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.

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'
