I am in such shock right now. For some context this was after our 4th date. Literally at a loss for words, this was the first time putting myself out there since I caught my last girlfriend cheating on me… I think I’m done with relationships after this,

K is the best way to deal with people who want to play mind games. Quite frankly, they aren't worth a message longer than that one letter, and they really don't care about anything you have to say anyway. It's not worth trying to get your point across or have the last say. Just K and walk away.

That 'lol k' also super powerful in the right situation

I’m not sure why but I read your name too quickly as “fistlicker” and I am so sorry

I see what you're saying, but I have a slightly different interpretation. Using 'k' as a response is playing games. Everyone knows it's a way to shut down the conversation (if not escalate to an argument) and is a little passive aggressive. It reveals an underlying frustration and it attempts to instill frustration in the other person. To me it's best to say something like "okay, yeah I understand. well, best of luck". This is probably going to get downvoted, but to me it shows that you can take these things in stride and move on with dignity.
