The woman I used to have physical interactions with here at the gym came to me again today. I told her no last time, that I don't want a relationship with her and it's not going to happen and I'm sorry. She approached me again today. She could not have looked more manic. I'd never paid attention to that before but now it all makes sense. Very obvious! I asked,
"Are you bipolar? You look manic?"
"Yes and yes"
"That explains a whole lot. I don't mean that you're bad for having bipolar, because I do too."
"Then you want sex?"
"No. I'm sorry. I also don't want a relationship with you. I was using you for just sex but realized that you went way beyond that agreement. You started wanting to date and get to know each other. I'm not like that right now and I can't do this any more. I'm changing again."
"So you're just going to f--- me and that's it?"
"No. I already told you. I did f--- you and that is it. It's over."
She looks very angry at this point. Fiery redhead anger! I start backing away toward the doors.
"You used me!"
"That was the agreement. You knew this from the beginning. It was only for an outlet. That's all it ever was."
"To you, a--h----! I started to really like you!"
"I know. But, I didn't start to really like you. It didn't happen. It's not going to. I'm sorry."
She took a swing at me, nearly getting me in-between the eyes. I turned my head just enough to move the destination of the blow but not the strike entirely. Hard in the left ear! I stumbled back and shook my head a little, and felt very unstable on my feet. I caught another blow, this time in the gut. She hits hard! She cussed me for a while more until someone else came over and said something, but I couldn't hear them well with my ear ringing like that.
Someone else saw this second hit and came over. She left the gym, running out of the door. The other person asked what looked like "are you ok?" and I nodded. I was getting my hearing back at this point.
"Girlfriend?"
"Nope. Close. But nope. Just sex."
"You used her for just a hookup?"
"Yeah. A few times."
"And she didn't kill you?"
"The hell?"
"I've never had sex with someone I didn't love. Ever."
"That used to be me too. I think it was a better policy"
They flipped me off and walked away.
Got what I deserved.
