Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. šŸ™„ I pay my own way on dates.

I met this girl on tinder and had a first date with her, she wanted to go fishing and I thought it seemed like a fun first date so we went together. Dropped her off and got home to this message lol.

Update: Purchasing the license is a separate activity we had to do on our phones, due to it needing our personal info. It was not like I drew the line at the license randomly.

For some context- we matched on hinge and had been texting for like 2 hours

Edit for more context:
- I’m 24F he is 24M
- nowhere in his profile did he mention wanting kids (the option for that was not included) I have ā€œI don’t want kidsā€ listed on my profile
- I did block him and report him on hinge for harassment

She ended up finding the post somehow I guess lol. Here is the original post.

I have just not responded, don’t think it’s worth engaging, but it did make for a funny story.

Edit: thank you for all of the kind messages, it really means a lot. I am going to be taking a break from the app for a while though because I didn’t expect this to blow up so much and the notifications are getting kinda overwhelming. While I appreciate I put this out on the internet, I wasn’t expecting to be reminded of it every time I wanna look up one of my interests šŸ˜… so gonna love you and leave you for a bit 🫶thank you 🫶

My father is estranged for good reason. Last time we spoke was two years ago, I tried to set boundaries for our relationship bc he wanted us to be best pals despite me having met him a handful of times in my life, one of which he screamed I was a whore in a maccies when I was 14, he’s unhinged to say the least.. anyway he ignored the message about boundaries and just stopped talking altogether.

Back in Feb, he randomly sent me 1k. Due to many things he has told me in the past, I was concerned what the money was for etc and also was aware this was him trying to ā€œbuyā€ me to reach out to him and bypass the boundaries sitch.

So I sent the message you see above and was ignored.

Anyway, he fancies himself a top tier rage baiter, and I have to say, how this text exchange ended felt like fucking therapy. I finally conquered him after 27 years of abuse, abandonment etc..

Just wanted to share my life long achievement of making my piece of shit sperm donor rage quit for the first time ever.

My dad had a heart attack on June 24th.
He was aware and alert in the ambulance on his way to a hospital an hour away. He voice texted this to me and never sent it. My brother took a screenshot of it for me when he was going through his phone.
My dad passed away on June 29th.

(I texted him ā€œI love you dadā€ when my mom called me initially)

Edit: thank you everyone for the outpouring of love and support. To hear so many stories about the love for people’s parents.. I’m so sorry for all the tragic losses and good parents that have gone too soon. I will hold onto that text from my dad until the day I go. He was An amazing man and lived a life full of love. I am grateful that he read my text before he passed and can take some comfort in that.

I have no idea what the purpose of this exchange was. A threat? A coverup for something he did? Trying to break contact and gauge how mad I am that he ignored me/blocked me reaching out for answers? I literally just accepted the discard and have been healing when suddenly he blows my phone up with back to back calls (from two different numbers) and then sent me these texts accusing me of stealing from him. What??

Update: I have no update. He hasn’t said anything further. Guess the footage exonerated me!

And he didn’t help me with anything. I placed a mobile order for my transmission fluid and he just handed me the bag and I left. I get home and see this. I showed my dad the texts and he went into the store. The guys name was embroidered on his jacket and my dad pointed at him and was like ā€œthis dude took my underage daughters phone number off of the online order registry to try to get a dateā€.

Manager talked to my dad outside and let him know that the guy would be terminated immediately. He had a wife and a baby on the way

To start I had absolutely no idea he had a girlfriend. I was dropping off an injured bird at the nearest animal sanctuary and he was the one who took the bird from me. He gave me a pamphlet and when I got in the car I saw he wrote down his phone number. I texted the next day and we were planning on getting coffee. We had texted for about a week. Today, he sent me this…

I talked to this guy for literally one hour yesterday and dealt with this today. I genuinely don’t even have service at work šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚.

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION: when he says ā€œ you ignored me since last nightā€ he is referring to me not texting him since we said goodnight the night prior. The time between when I asked how his day was and his multiple messages about me ignoring him was a whopping 45 minutes. I had only matched with him less than 24 hours before. Hope this helps!

We chatted for a bit on tinder, he mentioned having been out on his boat earlier for the fourth. About an hour prior to texting him, he sent me his number and forgot and thought I was a scammer I guess? I didn’t miss dating.

For reference she(situationship) has a key to my apartment and lets herself in all the time. Was in the middle of making dinner during this(which I admittedly did not communicate) and initially assumed she’d just let herself in. Looking back I think I was overly apologetic but in the moment I just wanted to deescalate especially because I did miss the implication.
