That male college friend of mine? Who offered to pay my legal fees, who tried to tell me that he is OK with me approaching a certain man that I found attractive, acting a little possessive of me as though he's my boyfriend?

Well, he butt dialed me last night TWICE at 1 AM and woke me up. I texted him at 7:30 AM to let him know and to ask if he meant to call me. NO REPLY. By 2:30 PM, I sent another text, and NO REPLY, so I sent a final text at 4 PM saying "Ok, you're not replying. I don't understand why, or what I did wrong. Thanks a lot".

So, HE'S pissed at ME for setting a boundary with him apparently?!? I told him directly that he is NOT my boyfriend, when he said to me that it's OK with him if I approach another man. So, I gather that that offended him, and that this is why is he now not replying!

WTF is wrong with some people?!?!? I swear. I do nothing except go out and pretty much try to mind my own business and just have fun. I try to meet nice people and I keep meeting these low lifes! Yeah, it must be the crowd I am hanging out in - I need to diversify! I am not going to stop seeing music, but the people I am meeting at these shows are below par and I am frustrated and sick of it all.

GGRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Or, he just legitimately butt dialed and perhaps you’re assuming he is mad at you but he isn’t. Who know?

You are engaging in drama with him. If you already feel like he’s manipulating you, do not engage. Response just keeps the drama going. Avoid repeating the pattern of engaging with men who are, or who you expect are, manipulating you.
Thanks for this!
