In Jack's monologue, and I'm so sensitive (I hate it), he didn't give me any of those projections

After shit testing him several times I finally got him angry/frustrated, he stopped the rehearsed lines and called me out for having a control issue and having to be the one to pick

Then after I rejected him again, he followed me out of the club, he didn't give up

During that time I was annoyed with Nick

"You didn't get a boyfriend so something is wrong with you"

Which is what the asshole wanted everyone to think

And he seemed frustrated I wasn't getting a boyfriend

--> annoying

Why couldn't I be like Katie or Dorian? No one was pressuring her to get a boyfriend. No one was pressuring Dorian to get a girlfriend

I had spent time, in high school, in Washington State where I felt the projections and judgments from others because of my accent

I didn't know about different accents throughout England, but I had watched My Fair Lady and picked up on Jack's posh English accent

He was always soft-spoken. He did not have a cockney accent

I never spent time around him, year 2, when he moved in

I didn't know him

comes with these types of guys who have I'm the prize

It's hard to articulate

One guy giving dating advice said that when in a long-term relationship? Even in the ugliest fights with his girlfriend he turns into her and reassures her he loves her

I don't know where I'm going with this

I don't think Jack and Ramon were close year 3

I'd have to look back at the date of that picture

He didn't have I'm the Prize or conditional decency

there was a girl writing on reddit, saying she liked the "HOT" guys and she landed a boyfriend who was HOT (over 6 ft, good looker, fit) with the career and she broke up with him because he gave her the silent treatment after she said something he apparently didn't like

it's hard to describe or articulate -- I think conditional decency is one of the things that

He has so much career status, who knows, he may have deleted his Linkedin

I remember his last name

A million Jacks in London

Seduction strategies

Jack used The Charmer on me, that night on 6th street

Rehearsed lines. Like he had memorized a monologue to use on me

He politely left when he woke up

I knew I was moving out

but flattered by the attention and overall it was a positive exchange, if very brief, very short

...

I can't find him anymore

He does have more career status than the new broker and I wasn't completely surprised to see that, when I found him years ago (maybe 2020ish)

Clearly, this guy comes from a family with connections

To sleep with someone or feel comfortable with them sleeping in your space?

It's sometimes more intimate than sex

You're vulnerable when you're sleeping

He didn't leave when I turned him down, he suggested we sleep together

I waited until he fell asleep, paying attention to his breathing and left for the 24/7 coffee shop after he fell asleep

I wasn't mad at him

He wasn't going to let me friendzone him and quickly escalated

I liked him too much to hook up with him, first night, and then later see him move on

Gut feelings

The only guys I let sleep in my room?

1) Ben

2) Nick

3) Austin

4) Jack

That's it

I had sex with none of them

He would remember me

This is what girls who put out quickly, wanting validation from guys don't get

The way to get a guy to remember you is to *not* have sex with them

I wasn't trying to be a coquette with him

I went back into my naive mode with guys, and was excited about how into me he seemed and invited him to watch a movie in my room and meant it
