Why is bad sex guy still texting me?

A little while ago I had a thread about a guy I had sex with and it was awful. I felt quite dehumanised by it. He was oblivious and wanted us to meet again. I decided to tell him I wouldn't have sex with him but would meet for a cup of tea. He agree and we met in a café. I'm quite glad I did because it definitely confirmed for me that I wouldn't want any kind of relationship this guy, even notwithstanding the terrible sex. After the cafe, he walked me to my car and looked quite angry and upset and said he had been really (pulled an appalled ,upset face) when he got my text and said in a disbelieving voice 'was it really that bad!?'. I didn't want to say 'yes it bloody was' in a public street so instead paused and said ' I haven't liked how presumptuous you have been - just assuming that I would have sex with you.' (which is also true). We parted and I never expected to hear from him again. The next day I got a text saying he thought it would have been okay for us to have a just physical relationship but he thought that wasn't what I wanted so goodbye. I replied 'no problem, it clearly wasn't going anywhere'. End of I thought.
But on Chrismas Eve I got a text asking if I wanted to come over for a beer after the kids were in bed. I presumed he has sent this to me by mistake so replied to say so, he said ' no I thought maybe you would like a drink after the stress of Christmas. Sorry if it is a bad idea'. I replied to say I wouldn't be going. He apologised and said it was a crazy idea. Than last night I got an early text at New Year wishing me a Happy New Year.
I don't get it. What is he till texting me?

Just block him it’s not difficult

ElloBrian · 01/01/2020 14:05

He’s just trying it on with every girl in his phone book. Block him.

Butterymuffin · 01/01/2020 14:06

Probably a mass text he included you in to see if you were desperate enough to respond. You're not so ignore.

AhoyMrBeaver · 01/01/2020 14:08

I imagine you're his best chance of a shag at the moment, which is awfully embarrassing for him as you're clearly not at all interested. He has no sense of embarrassment.

GamechangerRanger · 01/01/2020 14:09

Maybe he's a bit thick? Easy just block.

MashedSpud · 01/01/2020 14:11

He wants some sex.

A lot of men do “net fishing” as in they throw the net out and are grateful for what they catch.

Block him. He’s crap at sex and you even met him again and didn’t like him.

everythingisopposite · 01/01/2020 14:12

Yeah, I guess I could block. I've never really done that before. Seems rude. But then I have never really needed to. Think if he asks me to see him again I will just politely say I think that is a bad idea and hope he takes the hint. Not that it is a hint, more a direct statement. I think his behaviour is a bit weird.

Why on earth do you keep replying? that’s a bit odd.

Just ignore or block

Butterymuffin · 01/01/2020 14:20

Just don't reply. You've said several times you're not interested, if he didn't get it then why would the fourth time make any difference? Silence says it all.

everythingisopposite · 01/01/2020 14:21

I guess just ignoring people seems rude to me. I think its better to resolve things with communication. Anyway, I replied once to let him know he had texted the wrong person (as I thought) which is a common decency I would give to anyone, and once to say I didn't want to see him. Which should have been enough for him, really.

ChristmasCarcass · 01/01/2020 14:22

I agree, it was a mass text. He’s grim.

Butterymuffin · 01/01/2020 14:24

Is he worried about being rude to you by continuing to ask for something you've said no to?

Also, how have your communications resolved this so far?

MashedSpud · 01/01/2020 14:25

With some men any response is a response and they take that as a positive because other women block them.

Don’t let him slowly wear you down or you’ll be stuck with him.

bottlenose301 · 01/01/2020 14:25

A mass text sounds gross but probably likely.

I agree , block and then he'll get the message.

2020BetterBeBetter · 01/01/2020 14:27

Yes, a mass text. Just ignore or block.

Sprinklemetinsel · 01/01/2020 14:40

You aren't resolving anything with communication. He isn't communicating. He's just fishing. Block him.

patchworkelephant123 · 01/01/2020 14:49

Stop replying

Inherdefence · 01/01/2020 14:57

Blocking him is not as rude as him giving you a booty call when you have made it clear you are not interested in him.

You think you are being polite by interacting with him. He seems to think you are playing hard to get. Block and move on.

Beamur · 01/01/2020 15:00

You're being unnecessarily polite.
Block him. Don't reply.

xsquared · 01/01/2020 15:02

He keeps texting because you respond and therefore keep the lines of communication open. Just block and ignore. He will have nothing to reply to then.

MuttsNutts · 01/01/2020 15:06

He keeps texting because you keep replying!

If you genuinely don’t want him to continue to contact you and can’t work it out for yourself, you either block him or simply don’t reply but I suspect you are enjoying the attention.

OmniversalsTapdancingTadpole · 01/01/2020 15:07

Have you blocked him yet op?

ComeTheFuck0nBridget · 01/01/2020 16:02

I don't understand why you don't just block and ignore him. He seems very odd. Why worry about being rude to someone you have no intention of ever seeing again.

You're posting on here to ask for advice but ignore the (pretty much unanimous) advice that you get.

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 01/01/2020 16:10

It's pretty much a given these days that if you don't wish to be contacted by someone, you block them. The fact that you haven't done so is probably all the fuel that his fire needs. He thinks you're just interested enough to keep the lines of communication open. Stop worrying about what he thinks of you and get him blocked!

Teensandfuture · 01/01/2020 16:14

OP you don't sound great yourself.

You don't like him, he was bad in bed, why are you keeping communicating with him and why do you feel the need to post threads about such a simple situation? Do yourself a favour and do him a favour, stop talking with him and about him.
Simple!
