"You know, maybe we should stop seeing each other. I have another guy that has been asking me out, maybe I should let him." I agree. The tears fall and I get a clean house and home cooked meal in the interim. 808 upvotes | April 7, 2016 | by seattleron ------------------------- Summary: Plate tries to call my bluff when bringing up the talk of an LTR with a statement to the effect of: "Maybe we should stop seeing each other, another guy has been asking me out maybe I should let him." I instantly agree, waterfalls come from her eyes, the next day she cleans my apartment and cooks a meal. Also, banged 3 times in the interim. Body: Had a pretty regular plate come over couple weeks ago with an attitude. I could tell something was up from the beginning. We've been banging for about 2 months and I can read her like a book. She's even said it's scary how well I know exactly what she's thinking at all times (read: normal hamster tendencies). She feels vulnerable around me and even told me "I think you're perfect" on more than one occassion. She's hooked pretty bad, and seriously cannot get enough sex when she comes over. She always brings me food, so my stomach is full and balls are empty every single time she comes to my apartment. Anyway, the other day she comes over and has an attitude. I am in the middle of doing some work on my side business on my computer and I can tell she's got a bug up her ass for some reason. I ignore. Her: Annoyed sigh. Me: No response. Her: Pay attention to me! Me: Are you going to do a magic trick? (smirk) Her: You're a real asshole sometimes you know that? Me: Yes. She just blurts it out. Her: What are we? Me: (I do not flinch, still staring at my computer) I'm hungry, not sure about you? Her: Seriously, what are we? Me: I'm serious, I'm about to go make a sandwich. Her: I hate you! You're so mean to me! You know, maybe we should stop seeing each other. Another guy has been asking me out, maybe I should let him! At this point i'm starting to get pissed as I have work to finish up, she's killing my good mood, and I hate these talks which seem to happen more and more lately. They're just fucking exhausting. I instantly fire back without hesitation. Me: I agree. Lock the door on your way out. The tears come rushing down at this point. I get the whole "you don't even care about me" speech. She tells me how unappreciative I am, how she cares so much about me, blah, blah. I do not respond. When she is done I just tell her that she knew I didn't want a girlfriend and have been honest with her from the start, I did not promise anything, and that if she thinks it's in her best interests to not see me any longer, I understand. I show no emotion (I'm not mean mind you, I stopped on the computer and I'm looking at her at this point). She is sitting on the floor crying while I'm at the computer desk and then gets up and leaves. For the next 2 hours I get floods of long texts. From anger, to sadness, to being called a "worthless" POS. I lol'd at that one. I'm a pretty productive SOB, so she is really grasping at straws now. I do not respond to any of them. She then begs to come back over and starts the apologies. She says she is on her way over. My only response was: heading to bed. 20 minutes later she comes to the front door, we bang 3 times and I go to sleep. I wake up to a clean house and a sweet breakfast made when I wake up. Not a single word since then about being exclusive, and she's been much, much happier lately. I don't get it really, other than the fact that she must now realize I have a spine and her emotions do not affect me. She is taking comfort in that and is really trying to prove her worth to me. As many of you know, I do enjoy LTR's with good girls, so maybe she will prove to be worth one, but I learned a long time ago you need time with a woman to decide if she's worth it, and no way I'm doing that after barely 8 weeks of sporadic sex. Lesson Learnt: Keep frame 100% of the time. It only makes their attraction to you increase, and it shows that she can trust your masculinity. The bonus is that they know you won't be manipulated by emotion, so they have to truly prove their worth.
