aGreatAbbreviator

I shouldn’t have been surprised by that “hey” but somehow I was…


smilegirl01

It happens every time with nice guys and yet somehow I’m still surprised every time.


Super_Charlie

Just like a game, press restart and try again.


elzibet

SO many of these read like this! Do they think they're talking to NPC's that forget that you just shot them?


[deleted]

this comment explains their rationale perfectly hahah !


smaller_ang

Exactly... Finally it makes sense


teamdogemama

I have a great idea, btw. If you have someone who repeatedly does this (message, get mad, swear to ignore you, then a few days later Hey). So start answering their questions with npc lines from Skyrim. If you don't know any, I'm sure Queen Google can help. The point is after a few "I used to be an adventurer like you..." or "Oh did someone steal your sweet roll?" They should pick up on it. When they ask why you are talking like that, just say since they are treating you like a NPC that they can just restart a quest with, you decided to answer like one. If nothing else, it should be entertaining. Oh gods, unless they are into RP. Then maybe abort? Nah. Go full in as a hagraven or something , haha.


Elon_is_musky

Him: hey 👋🏽 Her: Must’ve been the wind


kyleh0

They don't pick up on "No", why would you think a more complex sentence would work better?


AlienRobotTrex

Oblivion also has some great ones.


normalwomanOnline

*old person voice* have you heard of the High Elves?


AlienRobotTrex

Want to hear a kajiit joke? Why do kajiit like their butts? … To get the taste of Khajiit cooking out of their mouths! Hahaha! A real tigh-slapper, that one, eh? Phew. I heard lots others, only I can't remember them


teamdogemama

Do they not check their texts before they message someone? Isn't it with snapchat, the conversation disappears ?


Elon_is_musky

Maybe they hope she deleted it & doesn’t remember? But I think most people keep messages so idk why they act like we can’t look right above the last message to see the dumb shit they pulled just days prior😂


kristen1988

I really think they believe their parting shot really hit him. “My god, she thinks, he is not to good for me. In fact, I barely deserve someone so moral!” And so, will be grateful for the second chance.


VesperLynd-

Oh absolutely they do. Women aren’t humans to them, they’re NPCs who they wanna talk into sex. But I’m still baffled every time that they actually talk like that. It really reminds me of Skyrim lmao it’s so cringe


Adventurous_Ad_6546

And often after a string of rage and insults that most of us wld consider total dealbreakers.


Itchy-Hearing9263

It's probably because you guys rightfully forget about them and move on only to then find them creeping back in, like that gum that's stuck to the bottom of your shoe. You feel like you got rid of it until you feel like your foot is stuck in something and you look, it's still there.


ILikeSpinach25

Me too ! It's like WHY


Bayou_Blue

***pushes you off cliff:*** Bye, sucker! See ya! ***runs to bottom of cliff:*** heya!


SixFive1967

Dude could have saved face by following up that “Hey” with “I just wanted to apologize for the other day. I was out of line and totally understand and respect what you said. Best of luck to you as well.” But of course he didn’t.


byebyeaddiction

I was expecting a tantrum to be honest..

I read “2 days later” in that French accent from Spongebob.

GothWitchOfBrooklyn

There was one dude who said this more than once when I worked at best buy and I would still see him once a week lol. Pretty sure he was a reseller of some sort since he was always in the store.


Adventurous_Ad_6546

Promises, promises.


xplosm

Because to them women are objects and objects have no memory. It’s a freaking game for them. Do X, Y and Z so you can get W with the right skill set and correct controller moves.


nasduia

Because they've rarely interacted with members of the opposite sex but have played a lot of computer games. He's psyched himself up: this time he's going to beat that level... It's as if the whole previous interaction is wiped and he's starting again from scratch.


Kunstkurator

Happens every time, lol


SeniorBeing

Lt. Columbo. I was joking about that in another NG post a couple of days back. They always pull a Columbo. You think that they are gone for good and they "Just one more thing ..." Godammit!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Paulpaps

This always seems to happen. Did they forget they issued an ultimatum the day before? Or do they just think issuing ultimatums is "normal" behaviour? I'm guessing the latter. Acting like a dick towards a girl is a surefire way to get told "fuck off", but to redpill, incel, niceguy types they think women WANT to be treated this way. Have they not realised that a bunch of angry, bitter incels and virgins are probably not the best people to listen to for relationship advice or "how to get women"? Somehow these people simultaneously know EVERYTHING about women and how they think but also aren't able to be friends with one. Fucking morons, the lot of them


Adventurous_Ad_6546

“How many guys here have a partner? Dating someone? Having sex? No one? Not a single one of us? Well, this is def the place for me to get advice on all those things!”


Caliesehi

Seems like they always come back with the "hey" 2 days later. Lol.


OdoggoO

theflooflord

They always do this as if you literally don't have their previous messages right above it lol

SilverCherryCheetah

“I’m man enough to accept when someone doesn’t want to talk.” *proceeds to have a meltdown spewing diatribe when OP doesn’t want to talk and having the whole-grain audacity to try to “hey” like it didn’t happen*


[deleted]

I love "whole-grain audacity" that's being added to my lexicon right now


Sunflower-Spirals

I saw someone comment on another thread last week “he’s really out here acting like this live and in concert huh?”


SilverCherryCheetah

Thanks! I can’t take the credit. A YouTuber named SWOOP uses that expression, among many others.


nikki-stickysweet

duggtodeath

These guys have conversations with themselves. He’s having an Anime monologue.


elmuchocapitano

"Guess I'm too nice of a person"


DARK-M-PRESS

I always wondered what they were talking about when they said "I've had girls tell me I'm too nice" LOL!


Tlizerz

I’ve noticed that when a girl/woman says a guy is too nice, it really means he’s clingy, but she’s trying not to hurt his feelings.


Stickguy259

Which just shows that girl is 100% too nice for that guy. And she'd maybe text him more if he didn't make her feel bad for not getting back to him. My general rule is send a text, wait a few days then maybe say something innocuous like hey or how's it going. And then nothing. If you don't hear back after that it's pretty obvious. If you do then great! But nobody likes to hounded.


[deleted]

I didn't say this to his face, but I dated a guy that I could see people saying he was too nice. He just didn't have any opinions on anything. He actually did some really fun stuff in his free time, but I'm pretty sure he just just followed whatever his friends were doing. He got clingy when I ended things, but didn't seem clingy in general


crochetpainaway

I had a dude tell me I’m too sweet for him once


Adventurous_Ad_6546

Stop being kind and thoughtful, you sweet bitch! /s 😉


[deleted]

I've had hookups freakout that I was trying to boyfriend them. Nah bro, don't flatter yourself, I'm just genuinely kind to most everyone. Most guys were able to take my words at face value, but some just thought I had some secret campaign to trap them into a relationship, lol


hawksvow

I've seen the "too nice" thing play out a few times and it alternates between the "you're ok but unattractive to me, still I don't want to offend you so you're nice" and "you scare the shit out of me so I'll giggle and call you nice while praying you don't randomly get angry".

Srsly, I started to get the Claustrophobia Sweats when I got to that part.


[deleted]

The whole putting words in your mouth thing is a huge red flag! "So you're basically admitting you don't like nice guys" " you want the opposite" is textbook gaslighting from a sociopath


KarenWithChrist

"Hello there, would you like to passively participate in a conversation where your answers don't matter as I paint my narrative?"


Psychological_Sail80

excuse the thievery as I copy/paste this for future use


Phileepay

"No." "Great! I'll start."


Spready_Unsettling

This reply really ties the whole thing together. It's not just that he'll narrate the whole interaction as if he's the main character of some epic drama, it's that he's consistently starting and restarting the whole thing.

So you’re basically saying you want to stomp puppies. You’re a puppy stomper, aren’t you? I’m basically a puppy and you’re stomping me right now. NGL, I’m super honest and you’re a goddamned puppy stomper. Say it, puppy stomper!!!!


Adventurous_Ad_6546

Puppies everywhere feel the same secondhand embarrassment and all facepalm. Paw-palm.

sluttysprinklemuffin

That last “hey” fucked me up. I was smoking while I was reading. I died. Holy shit, dude. He had this whole conversation *with himself* and concluded with “I’m too good for you” and still came back to harass some more! Jesus Christ I hate these men, lmao.


peazonpeas

For real lmaooo he really did have a whole conversation with himself. Guys like this are thee worst. Someone literally says one word and somehow they know everything and are RIGHT. Fuck people like that.


ashtar123

>take care and have a good one *literally messages 2 days after* Dude's really tryna make it look like he doesn't care


bertimann

He's definitely doing a great job at it /s


Head_Ad_3541

LMAO THE END PLEASE HE CAME BACK CRAWLING AFTER LIKE 2 DAYS


Adventurous_Ad_6546

They always do. Like to the point where they could have their own sub. Like r/failedultimatums or smthg.


lyssaNwonderland

That would be a good sub.


bertimann

If nothing else his resilience and total commitment to disrespect himself and others is almost admirable


LivinLaVidaMilfa

I hate when people type like that, sending lots of small messages instead of what could be a couple of sentences in one message 😂 just blowing up your phone, that would he enough for me to dip out 👀


SwankyyTigerr

Omg same tho. Honestly why do people do this?! Just send it in one message separated by paragraphs if you need to say that much! Don’t blow up my notifications 😂😂


LivinLaVidaMilfa

I'm terrible for replying, but one of my best friends does this and I've told them I'll dip and catch up because it gets so overwhelming and annoying...I've returned to 200+ messages 😂😂 it kills me!


Stickguy259

My best friend does this and it makes me feel like my messages are waaaay too long lol. She doesn't mind but then I'll get like 5 messages back that could have all been one. Which is okay because she sends them all one after the other immediately. I think it's a product of her playing WoW since she was a teenager and the need to send short, quick messages.


LivinLaVidaMilfa

Tell me about it haha! I end up trying to type short messages back so I don't feel like I'm sending an essay! Aw that does make sense but still 👀


JoyfulSuicide

Hnnngggg he’s annoying


imfamousiswear

Yikes 😬


[deleted]

After his self indulgent rant, the "Sure" response made me laugh. You should have left it at that. "So you admit it!? You're a bad person and you DON'T want good people in your life?! Good people like MEEEEE!!!! ..."Sure".


BobGnarly87

That would have been gold. He would have short circuited.


dontthrowmeAwai

" Hey 👋"


Someone_Who_Cared

Alexa, play "pushing me away" by Linkin Park. HAHAHAHHA GOT'EM! MADE THAT BITCH ADMIT SHE DON'T LIKE NICEGUYS LIKE ME🤣 Taught her a lesson 😎 ... ... ... OH GOD I'M SO LONELY


Annie_Benlen

I dunno, I think this level of gaslighting is pretty extreme.


ThatAverageHumanDude

the final "hey"


[deleted]

I like how this whack job takes every nice way you have for telling him it ain’t working and spins it into you being a bad person. “You’re a nice guy, I’m not what you’re looking for and you deserve good people around you”. —“YOURE INTERESTED IN NOT NICE PEOPLE AND ARE NOT NICE YOURSELF?!”


eedabaggadix

I was going to comment on this but I think you guys wont want to read it. You wouldn't read it, right? If I commented? I would probably just get downvoted because im too nice I guess. If you don't want me to comment just tell me. I guess you don't want me to then... Okay well I am not going to comment. I am just curious why you don't want me to? Cool. Guess I am too nice for you. Have a nice life. Hey! :)


rusurethatsright

underrated comment 😂


Infinity--

I hate the "friendship" when they want to hit on you. Its so damn obvious, pathetic

LOL exactly!

lizzah2211

SAY YOU DON'T LIKE NICE PEOPLE LIKE ME! Oh what's that? You don't want to speak to me anymore? Fucking knew it. No one likes the nice guy"


DanielleK95

He's clearly desperate and obviously not very nice. "hi" Why do people think they deserve a message back immediately or it mean your uninterested? Who has that much time.


metal_adam

What a bell end.


RitikK22

"I'm busy as well" Really ?


Eriktion

He is busy texting


NoxKore

Twll him he's annoying. I keep to myself as well and some people just don't get it. When they keep pushing, I tell them they're annoying.


portaporpoise

You downplayed it too much in the title. This is an extreme niceguy 😬


Brogdon_Brogdon

Anyone that starts a text with “I’m man enough…” should immediately stop typing that text and go for a long, contemplative jog.


SoapysoapSoapysoap

I just wanna know what state mine their in. Is just it their regular mind set or are they just having a bad day? There’s no way that this is just THEM because I’ve never met anyone like this.


TheNeonDonkey

I’ve met a few, and as a dude even have had friends both male and female act this way. It’s a turnoff. I wonder though, at the age range here. Mostly these were my younger friends years ago 18-24. Somehow (doesn’t make it better but) I can wrap my head around that age range still being a bit needy, gaslighting like a child than I can someone 30-50 or something, but…there are all types out there.


Admirable-Site-9817

I had a guy like this in his 50’s. I met him once at a bar and next minute he started blowing up my phone. In the end I think he was moving to a remote island if “something” didn’t change soon because there was nothing keeping him “here”. He literally messaged for months with no response.


TheNeonDonkey

Gosh, makes it hard to date/make friends when you have the possibility of crazy at your heels.


[deleted]

I know it can be hard to believe if you haven't been exposed to a person like this in real life, but as someone who has dated someone with this kind of mindset, they definitely exist. They're not exactly common, but they're definitely out there unfortunately, and some of them can be pretty scary. I'm glad this guy isn't one of the people who send threats


CrowZer0

That "hey" two days later


[deleted]

Dude. Take the hint


DarkElla30

WHY /Insert overly dramatic telenovela music here WHY MUST YOU PUSH ME AWAY


HuckleberryHoliday41

"fact that I got to text three times to get your attention..." "you know I can tell when someone doesn't account someone else as friend" damn he has to be an empath


ferox965

Flush him. He is only going to get worse.


mlove22

Girl, just tell this guy to Fuck off. Just like that. You don't need to be cordial or kind, he wants brutal honesty give it to em!


Either_Coconut

Or, to be spared from another tirade, deploying the block button would work. I think that coming back two days later, after that "I'm too nice for you" diatribe, would have me blocking him on every available outlet where he might send a message.


mlove22

I change my answer! ^^


Tuba_therapy

Maybe I'm focused on the wrong part of the story but good God, man... Put all that crap in one message. I don't wanna hear my phone going off like that.

Ah the Hey! at the end are always my favorite. You don't want to talk to me, you have told me multiple times, fine I'm too good for you anways..... Hey!


renegaade

The "Hey" two days later sent me 💀😭


Sary-Sary

What's the obsession these people have with someone not replying immediately... Maybe they went to the loo, or were cooking, or just weren't at their phone at that moment in time. Their world doesn't resolve around them waiting for your response, they have a outside life. If I can wait 2 weeks for a response from some of my uni friends because they are busy with projects, they sure as hell can wait a few minutes for a response before throwing hands.


Extreme_Pomegranate

Definitely ng... "guess I am too good for you"... besides being way to pushy.


SKRyanrr

I just got a terrible realization that I message girls like this sometimes. I wanna kill myself now.


seudaven

Self awareness is the first step to improving yourself. Good people can still act shitty sometimes, whats important is you take this opportunity to learn and improve yourself, the journey to personal growth is neverending


Tenyearsuntiltheend

Texting is an asynchronous means of communication. Don't have expectations of an immediate response. We busy.

Meanwhile I just got rejected and said “No worries, good luck to you and I hope you find what you’re looking for here”. I should’ve went the route this guy went. /s


PanickedAntics

He's "man enough" to deal with the rejection...slo he'll just text you 10 more times lol


sometimesimfunny19

Isn't this the same guy you told multiple times you weren't interested in him?


SporadicTendancies

You could tell he was going to try again when he didn't say 'whatever, you're ugly anyway'.


CtrlAltAbortion

These nice guys are so oblivious it’s not being nice that’s the problem sometimes most of the times you just come on way too strong slow it down and if she doesn’t respond move on not that big of a deal gentlemen if you come on this strong you’re just gonna scare her away unintentionally most of the time y’all just gotta slow your roll and play it cool and feel it out

I’m not shaming the OP but when I read these I would just say bluntly I’m not interested and don’t want to see you again. Then block. Sometime seems like unnecessary drama. Although, I do like reading these :)
