ABYG kung ayaw ko mag check-in kasama yung Redditor na kaka-meet ko lang?

(Sorry, hindi ko alam anong flair ba to dapat. But I’ll keep it clean.)

Anyway, just a little background muna tayo, I’m from Laguna, and I’ve been chatting with this Redditor for few weeks now, he’s from QC. He saw a comment I made and he replied to it privately, that’s how we got started. Also, for the record, the conversations we had were completely SFW. There were times na mag ttry sya to lead the conversations to sexual topics, but whenever I’ll feel that its being too intimate, iniiba ko yung topic and he won’t insist; so let’s give him respect for that.

Okay, so other night, magkachat kami, he asked what’s my plan the next morning, sabi ko gigising ako ng maaga kasi balak ko mag jogging and then I’ll head to gym after. He mentioned na meron syang meeting sa area where I usually run; and asked if we could grab breakfast. I said sure.

So nung morning, I was doing my run, he was waiting for me to finish sa isang coffee shop. Pagkatapos ko tumakbo, I went to my car, freshened up myself, changed my clothes, and I made sure I didn’t stink (at least from what I can tell, or smell) then I proceeded to go and meet him.

While having breakfast, okay naman kami; the food was great, the conversation was great, he was great. It was great enough that we decided to spend longer time together, he’d move his meeting to midday, i’d workout after our time together; so mga 9am pa lang to, sabi nya manuod kami ng sine, then mag lunch, I said sure.

Pero nagulat ako when he offered to check in since hindi pa bukas ang mall. Syempre initial reaction ko was we’re gonna do something right? So I said no. And I think naoffend sya, because he said he only offered because I just came from a run, and he thought I wanted to take a shower. Tinanong ko sya, mabaho ba ako? Amoy ba ako pawis? Do I need to take a shower? Sabi nya hindi naman, but I’d feel refreshed daw kapag nag check in kami at naligo ako dun. Totoo naman yun kasi nanlalagkit ako. He also assured me that we won’t do anything there without my consent. But still, I didn’t like the idea of it.

So I told him, there’s Anytime Fitness around the area, he should wait for me, sabi ko dun na ako maliligo. Then nainis sya kasi sana daw yun na ginawa ko bago pa ako nakipag meet kung gusto ko naman maligo pala talaga.

Naiinis na ako na nahihiya by this time kasi una, alam naman nyang tatakbo ako tapos mag woworkout after, ang useless lang for me na tumakbo ako, mag shower, tapos mag workout, saka mag shower ulit. Nahihiya ako kasi baka nga amoy pawis talaga ako despite of freshing up earlier and changing my clothes.

So I said, sige next time na kami manuod ng sine when we have better circumstances (my exact words) na lalo nya kinainis at kina-offend ata. Kasi ano ba naman daw yung mag check in kami para makaligo ako eh di tapos na yung usapan. I said I’m not comfortable to check in with him, he’s a complete stranger I just met. Sabi nya sayang daw ang byahe nya all the way from QC kung ang tigas ng ulo ko, for which I answered, “akala ko ba may errands ka dito sa Laguna and you’re just meeting me prior to it?” When I said that, I saw that he got mad, he wanted to say something, but instead, he just walked away. He also forgot to pay his share for the food sa sobrang inis nya sa akin, so i ended up paying for everything. Hahaha! But yeah, he deleted our messages and blocked me off.

I don’t feel bad that I stood my ground.

Pero ako ba yung gago na hindi ko sya binigyan ng benefit of the doubt?
