AIBU to think this is a bit odd??

So a year ago I met a man on a work related course, local to me but 4hrs travel for him. We got together and had a brief fling, a few months, obviously not seeing each other all that much because of the distance, with one weekend away (which is when I realised how incompatable we were and dumped him on return). We stayed friends/in contact because of the course. He met my DD's once, as a "friend".

Fast forward to this weekend. Another weekend course local to me. He messages asking if I fancy a meal out on the sat (ie tonight), I say we'll see, depends on childcare. I dont especially want to spend an evening with him, as I eventually found him boorish, arrogant and self absorbed, oh and tight....(and rubbish in bed)!

He messages me a few weeks ago to ask about dinner, and then drops in that actually his new girlfriend is coming with him for the weekend. Whew thinks I thats an easy out, as was thinking I would need to go out for dinner as he would be here by himself. I say no thats fine, probably be a bit awkward, enjoy with new GF, I'll see you on course.

So see him today, he again asks about dinner. I say no thanks, would be awkward, I wont have seen my DD's all weekend, DD1 has an sports competition tomorrow so will be nervous and would like to spend some time with her as I cant go tomorrow.
And he pushes all day, on and on, come on come out, will be nice to catch up, bring the DD's Hmm would love to see them again (WTF? he met them once!), at end of day I am rushing to go and get DD's, he walks out to car and carries on asking over and over, until I just rudely get in car and go.
He then texted me about 7 to see if I'd changed my mind.

Thats a bit weird no?? Or is my radar just completely buggered??

Weirdo! Bet there is no girlfriend. Delete and block him.

It's a bit odd yes, but probably only means he wants new GF to see him with kids to see what a good daddy he'd be?

macdoodle · 25/01/2014 20:45

Ugh I cant block him, need to keep in contact because of course, till end of the year.
He's just texted me to tell me about the wonderful restaurant they are at. Odder and odder.
Tried to steer clear and talk to other people today but he kept popping up!

yy, I bet the girlfriend is inflatable.

Weirdo. Ignore.

macdoodle · 25/01/2014 20:46

Hmm not so sure about the kids thing. He has a DD same age as my DD2 who he doesnt see (though does pay for), he was less than complimentary about his DD mother. Another reason why I didnt warm to him.

Sounds like you've been v clear, and he's pushing it.

Sometimes I feel awkward saying things like 'thanks for asking, but I wouldn't really feel comfortable' or 'that's kind of you, but I'd rather not', and end up saying things which sound 'nicer', like 'I'd love to, but I'm busy that night. What a shame', which encourages more offers later. But you've been clear and he's being rude.

Yanbu.

He's a top weirdo.

iggymama · 25/01/2014 22:45

Sounds like he was hoping for a threesome.

Lucky escape he sounds a right creep.
