#36 Always Trust Your Gut
He brought flowers to my dorm and everyone saw. They assumed we were a couple. He made small talk with a few people as he waited for me in the lobby and even added them on Facebook, saying he would “definitely be seeing them again.”
He did a lot of things “nice guys” are expected to do. He opened the car door for me, paid for dinner, etc. But I could feel that underneath it all, I was accumulating some sort of debt; as if he expected me to owe him something in return for his chivalry.
My gut feeling ended up being right. When I told him I didn’t want to see him anymore, he started harassing me and saying that I owed him a second date. Gross, I know. Eventually, I just stopped responding to his texts. I realized afterward I should have trusted my gut and avoided him in the first place. So I’ll take the blame for that.
