I've been pondering over creating this thread for the past couple of days since the situation at hand arose. I think you guys might be the only people I can talk to about this right now, since the anonymity of online message boards often means honest responses and shared experiences. My friends in real life on the other hand...

"Bambi, what are you doing? When you get hurt, don't say we didn't warn you!"

I'll admit I like to play with fire. I'm also a very typical Gemini which makes me a massive hypocrite. I hate game playing, but give me full control over it and I can be tempted. On a daily basis, I tend to be really a very modest person - If the right kind of situation massages my ego, it's a totally different story.

So you can imagine how smug it made me the other day to have a guy basically begging for me to give him a second chance. I also know he's got something of an ego on him too, which made it even more satisfying for me.

It was a short fling that ended months ago when he told me he'd been to visit and also slept with his ex. It felt pretty shit, because we really got on well and were both hugely attracted to each other in a very physical sense.  Hurt by this, I hit back by simply telling him he was "boring" and subsequently blocked him on whatsapp. In a childish and angry response, he immediately blocked me back. Apparently, that's the worst thing I could've said, because it's stuck with him ever since.

I noticed the other day that he'd unblocked me on whatsapp, which made me curious to unblock him back to see if he had anything to say for himself. He did. He honestly couldn't have apologised or complimented me more, it was like grovelling over text. He was also still pretty upset that I called him boring - It seems I knew exactly what to say to dismantle his ego back when he was being a shit. Now he's hoping I'll give him a second chance by going out for a drink next week.

I feel like the cat that got the cream. It's fun and exciting to me to hold this much power. And I know I shouldn't, but I'm definitely curious to go out for that drink now. What do you think, should I fuck with this fuck boy a bit for my own satisfaction, amusement and ego?

Have you ever been in a similar situation? Share your stories here.

Dear Bambi, everybody is the same and have ego issues. Don't worry about this part and don't overthink it. Just give it time. This things grow and mature with you.
About the boy, if you want to go and have a drink with him, go with an open heart, if you are willing to give him a real second chance. Otherwise, if only for your "own satisfaction, amusement and ego", don't waste your time. You will end up feeling shitty. I've been in the same situation millions of times when I was younger, and I've learnt (the hard way) the golden rule.
Love,
Cupcake

I'm sorry. I think you should worry and do a lot of it. Starting with the need to hurt others or just boys in general. It isn't right to want to hurt others/boys and that isn't really an ego issue. It seems to me that you failed to realize he had a past and one he wasn't completely over. That doesn't mean he did or didn't really want you but he obviously still wants his past too. That's a tough spot to be in. You could stay and deal with it or move on and allow him to figure it out on his own. But you attacked him and insulted him for it. You intentionally hurt him because of it and intentionally want to do it again in the future. Just stay away from him. It seems you don't really care about him or want him so just go and don't look back. If you or anyone else interjects here that you do want him or love him and that's why you feel the way you do, I would repeat you wanted to and want to hurt him. Ask yourself why. Don't hurt others because it feels good to you. Boys and men do hurt. They do cut themselves, have eating disorders and other issues you can spawn in them just as they can with us like telling us we are fat triggering anorexia. Don't ruin them and turn them into a mess for the rest of us.

Do you think you have problems of self-esteem? I'm asking because generally when people feel worse about themselves, although they might not notice it, they tend to need the approval of others liking them and seek in a certain way attention to validate themselves.
Everyone has ego issues and likes to be in control. I'm a Gemini, too and when I feel vulnerable or when I don't know where things are heading I usually run because I get scared. When I know someone likes me, everything runs smoothly because I feel in charge and I'm aware of what's going on. So, maybe you do things this way because it's easy for you to deal with your relationships? Or maybe you actually like him but do these things to be sure about his feelings? 
Think of the true reason why you do these things even if it's hard- because this can be a protective instinct- but remember guys are people and get hurt. 
What I would recommend you, as I almost felt into this pattern in my past- is to be complete honest to yourself and others. If you like someone just go with the flow but if you do these things as an exciting game find someone who is willing to do it as well and knows things between you two are not serious and just for fun.

I do think I like him in a fun, unserious sense. We're both just very physically attracted to each other, there's definitely a lot of sexual chemistry there. I'd say it's sort of like a game in the way that it's exciting and unexpected to be happening like this. There's something really thrilling to me about it all.

He and I are definitely really similar kinds of people. We love our busy lives and just like to see where things go. All about the thrill of the chase and the great sex that follows. He's super cocky and has also got a huge ego - Bit of a bad boy to be totally honest! It's amusing, flattering even, when someone like that (slightly arrogant, vain, who never admits to being wrong) begs for a second chance.

I definitely don't intend to hurt him in any of this. It's more about going along with it and seeing what happens. He's a pretty unbreakable guy, and the most I could do is dent his ego and leave him with a hard-on...

Thanks for the advice. I feel like you're the only one who is really getting exactly where I'm coming from in all of this. Maybe I have a problem with my self-esteem, but I think everyone does to some extent. I was in a really controlling and abusive relationship for two years when I was 17. It's taken a long time to become the confident person I am today, and I guess I do still have on/off battles with my self-esteem from time to time. It's hard when you're that young with no control over your own life, but now I've learnt to enjoy being a young single woman, just out there to fulfill her own needs and have fun.

When something like that happens you usually build walls to protect yourself and lose self-esteem. When you're able to love yourself again, which is a long journey you still have downs from now and then. It's super normal. Also, because in a way you felt unworthy before, it's very flattering and exciting when someone likes you. I say this, because it happens to me sometimes, although I'm very happy being singe, too lol
If it's fun for you two just go with the flow and see what future brings. Maybe it's nothing serious, maybe you'll find that you are actually serious, who knows? If somehow one of you gets tired of the "chase" and all, talk seriously about what you have and feel for each other, so that you can be cool with each other. This, might be hard to you but sometimes the hardest things lead to amazing things. But right now, if none of you has a problem with what's going on, just enjoy the ride and have fun! :)

When I read your original post I thought to myself. . . you feel like you're the one winning the game because he's stroking your ego. However, this is typical manipulative behavior. He hurt you and now he is full on courting you again. This doesn't mean that he really feels the way he says he feels,  that he really feels guilty, but it could simply be a narcissist proving to himself that he can get you to come back to him again. The hard part of the game is really, who is playing who? Because a manipulative narcissist whose only goal is ultimately to stroke their own ego and their sense of power over you will first build you up before they once again leave you feeling like shit.

You're totally correct here. I'm not sure if this is the case, but you might be completely right. I had also considered it.
