Cruel Joke

Well, I was originally going to post updates from my last posting, but then I had good news and was going to post about my upcoming date (not real), but instead I get to post about the meanest thing ever done to me.

I get a text yesterday saying "this is Michael and this is my new number."

I have like 4 Michaels in my phone so I asked "Michael who", he says Michael Johnson; I don't remember him. He tells me he met me at Paint the Town. I was a house lead and met a bunch of people during that event, as I worked two prep days, the rain out day, two work days, and two high ladder days. He said he worked on one of the Kroger houses in July, which narrows it down a little bit, but i still don't remember this guy. We chat for a few minutes more, and I figure I was so frantic, I've just forgotten about this guy, but apparently I had given out my number as a contact, which happened a lot over the course of the event. I told him to find me on facebook if he wanted (and maybe jog my memory). He says he doesn't do facebook, prefers personal interactions, and would i like to go to dinner, then asks me if I have a boyfriend.

Silly me, I tell him no, and start do some asking around to the people that helped on the event to try and figure it out. Meanwhile, I say I'll go, and he suggests Maggiano's, which is a really good italian restaurant here. Asks me if I'll go that night, but I had kickball, so I suggested the next night and set it up so a friend and his girlfriend would be there at the same time. We arranged to meet at 7:30pm.

Fast forward to later that night, and I'm hanging out with Anthony, and I get a text that says "hey butthead." I show the entire chain to Anthony and he thinks it's a joke. I have this one friend, David, that likes to play tricks, so I text him and ask if he's been messing with me all day. He says "maybe."

The next day, he sends me a text about his dog, and I tell him I don't want to talk to him. He tells me he was going to tell me and meant to send me a message right after, that he was screwing with me.

So, basically, a person I thought was a friend registers a new number, creates an elaborate scheme to mess with me, then says nothing about it until I confront him. I decided that he is not worth my time as a friend, so I have cut off all communication, which would bug him more than if I had yelled at him.

I defriended him on facebook, and haven't responded to any of his texts he's been sending me periodically for the past two days. I'm not changing my number, so hopefully, he gets the hint and leaves me alone.
