Jeepers Creepers
Once A Creep Always A Creep
I’ve been in my hometown for about a month now and the word is out that I’m in town. Over the past few weeks I’ve gotten several “let’s link while you’re in town” texts. Mostly from blasts from the past to which I’ve been saying, hard pass.
Now let me take you down memory lane, circa 2018, I met this guy on my flight. We were seated next to each other in business class and he struck up a conversation before take off. We practically talked the whole flight. Once we landed we exchanged info and hung out a few times. He traveled a lot for work so we had dinner twice after that when he was in town. He worked in the entertainment industry so he liked to be on scene all the time so we often dined at spots where there were celebrities so he could show off.
During our last dinner, he was telling me about his latest project and how he was putting together this huge concert. I asked to see his projections for the concert and the numbers made sense so I said I wanted to invest as my payout would be pretty nice. Plus I’m a hustler and money talks so if I see an opportunity to make some coins I’m going to take it.
He was always very professional when it came to project updates. Then one day he just fell off the face of the earth. Now I’m like did I just get finessed?! Oh hell nah! I had already done my due diligence and asked around about him so I knew some of the people he worked with. If worse came to worse I would be able to make a few calls if needed. Weeks had passed and nothing, then all of a sudden he pops up and needed a favor. Typical J.A.N. behavior. I don’t do favors for J.A.N.’s, not to mention, until he cashed me out I was not interested in anything he had to say.
In addition to that, our connection took a turn when he told me he LOVED me after about 3 dates. Like how Sway?!? We never even had a deep conversation or sex. Whew, Chile. LOL. After that things got weird and I told him I wasn’t interested in him. I really just wanted to get cashed out so I could move on and block this man because we clearly have a stage 5 clinger. I repeat, 🗣 a stage 5 clinger. A few weeks later the concert happened and he cashed me out. After that, I blocked his number and blocked him on all my social media accounts cause he was stalking my IG like a creeper.
Fast forward to today, I get a text message from a number I don’t recognize asking if I am in town and inquiring about social media management services but no name or referral name was included so I didn’t respond. Then a day or 2 later I get a follow-up text and this time with a link to their website. I click the link and see that this is in fact the Stage 5 Clinger’s non-profit organization as I scroll through the about us page. Minutes later I get another text about how this is his new life’s work and he really wants to hire me to help manage his social media and asks me to come to his event. He then sends a few more texts, to which I never responded blocked the number and deleted the thread.
Now that I know his organization’s name I also see that I have a new follower on my IG and low and behold it’s his non-profit 🙄. So not only have I directly told you I am not interested in you, I completely stopped talking to you, blocked your number from calls and texts, and blocked you on all my socials. Yet STILL, you continue to try to reach out? Confusion.
Like why must guys be such creeps?! Leave me alone sir! *cues the Jeepers Creepers song*
