Anthony Romero is the most selfish egocentric narcissistic I made the mistake of dating! I had never been so mistreated by someone in my life until I met this piece of trash. Rewind back a few years, it was May 2012 when I was introduced in Las Vegas to Anthony by a mutual friend with the same name who had recently moved to Las Vegas to attend UNLV. Anthony seemed to be physically my type with an "innocent" persona. I asked our mutual friend to hook us up. Weeks later he acquiesced and put us in touch with one another. We began texting and talking and had set up a first date for later that month.
I live near Los Angeles, almost a 4 hour drive. I drove to Las Vegas Saturday morning for our date that evening around 6 pm. I arrived in Las Vegas around noon and had lunch with our mutual friend. 3 o'clock nothing, 4 o'clock nothing, 5' oclock nothing and I'm getting concerned. 6 o'clock comes and goes, around 7:30 it was event I was stoodup. I called and text Anthony and NOTHING. I had planned to stay in Vegas the weekend but was so embarrassed I drove straight home, mad, sad, hurt and embarrassed the 4 hour drive home thinking "what kind of low rent scumbag does this?".
Approximately two weeks later I receive a text message from an unrecognizable number. I replied as anyone would "Who is this?". They replied "Anthony". I replied to F-off! Weeks later, another text which I once again asked "Who is this?". Anthony again. I asked "What do you want? GO away!" He began stating "I'm sorry and you seem like a nice guy blah blah blah". I ignored and deleted the message. August 2012 I receive another text, same dialogue. "You seem like such a nice guy, I feel bad, I wasn't fair to you, blah blah" Which Anthony then asks "What are you doing this weekend?" I explained it's too late, I am not interested besides I am heading to San Francisco with friends for the weekend.
Anthony asks "What about if I meet you in San Francisco and we can start over again?" I told him if he is willing to fly to San Francisco to meet me on his dime then yes I would give him another chance. Anthony meets us in San Francisco we picked him up at the airport and the weekend began. Anthony was sick with something the entire time but I didn't care, It was a great weekend and I forgot all about being stood up. When it was time a few days later to take him to the airport and us to leave I was saddened. Really wasn't certain if I would hear from him again. That day he began texting and from there for the next several months a relationship began.
I would drive to Las Vegas virtually every weekend the next couple of months to spend time with him and get to know one another, meanwhile I still had my guard up. I learned alot about him, like for instance his family (grandparents) call him Alvin. The weeks turned into a couple months and Anthony was still sick. We would spend the days and nights together from dinner to clubs to shows and getting to know him and his grandparents whom he lived at the time. Sometime in October I really began letting my guard down and actually felt like I loved this guy and could envision a future together. We had a few conversations about the future and I began to express how I actually felt and my feelings for him.
Soon after the months of chasing me to the point of capitulation in letting my guard down the phone calls became fewer, the messages shorter and the last two weekends were just strange, I felt unwanted after arriving in town and going to dinner. Anthony appeared checked out. I even asked him "do you want me here?". I had many phone conversations with his grandmother who I became closer to over the few months. She warned me to be careful with him and don't get hurt. Confused by her subliminal messages I called her one day and she outright told me he was cheating on me with one of his ex's "JJ". By this time I began getting sick with whatever Anthony appeared to have as we had similar symptoms.
The last trip to Las Vegas Anthony, myself and his grandmother went out for lunch, Anthony seemed almost oblivious to the fact I was at the lunch; all but ignoring me. I told his grandmother I was going to leave and drove four hours back home. I received days later a text from Anthony telling me I need to go to the doctor and get checked out. I drove to Las Vegas to confront him and discovered he was also sleeping with another ex Michael Tarnopol. I called Michael who denied it but once again, Anthony's grandmother confirmed. I bated Anthony into admitting it and he even sent me photos of the two of them in bed together. And began cursing me out on the phone.
It's been > 5 years, not ONE time has Anthony Romero now Anthony Gray reached out to me to #1 apologize for mistreating me, #2 apologize for tricking me, #3 apologize for cheating on me, #4 ask if I am sick or contracted anything from him. What pathetic scumbag treats another human being like this? Your grandparents must be beaming with pride on the way you turned out..............! All their money you have helped yourself to and you're worthless.... One day he's a teacher, the next a realtor, beware if you have the unfortunate fate of meeting him, take my story as an indication how he treats others! Las Vegas is full of trash, Anthony you found your level
