Nice guy in hospital turned weird

When my dad was in hospital really poorly a guy next to my dad was really kind and friendly with my dad, my dad got discharged and swapped numbers with this gentleman. He’s in his 60s
Well he’s texting my dad saying he fancies me
And can he take me out and he’s literally acting obsessed with me.
Sounds awful but would you block him? Or is that mean? Thanks

You made a mistake in your title because you wrote he is nice, don’t think this for a second. Of course it is fine to block him.

Ugh, block him without a second thought.

He made out he had no kids and was really poorly and he admired me for going to see my dad all day everyday. Now he’s just bloody creepy :(

He probably thinks he has found his retirement plan YOU / Nurse with a purse.

Men are disgusting, self centered creatures.

I’m surprised you even have to ask us.
He’s some random creepy bloke!

Just block him or make sure your dad blocks him before it begins to encroach on other areas of your life.

Wearing my cautious hat …
Stalking potential? Be careful .

Seriously why do you even have to ask? It’s surely blindingly obvious you block him.

How creepy! Absolutely block

UltraAlox5 · 03/03/2026 13:59

Block! Sounds like he tricked your dad to get your details 😬

SilenceInside · 03/03/2026 13:58

Just block. It’s not awful or mean, at all. It’s a very reasonable response to inappropriate behaviour.

TomatoSandwiches · 03/03/2026 13:58

Block
