raging case of herpes you have?

See, [b]THAT[/b] is how you put an end to this situation! 😉
Hahaha, I like the way you think!

Maybe it's time to talk to Human Resources about this...it almost sounds like it's borderline harassment.
If I was more stern about it all, I would agree with you. However, I always try to play it off cool. So I can see where he might still have hope. However, I do make my points very clear. I don't beat around the bush about it. My main problem is, he knows and yet he still blatantly disrespects everything. I wouldn't necessarily consider it harassment, but definitely stupid selfishness.
I think you are correct in your assessment of this situation.
It's really frustrating...and weird for me. In all my years, I've been fortunate to never have a man treat me as nothing but a sexual object. They've always genuinely been interested in me in one way or another. But this guy! I think that's why I get so mad. Hell confide something to me and I'll listen intently, then when I do the same, he'll avoid looking at me or change the subject!!! So my obvious conclusion is that he is just trying to make me pity him/care but he doesn't care to learn anything about me. Some 'friend'

Cherryxblossom, Should ALL men be classified the same...some of us enjoy the company of a woman without wanting to get into her pants..
I think it goes without saying that I'm not grouping all men into one statement there. Just ranting about the men who make it true.
