There's this guy who I know from about 20 years ago, he went out with my friend for a very short time and she dumped him.
He was nice bloke ( too nice for my friend ) and I always got on well with him, only ever as friends. Although if I'm honest I didn't see him that much or know him well at all ( he lived far away )
He added me on Facebook a few years ago and messaged me to see how I am and all that jazz. He has a partner and two kids, I'm married with children too. The messages got bit too much for me, they were constant but never inappropriate, always friendly, he's genuinely a nice bloke.
But I had to go off the radar and stopped messaging/ignored him as I really didn't have that much to say to him daily, all day long.
He messaged me out of the blue again a few months ago, I replied, same sort of chit chat, and now we've fallen into the same pattern again.
If I don't reply for a while and I've changed my profile picture, he'll like it then message me again, as if he's knows I'm online and available.
I feel a bit trapped in this again, any advice welcome, I'm not really sure what I'm asking to be honest and I don't want to hurt feelings.
