[META] Have you had someone you 'clicked' with just back off? How do you deal with the lack of communication and get past it?

Yeah, actually. I met a girl on here, saw her a few times, went to a local con together. Then inexplicably, she blocked my number, facebook, all forms of communication. Came to find out, she had actually come to the con to meet up with someone else she'd met on Reddit. He had been talking to her for a while, and she'd arranged to come up and meet him, and figured visiting me would be a good reason.

Why? Well, because I'd offered to pay for her to make the trip to the con. And it all worked out pretty well, because I'd offered to pay for his ticket too.

"Wait", I hear you ask, "Why would you do that?!"

A reasonable question, dear reader, and I shall regale you with such a tale, that you shall laugh, and I shall sob uncontrollably into whatever bedding I might find this eve.

For you see, the man she can to visit was none other than my best friend's boyfriend! Yes, quite so, for it came to be that he had been cheating on her for quite a time, and I'd offered to pay for their tickets to the con as well! Ah, such a glorious turn of terror for me, as it is!

But alas, for the tale of our two would-be lovers, he was caught by his girlfriend, and was forced to rescind his offer of a time of passion with her, and immediately after, she chose to return to her home, and I had paid for a total of 4 3-day tickets to a con, the cost of her trip to here, and the only person to be found to console my frustration was the girlfriend of the man who had destroyed my chances with the original r4r match.

But oh! do not fret, dear reader, for as it happens, that was far from the worst thing to happen that year!

Yes, it turns out such a noble man, that he should attempt to steal a date from me when he was so engaged, did decide to cheat on her not one more time, but decided to do so and be arrested in a local county in a child sex sting!

Yes, it is so, nothing sane could ever happen in my life, and as such, you now know the reason I drink every morn and night.

And if any of the three of you feel like arguing about the events, feel free to never contact me.
