Do I attract you? Do I repulse you? Why don't you like me without making me try?

After he called me drunk from a # I didn't recognize, leaving me a depressing sounding message and answering the phone as "pine island marina" I couldn't do it anymore. So I never called him. He asked me to PLEASE call him on Saturday, and I just didn't.

Then he started texting me.

"Do you still want to talk to me, or no?"

That was Monday. I told him I had been drinking and I would call him when I could talk.
He texted me back with "Okay" followed by "I hear you've been drinking a lot lately" two hours later.

When I woke up this morning I asked "From who?" and he started in with "Little birds. I wasn't saying it to make you feel bad. Lord knows I've been on a tear lately. its just kind of sad." I dislike it when people aren;t forthright, so I didn't respond and he kept texting me anyway, as if he were having a pleasant conversation AT me. "You know those little birds, always chirping about everyone when they're not in earshot. probably chirping about me when I'm not." This was continued with "So... are you ever going to call, or should i just stop making the effort?"

even when we're not dating he pushes to get his way, he doesn't listen to me when I tell him things.

So I told him "IDK if they've been talking about you, to be honest, I haven't asked. But they need more reliable sources for their info regarding me."

Immediately he got heated replying with "I never asked anyone about you, SK. Except for when I asked YOU. so are you ever going to call me? I have bottomless texts now. we can do this as long as you want."

So first he misleads me to believe his friends are talking about me and then he threatens me to try and get his way? WHAT A FUCKING CATCH SK, WHAT A FUCKING GOOD CATCH. And then he takes the fact that all those times he told me I could call him if I wanted to talk (which i never actually did) as me saying I wanted to talk to him. Let's just point out the fact he spent a whole week calling and texting me about how he wanted to talk to me. not the other way around.

"You did say on numerous occasions that you wanted to talk to me. was that true? or did you just want to play text-pong with me until I got sick of it?"

He sent that twice, two hours apart.

and because I still get sick when I see his picture I didn't have the balls to tell him I dont want to hear what he has to say. to defend myself one more time. so I avoided the question by answering "Dude, chill out. I told you last night i'd call you when i can talk".

I want to go back to last week when he was texting me and saying stuff like "If it makes you feel any better, im hurting really bad right now. about everything" It does, in fact, it's the only thing he's said that I want to hear.
