But what about Rebel Zebra?

by Thrill KillYou calling him out indicates that you're smarter than he originally assumed you were. I can't answer as to whether or not he's given up though, because I don't know that. It is a possibility though.
Most predators prefer to target the weak and vulnerable because they make for easier prey. Everybody talks about wanting a challenge, but in reality, the weakest target is always the best target.
Imagine a lion hunting the zebra. The lion never targets the strongest. He'll lay there in the bushes searching for the weakest target before making his attack.
Human predators are very similar to lions in that way. Of course, we don't normally hunt other humans for food, but the motive for the hunt is just as valuable to us.
Well thanks for your help. It's been enlightening. Guess I'll never know what his goals were with me. Now I wish I had played dumb longer, agh!
That's probably very true, Asha. You will probably never know... and you know what is so interesting to me about you saying this? You don't sound worried at all about this so called sociopath, if you regret not playing dumb long enough to find out.

Why would I be worried? If he was going to kill me he could have done so when I was on the other side of the country alone with him. He also has a lot to lose so I don't think he'd risk doing anything stupid to me, it would make no sense for him. He lives on the other side of the country from me, so I'd have to be worried he'd make a special trip just to get back at me when all I did was tell him I know the truth? He'd be really stupid to think he could do something to me right now and nobody would suspect it's him...He knows what I know about him (because he wanted me to feel safe and encouraged I research him) so it's not like I couldn't retaliate either. You should know better than to assume he's automatically dangerous. Come on now.
I honestly just wish I knew why he did what he did when he could probably have anybody. I wonder if he was planning on getting me super attached just to crush me, or wanted to add me to the pile of girls he calls on depending on where he travels. Or, if he wanted to use me as somebody to show off, which I don't think makes sense because he certainly wouldn't need to hunt anybody down for that when he could just go get one himself. I don't think he's dangerous, he's way too obsessed with his image and his success to risk anything like that. Mental games is all, I'm pretty sure. If I thought he was absolutely insane and might hurt me I probably wouldn't need to be asking these questions...
Simply being a sociopath doesn't frighten me. I just want to understand. I also don't want to be used or played even more, so I want to know what to expect and where he is coming from. I am not at all concerned that if I had played dumb a little longer something bad would have happened to me other than him trying to fuck with my head.
In other words: You want to know whether or not you were special somehow, to him? Ah, but you turned out to be just too good, didn't you? Such a clever girl that trumped this- smarter than anyone you've ever met-sociopath. LOL You are so transparent.

You should probably spend less time on the internet trying to act holier than thou with your lame attempts at playing mind games and psychoanalyzing strangers and more time brushing up on your reading comprehension skills. Oh, and if I was such a clever girl that trumped him I probably wouldn't have been tricked in the first place, riiigghhtt???
God, you're like an irritating little gnat. Seriously could you try ANY HARDER? Truly pathetic.
And with that, I'm out. Have a lovely night expressing your inner anger and self loathing via internet forums, lol.
I think you're still going to check this thread so I'm going to respond to the initial post. If I could see you in person I'd slap you for your own good but this will have to work. (I mean that in the nicest way possible.)
Your entire post reads like a chapter in a teenage drama where a smitten girl sees herself as "the one" that can deal with this outsider/asshole/vampire/misunderstood serial killer. If he truly is a sociopath, he's already won. How? By letting you think you're smarter than him. You saw through his meager attempts... that doesn't make you brilliant. It just makes you capable of using the internet and putting 2 and 2 together. Another way he's won is that you're even more interested now than you were initially. Did you blow it? Probably, but not for the reason you think. Now you're just too eager for him.
You are reacting so harshly to Silk because you know she's right. Stop being emotional and think logically. This could have gone a lot differently if he were a true sociopath. And for fucks sake get your head out of the clouds before you get yourself killed.
by AshaStarkillerThis is getting off topic.
Assuming he IS a sociopath, what would you say is going through his mind at being caught in his game and what should I expect next (keep in mind I was completely calm and not threatening about it)? Will he just disappear? Should I be worried about him being pissed about this? Or will he just be indifferent and move on to the next girl?
From my own experience with a man who was a sociopath (albeit, my experience was not quite so extreme as yours; I met this guy under relatively normal conditions) there will be no backlash or revenge, but DO expect some subtle but annoying attempts to get at you (especially if he can do so online).
