Foreword:

So, I came across this profile on Tinder.  There was only one photo, of the original Star Wars logo.  The 500 characters were humorous, interesting and I was curious as to what kind of person this guy was.  After swiping right, I discovered that the guy was horrible at responding, pretty funny and seemed genuinely nice.  Although, I had no idea what he looked like I decided to just chat and see what happened.  Eventually, he made it to my phone (mostly because the Tinder notifications stopped working) and well.....I changed his name do Donald The Neckbeard after the first text on my phone.  Not once during our conversations did I ever feel like I was in danger of interacting with a neckbeard but it happened anyway.  I'll just let you enjoy things as they unfolded. - S

Reflection:
From that point on our conversation delved into things that make no difference and eventually I text him that I didn't think it would work out and that i was seeing where things went with someone else.  All of which were true.  I didn't offer to be friends, out of fear that he would just be strung along despite me being honest that it would never happen between us.  Of course he did offer to be friends, and I having a heart occasionally, reluctantly conceded.  He then proceeded to tell me that "In the spirit of honesty, he would be a liar if he didn't say that he had started developing feelings for me..."  Which, was exactly what I was afraid of!!!  I have been basically giving him the cold shoulder since, but he still sends me texts every few days.  I haven't responded to any of them.  So, thus ends (sort of) my encounter with Donald The Neckbeard. - S
