Hello, looking for advice.

I went to the pub the other day as I my was my child free night. I was sat at the bar a lot just talking to the people working there. Not flirting or nothing!! However the guy who worked there brought me to drinks I did say no but he insisted. He added me on Facebook but so did the other people that work there, I really didn’t think anything of it as there was nothing to think. However the guy who got me the drinks lives on my street so he walked back that way with me.

He the later proceeded to text me saying “I can’t believe your single, absolutely beautiful” and then carried on messaging. I was hardly replying back and the next day I said I’m really hungover and he was saying “awhhh maybe I should come and cuddle you” I ignored this and he messaged saying “you missed out on your cuddle”
However my phone was charging lastnight and I didn’t check it for a while and he sent a message saying he’s left a bottle of wine outside mine for me (he did). So I was saying please you really don’t need to do that and he was like next time it will be flowers. I have told him no and then he said well maybe a date… I have said I’m not looking for anyone as I have not long came out of a relationship etc. He’s telling me I’m worth the wait etc and it is making me feel uncomfortable. He don’t even know my age or anything really about me.

Just looking for opinions on this situation…. It is very weird isn’t it?? It was the wine part what freaked me out a little bit… there’s being nice and then there’s being to nice.

Be really clear: "I dont want a date with you".

I’m saying you could try to be more straightforward and assertive in future, but yes carry on blocking

From his point of view (since maybe that’s what you’re looking for) you’ve left it right to the last minute in this story to indicate you aren’t interested, and even then I think you’ve been a bit vague.
You’ve said “you’re not looking for anyone” which could mean you’d be happy if someone suitable came along (and in his mind that could be him).
Why didn’t you instead say “I don’t want a date with you, I’m not interested in dating”

Block

That's so weird and pushy. I think you need to send one message making it clear you don't want any more contact and then block him. So strange.

TheUsualChaos · 08/09/2023 09:09

Too pushy. Keep ignoring.

SurelyBassey · 08/09/2023 09:08

Tell him to get fucked and block him
Bloody weird behaviour

CrunchyCarrot · 08/09/2023 09:08

Yes it's way too much too quickly. Agree with PP, stress you are not interested and then block. Hopefully that will be the end of it.

Gottoloveatakeaway · 08/09/2023 09:06

Yep, it's weird. I'd tell him you're not interested and then block him
