QUESTION # 608: CELLULAR FUNKY CHICKENS

Dear Useless Men,

A girl from work hooked me with this guy she was friends with for the past 7 years. Seemed like a nice enough guy at first so I talk and dated him. When the sex talk began I told him I do not want to unless I am with the person as a couple.

After about two weeks of dating we did the funky chicken. He stopped calling and was only texting me for three days straight. I texted him and asked him if he was still interested. He said yes so I called him and we talked. In that talk he went from "yes I want to be with you" to "no I do not see myself with you" to "lets be friends". I am pretty blunt and asked him not to give me a line if he was not into me just to say that. I asked him to come over after he was done with his friends and he said yes. I started think maybe this is a lie so I sent him some text messages that told him that I know he not coming over and that he was using me. He never responded to them so the next day I sent him and email that was not nice.

I called him out cause I wanted him to admit and just say he used me. In the email I told him what I thought and also sent him a copy of another email that I sent my friend a few days earlier. In the email I made mention about " I do not what was worse the 5 mins of sex or the his non-stop talking about his ex" and " If that is average, then I do not want it"

Then I sent an email to the girl that hooked up us. Telling her the nice version of everything. She responded and said he is a nice guy and would not do that. I texted him and asked him if we could clear the air. He called me and we talked for a bit. Then he cam over and we had sex again. Then he just texted me for two day then came over again to help me move somethings. We talked about things and I thought things were cool again. Yes, I had sex with him again. But he has not called me at all since then and only one text to say that he was going to call later but never did. (two days ago)

He just got divorced two months ago after his wife let him for a woman. Because of this "he says" he not ready for anything at this time. He says he thought he was ready but he was wrong. That he feels dead inside since his break up. He keeps flip flopping and I do not know what to believe is the truth.

I feel like I am going crazy cause I am used to men wanting to be with me and treat me like a queen. This one come along and ignores me and is not what I want in a mate at all.Yet I am attracted to him so some unknown reason but can not stand him either.

I feel stupid cause I rushed into something and the fact I feel like I am just a booty call. Which is not okay by me at all cause for one I am way hotter than him. lol.

Please help me understand because I am completely and totally stupid of this thing.

Feeling Used

Dear Feeling Used,

As a man, here is what I see from your letter. You gave in. Regardless of whatever else you say, he got it, and that’s it.

Now most women see that as being used but it really isn’t. I think of it like the way you are using your cell phone. You told the man in question that you would not have funky chicken with him unless he committed to you. Did you get a contract signed? Of course not. You are a person, not a cell phone company.

The cell phone people have it figured out. They’ll give some funky chicken rate on your airtime, and even throw in a free phone to attract you to their lair instead of their competitors, like that MILF Ma Bell. That Ma Bell will steal the souls of all the men that think they are using her because she has a monopoly. And that includes a monopoly on your guy.

With a long-term cell phone contract, you get a lot of benefits like cheaper rates, but you are locked into the plan. If you want out, there is a penalty. Where is your penalty? When this guy stopped being committed, what are the consequences? From your letter, it appears he received increased service. And that would NEVER happen with a cell phone company.

What I think you should do is consider offering better reception, and a free phone, to the guy that will sign on for a long-term commitment.

Sincerely,
One Useless Man
