OK. So, this girl I dated from work calls me up today and tells me about how she now has a boyfriend who works in I.T. where she lives. I, work in I.T. at the place we work at together. She proceeds to tell me that he gets to travel all around the world with his job, and he makes six figures a year, is about to buy a big house, not like the house I live in (which is really small,) and he tells her that he is falling for her. Back when I dated her, I started falling for her and she said that creeped her out. Basically the whole time saying (without really saying it with words) that he's everything I'm not. Can promise to take her to Italy and to all these places. Pretty much made me feel about as inadequate as inadequate can get! Definitely nothing I needed during my dating drought!

Man, I tell ya, when it rains it pours! Sorry again for venting. I realize these forums are probably not intended for threads like this, but sometimes it's best to talk to people not close to the situation. Thanks guys!

Did you ask her why she called to tell you about that? Weird.

I guess if the guy has enough money, it doesn't creep her out. Sounds like you're better off without her.

It is completely bizarre that she would call you and brag about the new guy. Did you hurt her feelings by any chance? Is she vindictive?

Whatever! You do not want a woman who wants you for a big house and trips to Italy. You want a woman who wants you for who you are and what your relationship with her is like. You'd have been wasted on her.

So true, it lets people know they are not alone in the freaky world of dating.

I'm sorry that you received this bizarre phone call. I can't even imagine what her motivations are. But I have to think that the other guy sounds too good to be true -- like everyone else, he has skeletons in his closet and she'll discover them soon enough....assuming he keeps her around long enough....!

Aw, geez. That stinks. I agree with everyone -- you're better off without her if she's that materialistic (and she's probably not all that mature, either).

On the bright side, the six-figure salary, combined with the travel, means she probably won't be seeing much of him in the long run. Thus, she might be going to his big house to dog-sit and water the plants rather than hanging out with him.

Or maybe not, but at least you can snicker about the possibility.

Aw dude that stinks!

Like the others have said, you're better off. If she's calling to tell you that to rub it in it speaks volumes about her ... what kind of sad, pathetic, attention-craving, needy existence is she living?

Think she'll call you to brag after he's done boning her and kicks her to the curb?

Wow, you really dodged a bullet there. Any person who would go out of their way to throw their happiness in another's face like this is a poor excuse for a human. I'd be glad I didn't actually fall for that one!
