To think this "friendly guy" has crossed the line and I should tell his wife?

There's this guy in my running club he's shy in person but not so much on social media. He's married I know his wife. There have been a few red flags here and there but mostly I assumed he was just being friendly... Well he sent me this DM today:

"This is such an inspiring image you've come so far and will continue on your quest to achieve your goals ps I need to borrow your abs xx"

Ive already deleted him/blocked him but also thinking of telling his wife.

YANBU. The odd remark, fine. But to comment on everything, every time. It is weird. Probably entirely harmless, but a bit creepy.

JonSnowsWife · 27/10/2017 10:29

Yes bur you're not answering the question honestly OP. If his niceness 'creeped' you out that much after you blocked him. Why then refollow him, ans him you (anyone who blocks me can frankly fuck off) after you'd blocked him, with no conversation about why you blocked him and him just cheerily sending you a private message of his legs?

Most of us on here are not dinosaurs (okay perhaps I am) and are perfectly aware of how instagram works. Confused

This thread has given me a proper chuckle. All the drama out of very little.

NameChangeFamousFolk · 27/10/2017 11:31

Nothing happened. Nothing is happening. Nothing nothing nothing.

Glad you're able to 'get over it,' though OP.

Just read this thread and it’s started my weekend on a jolly note.

Roussette · 27/10/2017 12:29

I've given advice to people on FB groups so I don't find it that bizarre. After all we do love on the same town and attend the same running club

This may be a silly question.

Why did you start the thread in the first place then?

Do you do a lot of this sort of thing attention seeking that is

It has been a laugh though OP

BigFatGoalie · 27/10/2017 12:50

I call BS. 💩
Sorry MNHQ.

revolution909 · 27/10/2017 12:59

I thought he was creepy to start with, but after having a chat with him I kind of get his personality a bit better.

I'm sure your husband loves all the attention you're giving to this

SparklyMagpie · 27/10/2017 13:00

An I know I bowed out, but every update, if anyone seems creepy, it's you

SallyAnneMarie · 27/10/2017 13:02

Marvellous. So you can stop posting then can't you.

Maybe make start on your homework seeing as schools back next week.

Actually, most people have not called him a creep. Most people have said you are overreacting.
Some people are wedded to social media. Maybe he is one of them

NameChangeFamousFolk · 27/10/2017 13:31

but every update, if anyone seems creepy, it's you

Yep. I'm getting a touch of that as well.

Time to let this glorious thread die OP.

It's been...what has it been? 'About nothing'? Whatever.

Coconutspongexo · 27/10/2017 13:48

OP I feel like you're the one that may have a slightly obsessive crush on this man.

SparklyMagpie · 27/10/2017 15:30

I wouldn't bother anymore, she's only interested in hearing if this guy is obsessed with her

Count yourself lucky it's not his wife thinking about telling your husband

revolution909 · 27/10/2017 16:48

No I'm not obsessed ... Yes I blocked him for 8 hours, he did question why he had to follow me again I said I probably did something wrong and IG was too cool for me.

OP posts:
Coconutspongexo · 27/10/2017 16:52

Knowing you him for exactly 8 hours is obsessiveHmm
Kinda like a petty school girl

LazyDailyMailJournos · 27/10/2017 16:56

OK I give in -

Yes OP! He fancies you! He wants you! You! You! You! You should tell his wife! You should unfollow him! You should re-follow him! You should keep telling strangers on the internet!

Please do!

JonSnowsWife · 27/10/2017 17:07

Yes I blocked him for 8 hours, he did question why he had to follow me again I said I probably did something wrong and IG was too cool for me.

He'd have known he'd have been blocked.

That's a good point when someone blocks you on Instagram it says you have no posts but shows how many posts you have... story doesn't add up

NameChangeFamousFolk · 27/10/2017 18:13

story doesn't add up

You are shitting me! Grin

rightknockered · 27/10/2017 18:23

I might just pour myself a stiff drink.
He likes me, I hate him, I'm blocking him, I like him, I love his personality, I love him

Roussette · 27/10/2017 18:46

What is IG? this could be embarrassing, should I know?
