Long story short, I started talking to Matt. He seemed cool enough, so we wound up <strong>exchanging numbers</strong>.</p><p><strong><em>Big</em> mistake</strong>.</p><p>I wound up going out with Matt one time, and one time only. Because it was all I could take.</p><p>He spent literally the entire night giving me unsolicited advice on comedy and my career . . . which is really weird, because not only did I never ask him for any of it, but I also get a lot more work than he does. He was super<strong> condescending </strong>and only wanted to talk about &#8220;the business&#8221; and how I need to be less dry with my jokes. At first I thought maybe he was just <strong>nervous</strong>, so I<strong> cut him some slack</strong> and just tried to<strong> change the subject</strong> to something more neutral a few times (movies, favorite bands, etc.), but he kept bringing it back to <strong>how I need to do my job</strong>.</p><p>The kicker? &#8220;You need to learn how to host, otherwise you&#8217;re never going to get work.&#8221;</p><p>Really, sir? Take a seat.</p><p>Fast forward to a month later, when I got booked at the <strong>biggest comedy club</strong> in <strong>New York City</strong> and Matt was still busy telling everyone at open mic nights how much funnier he is than they are. He kept texting me asking why I wouldn&#8217;t hang out with him anymore.</p><p>Eventually I got annoyed, and I told him: &#8220;Because for as much <strong>advice</strong> as you dish out on comedy, you need twice  as much on <strong>dating</strong>.&#8221;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Has a guy ever been super condescending to you?

As superficial as it may sound, realizing that someone else thinks you look super hot can give you a little bit of a self-esteem boost. But then sometimes that whole situation just gets creepy and <strong>weird</strong> and actually makes you wish that person never looked at you to begin with. <strong>Guess what?</strong> This was one of those times.</p><p>Last week, I went out to a restaurant with <strong>my boyfriend</strong> and his friends. We were standing around waiting for our table to be ready when a guy walked past us. As he passed me (really, <em>really</em> close to me, by the way), he looked me up and down in a way that made me feel a little <strong>uncomfortable</strong>. When he looked up and saw my boyfriend standing next to me staring him down, he did something that didn&#8217;t even make me uncomfortable &#8211; it just annoyed the hell out of me.</p><p>As my boyfriend was glaring at him, the guy pointed at me and said, <strong>&#8220;Is this yours?&#8221;</strong> My boyfriend, totally confused, said, &#8220;Um&#8230; yeah?&#8221; And then the dude, super seriously, said, <strong>&#8220;Shake my hand, man.&#8221; </strong></p><p>UM. Was I supposed to be complimented by this or something? I mean, <em>&#8220;Is this yours?&#8221;</em> Am I wrong in thinking that that&#8217;s a pretty <strong>offensive</strong> thing to say about someone? The last time I checked, I wasn&#8217;t a jacket or a piece of furniture that could be <strong>claimed</strong>. I also wasn&#8217;t aware that my boyfriend owns me. I guess I kind of understand what this dude was trying to say, but he basically said it in the worst way possible. Sorry, dude, I&#8217;m not anyone&#8217;s&#8230; I&#8217;m my own person.</p><p><strong>Do you think this was an offensive thing to say or am I overreacting? Would you have taken that as a compliment? <a

It was one of those weird things where we weren&#8217;t officially boyfriend and girlfriend and had only been together a few weeks. I wasn&#8217;t even sure that we needed a break up convo, but I decided that it was the right thing to do.</p><p>So, I met up with him and told him that I didn&#8217;t think we were great as a couple, even though I thought the world of him. He responded by saying:</p><p><strong>&#8220;Look, you&#8217;re not going to be young for a lot longer.&#8221; </strong></p><p>What? Um, WHAT? First of all, I&#8217;m not THAT old. He was talking like I was pushing 60. And guess what? He was older than I am! Yeesh! And what did that even mean? Just because I wasn&#8217;t 12 years old I should settle?</p><p>Anyway, things got heated in the conversation and I wound up deciding to walk away. He yelled after me:</p><p><strong>&#8220;Let me know if you have anyone to set me up with. I guess I&#8217;m looking now!&#8221; </strong></p><p>This guy had just insulted my age (which was more weird than hurtful) and then expected me to set him up with a friend. What was going on in his head?</p><p><strong>Have you ever had a break up conversation go totally awry? Would you EVER set up an ex with one of your friends? <a

He was sweet, but also very, very honest &#8211; sometimes <strong>a little too honest</strong>. I quickly learned that if I didn&#8217;t want to hear the truth about some stuff, there were certain things I just couldn&#8217;t talk to him about. In fact, I got my first taste of what a <strong>backhanded compliment</strong> feels like from him, and I really didn&#8217;t enjoy it.</p><p>I had just planned a vacation to the beach with some of my friends and I was talking to him about it. Half joking around, I said, &#8220;I really need to get to the gym and start <strong>working out</strong> before I lay on the beach in my bikini all day.&#8221;</p><p>My guy shrugged and gave him an uncomfortable look. &#8220;Oh, come on,&#8221; he said. <strong>&#8220;You don&#8217;t need to lose <em>that</em> much weight.&#8221; </strong></p><p>I was literally speechless. I don&#8217;t need to lose <strong>THAT</strong> much weight?! Oh, thanks, dude. I didn&#8217;t realize you wanted me to lose any weight at all!</p><p>I was pretty hurt by the remark, and even <strong>more hurt</strong> when he quickly suggested we go to the gym later that afternoon. We didn&#8217;t last much longer.</p><p><strong>What do you think &#8211; did I overreact to being hurt by that comment? Would you have been upset if a boyfriend said that to you?

But the other day, I finally had to say something.</p><p>He asked me to go out on a date, and I replied, &#8220;Sorry, <strong>but I have a boyfriend</strong>, and you know that. So you know I can&#8217;t go out with you.&#8221;</p><p>His answer? &#8220;Hmm, okay. But let me ask you another question: <strong>are you faithful to him?&#8221;</strong></p><p>It was so creepy and I was totally offended! Um, doesn&#8217;t the fact that I&#8217;ve been with him for four years kind of imply that I&#8217;m faithful to him?

It&#8217;s not working at all, mostly because I&#8217;m not a jealous person, but also because he&#8217;s doing it in a really weird way.</p><p>First, he sent me a text with details on meeting up for a <strong>first date</strong> and then quickly wrote &#8220;Whoops! Wrong person. Sorry!&#8221; He has an iPhone. So, it&#8217;s almost impossible to misfire a text. And I wasn&#8217;t jealous at all. Going out on an awkward first date with a stranger is nothing I&#8217;d EVER be jealous about. I think first dates are the worst.</p><p>Then, he sent something <strong>really weird</strong>. He wrote me yesterday saying:</p><p><strong>I lost a bet and had to ask a girl at the beach to cover my back with ranch dressing instead of sunscreen. She totally did it. What do you think?</strong></p><p>Um, WTF? A stranger covering you in ranch dressing on a hot, sandy beach? Literally, I can think of nothing grosser. Not only did that not make me jealous, it made me wonder why I ever dated him in the first place. Gross. Gross. Gross.</p><p><strong> Ever tried to get an ex back? Or had one try to make you jealous?
