am i dramatic ???

i guess this could be considered an aita but i refuse to go on reddit so this is the next best thing.

so, long story not short, i have NOT had a good experience with dating. i'm a queer in the deep south (of usa!!) and was already presenting as a demi-boy in middle school. so ofc i dated a ton of curious girls, blah blah blah. lesson learned! i also just have shit taste in personalities apparently...

anyway, i was working with my mom in a family dollar (we work third party and are independent contractors so don't think casheirs) and i'm in work mode, right? i'm tired, i didn't put any effort into my appearance, and i've snorted more dust than a swingers couple from the 80s. so NO i am not expecting the decent looking cashier to come up and make small talk THEN ASK IF I WAS SINGLE!?!?!?? i've never had anyone do that 2 me !!!! (literally never)(i'm not joking)

i'm taken by surprise ofc and eventually end up giving him my number later on. (also for reference my hair is grown out, and i look more feminine than i used to!!) and we end up texting back and forth for a WEEK STRAIGHT, like it was constant!! i didn't get the chance to see him, since i lived like 45 minutes away.

mind you the whole time he's been calling me sweetie, hon, and just being super flirty and nice like you are to most people who's number you ask for. so color me surprised when i get 3 days of silence (i get being busy but cmon, it takes five seconds to type a "sorry i'm busy!!") then he like says we're just friends?? and i get not jumping straight to dating and all but it still kinda hurt?? like i don't want to be considered JUST a friend if you wanna date me in the first place.

so i make a pointed joke like haha you make it sound like i've been friend zoned and he DOUBLES DOWN??? saying it like it was my responsibility to drive down there (mind you i drive a gas guzzler and that shit is expensive!! i was not being paid when i worked with my mom!! just helping her pay bills!!!) and spend time with him. which rlly confused me bc like HE asked for MY number??? maybe it was just me but it TOTALLY rubbed me the wrong way.

i will admit i was kind of a douche for ghosting him, but i literally did not see any way to explain 2 him how i felt without him missing the point (also dude lowkey was not my type personality wise i mean who talks abt girls being gold diggers in like the first few texts??? like helllLLOOOO get with the program)

idk, most ppl i've asked have agreed w me but i still feel like maybe i'm just too dramatic??
