Why does he remember everything I post

I have been talking to a man from out of state intermittently. I don’t take it seriously; the conversation is enjoyable, and we have a lot in common, but I don’t have high expectations for it.

I’ve noticed that he remembers everything I post on social media and brings it up. If we go a week or two without talking, he reminds me about my posts. For example, I posted a picture of my cousin's arm while we were out for dinner, and he mentioned that I go on dates. When I denied it, he responded, saying, “You were on a date last week; arm on your story.” I can hardly keep track of my own social media, so how does he remember everything I post?

I recently told him that I haven’t had a drink in months, and he responded, “You had drinks a few weeks ago; you posted it.” He seems to remember everything—every picture and every quote. I have watched so many movies on Tubi; maybe I’m overreacting since I haven’t even met him yet. However, if I decide to take a leap and see him, are these concerns valid?

The he started bringing up other women while I was on the phone with him

He’ll be like “I’m tired of stupid women, why is this girl texting me”.

“The restaurant you showed me, I know the girl that works there”

“On the plane they have barf bags, when I was on vacation with this girl she used one”

later that day he called me
update he called me later that night, I’m visiting his state soon cause I have a family reunion down there planned. He sent me some hotel suggestions, yet got soo upset when I wouldn’t tell him what hotel I’m staying out. He said well why are you being weird why won’t you tell me what room you’re staying out he was almost yelling. Then told me that I didn’t need to rent a car, that I could just drive his …..

I know this is all over the place but why is he acting like this ….. why does he care especially since he said he’s not looking for anything serious

jacqueline high? Screaming in laughter. I think that goes down in infamy along with 'trickle treat' and 'mind due'.

I am sure someone has explained to you there is no such saying as 'jacqueline high' by now, that the saying is Jekyll and Hyde https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Jekyll_and_Mr.Hyde(character) but it really tickled my funny bone. Sorry, no advice about your man, he sounds like he doesn't know what he wants so I'd quit seeing him, no one has time for or deserves to be messed around like that and he sounds a serious stalker and could become dangerous.

Oh no, get rid! He sounds crackers?

He sounds potentially dangerous.

Agree

Janelizzy · 18/08/2025 19:40

No I personally don’t think he’s obsessed, cause he can go days without initiating contact with me. I personally think he’s just playing games

Well please be careful. Its all part of the play with some. Stopping contact as they hope you wonder why and start chasing. He sounds very odd and unless there's a good reason not to, personally I would block him.

Janelizzy · 17/08/2025 21:35

He said he doesn’t care, and isn’t ready for anything serious right now. So why does he act like this ?

Because he’s controlling and weird. And frankly, a bit scary. Why aren’t you listening to the responses you’re getting?

PBandBanana · 19/08/2025 09:26

BLOCK AND MOVE ON FFS!

Talltreesbythelake · 19/08/2025 09:04

Why do you think he remembers? He could have your pages open on another screen. He might even keep a note of what you post. If he is doing this with a number of women that would make it easier for him to keep the details straight.

He sounds so creepy. I bet you don't know half of what he is really like. Ugh!

ThisMellowCat · 19/08/2025 08:56

Re family reunion, arrange to stay with family, if he knows any of the details of your arrival he will stalk the airport on day of arrival and follow you.
you have been silly but need to stop this now!
shut down all comms with him and advise the reunion has been cancelled as long as you haven’t given details, hopefully he hasn’t got your friends details off social media and friended them.
stop all communication just be nice about it and drop him graciously!

AgentJohnson · 19/08/2025 06:12

Either you are not the smartest, entertaining someone so creepy for so long or you are bored and liked the drama. Your question shouldn’t have been "why is like this" it should have been "why didn’t I block him sooner".

He is unstable and dangerous. Please block him on your phone and all social media. Stop this relationship now before it goes any further.

lotsofpatience · 19/08/2025 06:01

He's using AI.

StarCourt · 19/08/2025 03:58

does he look like this?

The strangest post I have read in a while.

It's not kind to laugh but Jacqueline High has made my evening.

Please block this man, cease all contact and be wary of he knows where you live. This is stalkerish behaviour. He is so hett up about everything you do because he can't let you go despite your lack of physical connection. It will start as a social media attraction and stalking g then when you give him more details it will escalate. Get out of this relationship fast.

MillieMinx · 18/08/2025 23:53

Why are you still in contact with this creep. He’s waving his red flags so take
notice and block him

Tuesdayschild50 · 18/08/2025 23:04

This is too weird for someone you have never met in the skin.
Using his car almost demanding the room info ... no way put yourself at risk here .

Because he's unstable. Read your post back, he's stalking your sm and trying to control you from afar. Block 🚫
