pounces like a wolf

it was a slow day at work which was suddenly interrupted by an IM...

oldest school friend: i was on *insert name of internet social network service* just now and guess what? *insert prick04's real name* has found a gf??
jo: hahahah!
jo: who is the poor unlucky girl?
oldest school friend: there's a photo. the 2 look quite cosy in the photo
oldest school friend: like jo, you're waaaay hotter!
jo: aww thanks

and 'coz i was really curious as to what she looked like, i went to take a look myself...

jo: does that place look familiar? hahahaha!
oldest school friend: yes!
oldest school friend: so obvious...
oldest school friend: that same place
jo: i know!!! that's my first thought
oldest school friend: doesn't he bring his girls anywhere else?
jo: apparently he doesn't know where else to bring his girls
jo: but i suppose at least he's gotten out of the dating ex-classmates pool hahaha!
jo: i think she looks like the naive sort... the kind who will be conned by a person like him
oldest school friend: i'm surprised. thought he would go for someone better looking
oldest school friend: and not to mention... she looks too innocent!
oldest school friend: i mean, i'm sure he would have pounced on her as well
jo: she's sweet. i think he would go for that
jo: after realising that the spunky girls will totally see through him

and this is certainly one spunky girl who has seen through him.

oldest school friend: but i think... the way he pounces... if she's the innocent type, she will be scared away?
jo: trust me he doesn't always just pounce
jo: okay lately it seems like he just pounces
oldest school friend: hahahaha!
jo: but previously it's a lil more build up
jo: so he can play the nice guy card for quite a while
jo: and you can be conned into thinking he is a nice guy
jo: but his true colours will always show
oldest school friend: what rubbish behavior. how terrible
jo: yeah well that's him
jo: and i can say that after a number of years of 'knowing' him

i was definitely one who was conned for years by him playing his nice guy card. i remember the certain amount of anguish i felt when i tried to reconcile what i saw as him being a nice guy and what i felt somehow that something wasn't right. he's truly a wolf in sheep's clothing. and i've never felt happier than the moment i finally ripped off the fake sheep wool and saw through him for the wolf he really is.

now he's someone else's problem.
