He is the head of the flag football team. He is only a player on the softball team -Whitney is captain.

No one kicked me off the softball team, in fact, when everyone saw that I got my cast off, they were blowing up my phone asking when I was going to play again.

The thing is (and this is where I may be being over-dramatic), I don't even want to play on the softball team anymore because he is on it. I'm like, ok, so you want to be a d-bag, I'll take my talents elsewhere. They NEED me on that team.

Honestly, I think it has nothing to do with the team itself or you possibly injuring yourself. I think he stewed in his own juices a few days after you told him you only want to hang out with him in a group. Sounds like he's retaliating. After reading this, it almost sounds like he was trying to establish a FWB relationship with you, which is probably why he wants all this secrecy.

Is he the captain/coach or manager? If he's just another player on the team, he has no business dictating whether or not you should play.
I agree. His reaction to me saying we should only hang out in groups was probably not something he has heard before. Sorry, but I'm better than that. I'm not like these other girls he does this to.

When he was telling me all of this on the phone, I was super short and said "Its whatever. I don't care". He responds "I hope you don't care but I don't think that's true". What the heck does that even mean?!

One question, if you like the people on your softball team, why hurt them because of one douche?

You can not change the actions of others. The only control you have, is action over yourself.

He sounds like he was being a jerk when he said that and he's coming off a little too full of himself. He knew you liked him but he's not liking the idea that you saw through him. Good for you

I think you have it backwards. Finding another team is rational. What is over dramatic is caring so much about the motivations of some douchebag you don't even like.

Oh wait---DO you like him?

She did like him but I think after what happened she's completely turned off by him (I would be too)

I likED him for 5 minutes. Then I saw him for who he was - a self-centered, self-absorbed rude d-bag.

He goes on about being single but I want to tell him I see exactly why he is!! The ONLY person he cares about is himself and will only do what benefits him.

The problem is the MANY MANY girls that chase him are basically condoning his behavior and making it ok. I am not that person and I think he sees that.

I agree with this. In fact, a better plan for revenge would be to remain on the team and kick butt on the field.

There's no better revenge than a life well lived, or in this case, a game well played.

As for Jason, to hell with him. Avoid him, don't talk to him unless necessary, and definitely don't be alone with him or give him the opportunity to put you down. As my grandmother used to say, if you don't like someone, just stay away from them. Surely you've been on teams before where not every player got along? Just do your thing and don't worry about him.

Women are attracted to self confidence. Sounds like this man is. It also sounds like he expects women to fall all over him, and this helps his self confidence. When you said you just wanted to be group friends, that rocked his boat a little bit.

Thats why women chase after a man like that. And they always will, because there is a thin line between self confidence and being cocky.

I can tell you this, from reading your posts, you are cocky and self confident as well. That is a major turn off or turn on for some men. You state how good you perceive yourself on the field, but I never heard sweetness or MJ talking about how great they were, they just let everyone else do that, and let the play do the talking.

Sounds like y'all are both type A personalities, and two type A folks don't get along very well in a relationship, because you're always trying to one up the other person.

You're right. Some of my closest girlfriends are on this team and I know everyone really enjoys having me play. Finding another team was really an "in the moment" decision that was purely focused on being an "F you" to Jason. I wanted to say he was the reason I left so everyone would be mad.

To add, the girls don't know the back story to call this (since I was asked to lie) so I look like I'm just being over-dramatic .... and I don't like that
