Should I just leave him to simmer...?

Question - (3 October 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 3 October 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, *sdfg writes:

See this question: http://www.dearcupid.org/question/what-could-possibly-have-been-going-through-his.html for the story leading up to this.

He's been writing me on Facebook nonstop telling me how sorry he is and how I'm somehow different from those girls and I'm somehow not a skank or whatever even though they are and I have a lot of the same traits/experiences as two of them, plus more.

He's sent me like 10 messages, including sending me messages on FB chat that I never replied to. All that I've sent him in the midst of all of his apologizing is: "'The women in these stories were only illusions and there was never anything as significant or as long as our online conversations.' Yet if I'm not mistaken, you referred to this diary as 'creative nonfiction' before you sent it to me.

Creative nonfiction... kind of like yellow journalism? Am I missing something? In any event, whether or not your little black book is full of real stories or fake stories, now you can take pride in having at least one true story. Cheers!"

Now he's entered angry phase, I suppose you could say, since I'm not responding to any of his apologies. As his status on Facebook today said, "now I'm just getting f*king p*ssed off" since I'm not giving him attention, which I admit I'm doing on purpose. Plus, he said on his profile he's now saying that he never should have apologized for his "past" in the first place.

I have no intentions of continuing my friendship with this kid. We don't even live by each other anymore, as it is, and he doesn't go to my school anymore since he moved about 20 minutes away.

So now I'm wondering, should I just leave him to simmer and wonder what the heck happened and how/why his book really bothered me until he eventually forgets about me, or should I send him a letter telling him exactly what bothered me and why we can't be friends? Which would be more effective?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (3 October 2010):

In my opinion you both sound crazy. Him for obvious reasons, and you for thinking you'll just sleep with him for fun while you have 2 FWB and expect him NOT to think you're easy? What planet are you on? Then you went to his crazy level and wrote a journal entry about YOU but you wrote it as if you were him...and you two are supposed to be some sort of political savvy / intelligent people?...no wonder why politicians don't know how to solve anything at all.

The obvious answer is ignore him and not talk to him. Hes weird and creepy, and just by dealing with him you're acting weird and creepy.
