#2 got dissed, but I still need to talk to him. He has terrible self-esteem, and that's a turn-off. He texted me about being sorry he's not the kind of man I want, etc. Ugh... I'm just going to tell him I met John first and after a few dates really want to date only him. That's not true because I do have another date this week but I don't have much hope for the guy. He turns everything I say into something about him. John has been doing that too. Today I stopped talking after John took the conversation over several times, and after a few lulls on the phone where I said nothing, I think he may have caught on. Is that a guy thing? Does he really think his life is that much more wonderful and exciting than mine? I am going to talk to him about it in person if it happens the next time I see him. I'm not going to let anything fester and get worse.
