So my hook up and I kept trying to, well you know, hook up but he kept canceling on me because something came up that he had to take care of. He's the one who initiates the hook up. Well anyways he apologized for being confusing lately (which idk what that really meant) but I just went along with it and said it was fine. & we planned to hook up that night too but something came up again so he canceled & so was like "yeh whatever you're just playing rn." His reaction stunned me though, he overreacted and was like "wtf no. & if that's what you think why should I bother trying anymore". Idk why he reacted the way he did and I went on telling him I didn't mean what I said it was kinda like a joke and I honestly thought he would understand since I put a bunch of emojis after it & we would usually joke around with each other like that. Well we had sex the next day but I still don't understand why he reacted that way & I didn't want to ask him since it would probably upset the both of us.

Because he thought you were being snarky and didn't believe him was the reason why he reacted like that

But at least you made up the next day so yeah I'd leave it alone

So? Being upset is not the worst thing in the world, and honestly, if you bring it up in a positive way there's no real need to be upset.

Just say something IN PERSON not via text like, "Hey, I'm really sorry if my joke came off wrong the other day. I was just disappointed that we couldn't get together. You can see why I might wonder after so many cancellations, but I'll take your word for it that you're being straight up with me."

Or however you would phrase it.

Why was he cancelling anyway? Lots of different things or the same thing? Life happens sometimes.

Soooo.....

after he canceled on you several times you finally hooked up with him and had sex. hmmmm

and he over-reacted and got ticked off about something you said and you don't want to ask him why because it'll upset him. hmmmm

But you expect US - strangers on the internet to figure him out? Really?

I have no idea what's going on with him. Most likely he's been hooking up elsewhere and he finally got together with you because it was convenient for him and you're always available even though he's not. That would be my guess.

My advice would be to not see him again and not take his calls. Drop him and MOVE ON.

Sometimes, I'm glad I will get to die within the next 20 years or less.

I have a different take on this. If he'd blown up excessively like that, I'd have passed on any further interaction. I certainly wouldn't have hooked up with him. You didn't know him well enough to know what was behind that blow-up; he could be very unpredictable and potentially violent. Or not. It's still a stranger you're dealing with, and opening yourself up to.

Or a person who is dishonest and trying to cover something up, often overreacts as well. They are only portraying how they think they would act if they were being honest. Yeah, pass.
