He Said I "Act Like I'm In Med School or Something!"

Published

So this guy who wants to date me, but I've been dodging left and right, texted me today saying I act like I'm in Med school and it was just nursing school, "I need to chill". Obviously he's degrading/belittling my choice of studies. He's also a computer engineering student.

I haven't text him back yet because I'm too furious. I knew there was something off about him which is why I kept dodging his calls/texts! Idk what to say because his AUNT is a professor at my school. 😞😞😞 I don't want to get kicked out for ripping her nephew a new one!

How would they justify kicking you out of school just because you wouldn't date him? Relax and ignore him. He's obviously a jerk. Why would you have to rip him a new one? You really think his aunt would step in?

Have you told him your dreams of becoming a NICU NP?

You know, NICU NP, minus the bad news, and pulling the plug???

Most guys say complimentary things when they want to date you.

I do not see why/how this comment generated such an indignant reaction within you. Many people portray nursing school as the hardest venture in the world when it really is not as difficult as they make it out to be.

Allow the comment to roll off your back. And, since it seems you aren't all that into this guy, perhaps you might want to cut ties with him...

True. Some people do overdramatize how hard it is but he still sounds like not a very nice guy. I would be pissed off at the attitude too.

Not worth your time to rip him a new one. Cut ties and move on.

Anyone who would treat someone they like or love like this - no matter what -- even IF you were overreacting or whatever - does not deserve your time. It doesnt matter if its freaking auto body school, if you are feeling stressed, they should support you. Period.

Sounds like that jerk guy is going to be BAD NEWS to anyone who connects with him. Like manifestations of early S&S of a potential manipulator, controller, abuser, etc. As in TOXIC!!!

RUN, do not just walk away!!!!

So, a guy you didn't like in the first place said something to confirm your suspicions that he wasn't worth dating?

No point in ripping him a new one. Turn down the drama knob on your radio, and next time he contacts you, dispassionately and calmly let him know that you aren't interested. Period. No explanations. Goodbye and best wishes.
