This Guy On Facebook

[GoGoDancer]

There's this guy on Facebook, I know him from years ago. He went out with a friend of mine, very briefly.

He messages me quite often for chit chat. Very pleasant and never inappropriate but it's a bit annoying. I don't mind it every now and again but it's a bit much, everyday.

How can I get him to stop with appearing rude, nasty or horrible?

Go into your messenger setting and find restrict

I don't understand your reluctance to just block him, you don't sound like you want any kind of relationship with him so what is the issue?
It really is the only way to stop him contacting you.

I had something similar with a friend’s ex husband. At first I’d reply then he started messaging me every few days, and I was concerned about offending him - god knows why, looking back. In the end, I blocked him. Remember to block him on Instagram and WhatsApp too because they’re linked.

@GoGoDancer go into messenger settings and put him on mute and delete the current conversation thread. You won't know he's messaged you. On FB set up your posts etc to friends except him and he won't see any more of your posts. Good luck.

Just block him, you don't need a reason, you've met him three times! You don't owe him anything, he's being a pest, stop being nice and compliant and own the fact it's making you uncomfortable be decisive, stop him from upsetting you by removing him from Facebook. Again, you owe him nothing, Facebook has eroded social boundaries in very weird ways, it allows people into our lives in quite a pernicious manner. So just block.
