Behind the Mask of Kindness: 28 Shocking Tales of Manipulation by So-Called "Nice Guys"
He started texting me NON stop. At first it was all innocent, trying to get to know one another, but then he’d cross the line with inappropriate personal questions. I told him numerous times I had a boyfriend who attended a different college. My cousin kept inviting me over but I was busy with my new job, but he was persistent and offended when I was too busy. He started getting offended if I took too long to respond. Finally I had a free night and agreed to a board game night with him and his friends. I wasn’t old enough to drink yet but he had bought a special wine he wanted me to try.
I get there and meet his friends. We start getting Catan set up, have music going, and all is going well. Cousin goes into kitchen to get wine, and friend tries to be nice and starts conversation with me by asking how we met and how long we had been dating. I sputtered out that we weren’t dating, we were cousins.
His friends lost their s**t. They were laughing hysterically and told me that my cousin has been bragging about dating me for weeks, I would have been his first girlfriend. My cousin told his roommate (shared a bedroom) that he needed privacy tonight and had bought condoms. Cousin came out to see what the noise was about, his friends called him out, still laughing.
He got super angry and said that he thought we had a connection and no one would be that friendly or text each other so much if they weren’t dating. We had a special connection and no one understood him like I did. I responded along the lines of “dude, we are related!!!! You don’t date your cousin!!” And booked it. It was the most awkward situation I had ever been in.
I called my mom immediately and told her to talk to his mom about it. My mom called me back afterwards and reported that his mom was super embarrassed and assured me that her son would hear from her and if she had anything to do with it, he would never treat me or another woman with so much disrespect again. That’s the last I heard from him. I saw his mom a year ago, she gave me a family bar recipe, so she doesn’t seem resentful. All is well.
Tl:dr a cousin tried to seduce me via nice guy ways. I’m not even from Alabama.
I was sixteen, met him when I just started college (UK, so this is the normal age). Guy just started hanging out with my little friend group, and everyone just kind of assumed that someone else in the group knew him from school or something. No one did.
He was really skinny, taller than all of us, even the other guys. Wore the same black duster every day that smelled badly of BO, with thick Goth boots. Blond hair that was super greasy and long. He kept running one hand through it and pouting, or just holding his hand spread over his face after. An anime pose or something?
Started off normal enough. He just seemed a bit quirky, but we were cool with that. Then he started focusing on me more and more. If someone swore, he’d dramatically cover my ears and demand that they ‘have respect in the presence of a lady’. Weird as f***. We all kind of just laughed it off most of the time and tried to ignore this guys s**t. Then he started putting his arm around me, trying to ‘glomp’ me, kiss my check etc. I asked him not to touch me, but he kept ‘forgetting’. We would all be talking about some s**t totally unrelated and he would just say something like ‘god you look so cute in this light’ or just pretend I had something in my hair so he could touch it. I don’t like confrontation so I put up with it to an extent, but I tried to be quite clear that I want interested.
A dude I’d made friends with was chatting to me one day before our class. Creepy dude rocked up and immediately started trying on alpha s**t with him, trying to put his arm around me, size him up etc. I kept pulling away and asking him to stop, so my friend told the guy that he’s being a creep and to back off. Creepy dude accused him of trying to steal the affections of ‘his maiden’ (I wish I was joking).
I out right told him I wasn’t interested in a relationship with anyone, he just kind of brushed it off though. Kept talking about how he’d ‘win my hand’. [why?].
One day, I needed to go to the library to do a project of forgotten about. He saw me on my way and asked to join me. I said only if he was doing work too, because I couldn’t afford to be distracted (deadlines). He agreed. When we got there, he was immediately all up in my personal space, trying to lean over me, trap me between his arms/body and the bookshelf etc. I was polite, kept asking him to stop. But he kept doing it, and every time I stopped walking, he’d ‘accidentally’ bump into me again and put his hands on me to ‘catch’ me etc. I snapped a bit, and said if he didn’t stop, I was going to get him kicked out of the library. He apologised. I turned around. Then he leaned in and smelled my neck. Loudly. Then moaned.
I finally lost my s**t. Basically tore him a new one about boundaries and basically making me feel like an object. Told him that if he didn’t back the f*** off, I was going to go to the college about having him expelled for harassment. He said nothing. I got kicked out of the library for being loud.
