| Welcome to the Continuing Saga of As the Tummy Turns |
| Last we left, our heroine, Miss Kimmie, was miserable, having lost her true love...where do things stand now? Has she started dating again? Well, it has been six months since Ron and I broke up, and readers of this blog will be surprised - I am not over him yet; and I have not been dating anyone new. Seriously, I think this time it was for real... Anyhow, I am not dead, so don't worry - I have reached the point where I can LOOK at other men and I have decided that at six months, I really should TRY to start dating again. So, recently, when I was at a Veteran's Day Service, a seemingly nice man asked if he could join me with the coffee I was drinking, and I said yes. Bad mistake. We only spoke for about 1/2 an hour, but here is a copy of the text of the e-mail he sent me within an hour of our parting (the typos are his, not mine): Dearest Kim, I just can't stop thinking about you! when we met you thrilled me instantly. HOping this will be the beginning of something speacil. I won't rush you. Just want to be with you and share as many things as possible . here I have said it. I was affraid to express my feelings to you I know we only have met but for some weird unexplainable reason I feel we knew each other in a former realm of time. I hope you not think that weird of me. Just my feelings expressed. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible maybe if you receive this before tonight you'll call methis afternoon, please do. Gotta Run baby Doll! I have you in my thoughts. May God Bless you and I thank him for bringing you into my life... Peace [name deleted by Editor] xxx Meanwhile, he also took to calling me - 5 times within the next 24 hours, including as late as midnight, and then first thing the next morning. I was going to call in response to his e-mail, but after all this, I decided the man was a freak show and e-mailed a response instead, as follows: "___" I am not exactly sure how to respond to all the attention you have been showering on me since meeting you yesterday, so I will just be as honest as possible. As you requested when we spoke yesterday, no BS. Although I am flattered by your interest, and enjoyed speaking with you yesterday; it appears that it meant much more to you than it did to me. Your overwhelming attempts at contacting me - and calling someone at midnight is rather overwhelming - as well as your outpouring of emotions have not scared me off, so much as they have turned me off. Including this e-mail to which I am responding, you have contacted me six times in less than 24 hours. This is, to put it mildly, excessive. This will be the only contact to which I respond; and I am going to have to ask that you stop calling. This obsessive behavior is rather disquieting, and have come to the decision that I do not wish to pursue a relationship with you - platonic or otherwise. I thank you for respecting my boundaries. Kimberly By now, I was pretty sure this guy was a complete nut-job, and decided that I should probably save all communications to give to the police. Good idea, because here is what he wrote back: Kim, My response to you email is as follows. Emotionally, I know how I stand. For someone such as yourself to say the things you did to me in your email is rude. I was and will always be a Gentleman and an Honorable man. I regret your feeling the way you do. I was under the impression from speaking with you that you were sincere, But, as i suspected, you were not! Your Grand Father would have surely disagreed with your dission in being with me. You led me to beleive that there was somerhting. and I do appoligize for my late phone calls. As for passing out a card to someone from now on show some respect to an individual for being honest. you expressed to me that we would be friends ansd NO BS! again as my uncle and mentor (marine Ret.) would always say " The good Guy always comes in last!' But, as I see it It's all good, i had a spendid time that i shared with you and and am thankful for our introduction. I hope one day that you'll realize men like myself are a rae find. I'm no conceeded, Convinced! I too will now become Politically involved thanks to Our Chatting. so maybe in the future we'll run into each other at a fund raiser for my polical career. Take Care of yourself and i hope you find what you are seeking in life, Once again , be careful on how you lead a man on. take care Semper Fi! Okay, the angry vibe was a tip off as to the fact that this guy is not all there. Combined with the huge ego (note the improper capitalization and the self-aggrandizement) and you can see that this guy is a psychopath. He also assumes that I am desperately seeking a man (I am not) and "warns" me about "leading a man on". Please. I changed my mind about him due to his own behavior, and that is "lying" to him. Freaky!! What's more, he knows I don't want to see him again, but refuses to let go, claiming he will now run for political office (not simply volunteer - this guy needs to be #1) because I am politically active. Moreover, he tries to lay a guilt trip on me by saying I am dissapointing my late grandfather. As for "Semper Fi"...that is a greeting used by U.S. Marines, the world's finest fighting force. He wants to imply he is one of them, without actually saying so - because that would be a lie. What we have here, is a psychopath. Ted Bundy was a psychopath, too, you know! Anyhow, the icing on the cake was this morning...since I went to the cops, the guy has not contacted me...directly. This morning, I got a voicemail from one of his friends. Here is a transcript of it... "Hi, Kimmie? My name is *****; I'm a friend of ____'s, from Group. Listen, I know you don't know me; but ____ is having a hard time getting you out of his head. He really needs closure on your relationship, and I was hoping you would meet him for for coffee somewhere, so the two of you could discuss where things went wrong..." Closure? Relationship? It was just coffee. I feel like I am on candid camera. xoxo, Kimmie P.S. If anyone can tell me where I was rude, I would greatly appreciate it!! Was Miss Kimmie rude? Or is this guy completely off his rocker? And has our heroine seen the last of him? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of As the Tummy Turns! |
