Oh boy, so, my friend was released. There are some big discrepancies between his and his family's version of events. But, in cutting to the chase, I got hundreds of texts, emails, voice mails and other odds and ends in the last eight hours. I have tried just about everything. I got his with new accounts so the ones I blocked are useless. I felt sorry for him so I did respond to a few and said I was glad he was doing better and that he was unharmed. I tried the, we're just friends and I care for you as a friend, but he was going to bull right over that. I tried the, I'm already and still in a relationship, but he was going to bull right over that. I tried the passive-aggressive approach, doing the opposite of what he demanded. I have never met anyone as aggressive and sexually aggressive as this guy, who will not take no for an answer and hints or even direct messages don't work.

I was finally going to take the dreaded, "I'm way out of your league" approach to illustrate just how incompatible we would be. This was not a road I wanted to go down, but I can't think of anything else right now. I pointed out that he was average looking, has long greasy hair, a scraggly beard, is shorter than me, is way out of shape, has no physical activities, has no income, no education, and no current employment and is very explosive and unstable. I asked how would that be any sort of a SO for me as I would have to take care of him more like a child than an SO. I pointed out that I was about as opposite as could be from him and for him to have an attractive and ambitious SO would make him paranoid all the time like he was. I realized that logic wasn't going to work and, sure enough, it didn't. He bulled right over that, bragging how a guy like him had won a trophy SO like me and he could show me off to his family and friends.

So, now I'm all wound up and awake at 3:45 am, gearing up for the drama all over again. I'm running out of ideas on how to keep this guy at bay and get him to be just a friend, whom I'll help and listen to, but that's it.
