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

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!

Oh, it's cute when boys "neg" you to get you to prove yourself and date them, isn't it? :madface:

In this case, it's all "Bye Felicia" and "Unsubscribe" in the texts. I seriously doubt that his aunt would hold much influence in your life. If he threatens to sic his aunt on you, I'd send the messages to the aunt.

If you're worried about his aunt, I would say the safest response is exactly what you're already doing: ignore him. Professor Aunt could come after you for doing something that can be misconstrued, but she can't really fault you for lack of action.

If you've been "dodging him" already, why on earth would you respond to the text? Just ignore him. Problem solved. Responding to the text in any way is just going to encourage him to continue pursuing 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...

"Allow the comment to roll off your back." She said she was furious so not sure how this advice would work for her... she has every right to be pissed because it's insulting, regardless of whether nursing school is tough or not. Run from any guy who says you need to "chill" or "relax."

A comment like that would have gotten ANYONE dropped out of my life so fast they wouldn't even know it happened.

Dont dignify it with a response. No response is a powerful response.

He's not worth the time or effort. You already aren't interested. So its not like someone you care about made the comment. Yes, I'd be pissed to, but responding will not change anything. Just ignore the text. In fact, block his number. He'll get the message. And don't worry about the Aunt. She has no right to do anything to you because of him. And if she tried, you could go to the head of the department.

Maybe you could show his aunt what he said? Getting into a pissing match with him might not be a great idea, for political reasons.

But I've never seen a nursing instructor who didn't think very highly of what they did (and of the education it took to get there), so maybe she needs to "correct" him.

You don't need to rip him a new one.

You should end contact and block his number, and then let law enforcement handle it if he attemots to force further contact.

Except for this guy. 6 months of weekly emails with no response from the girl and he was still pursuing the girl.
