that's the one thing I didn't try, but inviting to anything became difficult. I was actually planning to do that the last time we were hanging out together, and almost got there, but then we broke off again once I lost my temper at his constant rudeness and bullying for two hours in a row

good advice though. guess I gave up too soon
