Simple exchange like "Hey, I am really sorry but my boyfriend's murder conviction was just overturned and he would not be a happy camper if he found us out. Plus, when he shot 13 holes in my old phone, it took me a while to replace it and get your texts. I hope you understand why I can't see you or talk to you any more."

His grammar skills are almost as bad as Adder's. He never had a chance.

I will admit that one of my first thoughts after he derailed was "thank god I have secured parking for my new car". Seems like a potential keyer. Just cowardly enough for property damage...

Without a doubt. Plus, if he gets famous, one day he'll skewer you on Letterman.

*I've never gone to her classes (she's good friends with a friend of mine who teaches yoga; we are just friendly acquaintances who happen to be facebook friends and occasionally keep up there), but randomly the other guy I'm dating right now also takes classes at the same yoga place and has taken some of her classes recently. They might have even been in a class together since I started seeing both of them... Happily I'm now only dating one of them.

Hell no. Then he never responds and the chain never gets funny enough to put on the interwebs and the world is a poorer place.

Or, he does respond, and it gets scary.

As already alluded to by others, yoga will never be a cure for his apparently pathological narcissism. ("I will not be ignored!") You dodged a bullet as you undoubtedly have already concluded.
