MOJO, WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK HIM WHAT HE MEANT BY FREAK?????
Because I knew what he meant by freak. He meant somebody who is hyper-sexual. What I probably really didn't like was that he implied that I would have dated a lot of men if I was single because I was a freak. It was like he was saying that being a freak will make you a slut. Of course, I am hyper-sensitive about the topic. Really, it wasn't that he was giving me a back-handed compliment but rather being defensive about his own "player" history. The reason he is defensive is because he tells me that he wants to be in a relationship with me but I act like I don't believe him because he has dated a bajillion women. Mostly the reason we got into an altercation over Valentine's Day is that he thinks that I am his girlfriend but I don't act like one. The reason he thinks I am his girlfriend is he pretty much did everything short of saying "Will you be my girlfriend?" to make the situation clear but I have issues that make it hard for me to pick up these signals that are not unrelated to the issues that made me think that men were just being nice to me when they were sexually hitting on me. Therefore, I behaved in a manner that apparently conveyed to him that "I wouldn't care if he had been hit by a car and was in the hospital." because "it is an impossibility that I will ever call him if he doesn't call me." Then he said "Happy Valentine's Day" and then I started crying.
