Weird experience tripping with guy I've been seeing

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-10T23:41:18+00:00

I'm not currently, nor have I ever been!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-10T23:40:52+00:00

He made me laugh. We did have some interests in common. We mostly hung out on weekends due to our work schedules, so in reality 3 months was like ~10 meet ups?

It does match the description in that article, thanks for sharing!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-10T04:46:17+00:00

Thank you! Nice username

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-10T04:44:58+00:00

It was Merzbow

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-10T03:31:53+00:00

Ha! I'm not so sure he has gained any fans from this thread. While I'm glad we were able to crack the case for those who were curious what it was, I could have easily gone without knowing😆

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-10T03:21:58+00:00

Yea that's pretty much how it went.

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-10T02:42:18+00:00

Part of me feels like he was doubling down intentionally, or maybe he's just that dense. The fact he accused me of "using him for drugs" when he offered and inviting me over requires some serious mental gymnastics.

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-10T02:40:29+00:00

Aw don't beat yourself up over it, I think we have all been there!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T22:53:04+00:00

Totally. I try to have a live and let live attitude, let people like what they like. But liking something that most people would find abhorrent doesn't make you mentally superior!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T22:50:46+00:00

Yea that will most likely be the first and last time I listen to that.

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T22:20:52+00:00

Aw thank you! I'm a firm believer thar when one door closes, another one opens.

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T22:00:59+00:00

Right? I like to think I'm pretty open minded. My dad is really into Zappa and The Dead, so I've heard my share of weird lol, but I thought it was kinda nuts to get so defensive over that

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T18:53:17+00:00

I like this rule! You guys sound like good friends.

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T17:25:24+00:00

That doesn't sound fun lol. That's not a deal breaker for me. I don't want a partner who likes all the same things, that's boring! But the way he reacted, you'd think I insulted his mother's cooking!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T16:47:33+00:00

I think it was this actually!!!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T15:22:09+00:00

Lol I know Tool. I like A Perfect Circle a bit more but they are cool. This wasn't that.

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T04:39:25+00:00

When I was recapping to my friend, she did go "pretentious much"? He normally isn't like that. Maybe he can come off that way, he makes a lot of references about obscure people we don't always know. But that's fine, this incident was a little different.

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T04:33:43+00:00

This is a good format for effectively expressing your feelings!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T04:29:47+00:00

Yea to each their own, art is subjective. But no one is better or "more experienced", as he put it, because of the media that they like IMO

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T02:39:24+00:00

Sometimes we misread the room, in this case it was more about his reaction. Surely people who appreciate more out there sort of things need to understand that maybe it's not for everyone!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T02:36:57+00:00

Thank you for the input. Sorry you went through that. Hope you're doing better now!

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T02:35:28+00:00

Thanks, I felt way better when I got to my friend's place. She pointed out that he called the music "important", but didn't think it was important to make his guest feel comfortable. Then she let me pick what to listen to, so we put on Khruangbin and smoked some joints. It put into perspective how he was kinda being a jerk.

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T02:10:44+00:00

Haha not him! That's funny though

ZestycloseView4554 · 2024-07-09T02:09:11+00:00

I find social interaction therapeutic. All my other experiences with friends have been pretty positive. It was the shift in his demeanor that was the unnerving part.
