Aibu to feel the absolute RAGE with this Tinder date?

I met a guy for a date and really liked him.
We fell out. Because I left a card through his letterbox which he said endangered his vulnerable clients. Obviously i found this offensive and utterly ridiculous. I'm sure his postman violates his mailbox often!
He keeps messaging me to say 'thanks for the lovely book you sent me but I don't want to go out with you'
And other patronising shit .
I am full of RAGE.

Because he acts like I am sending him presents to win him back when he is obviously a vain plonker!!
And breathe

Eh?!

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 17/05/2019 00:18

I've got it.

OP met guy on Tinder. They had a date and message

ACPC · 17/05/2019 00:19

Are you sure it was a card? Could it have been a horse's head?

Shamelessly placemarking for an update.

FiddlesticksAkimbo · 17/05/2019 00:27

Incomprehensible babble. Try tomorrow when sober.

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 17/05/2019 00:27

Oh, bloody fat fingers.

Anyway Op met guy. They had a date and messaged back and forth a lot.

After a week, OP dropped a real-life message round to his physical address, in form of a card.

Tinder guy took exception to that and said it endangered his 'vulnerable clients'. (OP, I'm pretty sure that's code for, "my wife nearly opened it and read your saucy message". Just so you know.)

So then he had a row with OP about that. Now the thing they had is over, because he realised his wife would find out because it was too much, too soon.

However, someone else has been sending him gifts since then, and he assumed it was our OP. So he's been sending the OP patronising texts saying 'thanks for the gift, but no thanks to dating you again'.

So OP is very insulted that this bloke thinks she'd lower herself to trying to get him back.

But, we need to know what the card said.

CustardySergeant · 17/05/2019 00:33

How did the card endanger his clients?

TheFormidableMrsC · 17/05/2019 00:34

100% married

Motheroffeminists · 17/05/2019 00:34

Shamelessly awaiting clarification

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 17/05/2019 00:35

Was the card as confusing as your posts?

justarandomtricycle · 17/05/2019 00:39

I wonder if he is having to explain to his wife why he hid/destroyed the book ahe bought him.

Jemima232 · 17/05/2019 00:40

And it's another one for Classics, ladies.

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 17/05/2019 00:43

I think he is. Hope his wife works out the truth.

Coldandfrosty · 17/05/2019 00:45

Was the book THE RULES?

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 17/05/2019 00:51

What I want to know is whether the OP genuinely needed mumsnet to tell her that the guy is married and panicking that his wife will find out if the OP sends something else to his address.

U2HasTheEdge · 17/05/2019 00:52

How did you get his address OP?

If he is married he wouldn't give it to you. So you must have searched for it. No wonder he is scared.

WattdeEll · 17/05/2019 01:00

The spies are at it again. Using MN as a coded way to send a message each other.

007 is that you?

klendraa · 17/05/2019 01:06

I’d be shitscared Shock

QueenofPain · 17/05/2019 01:14

Did the card have Anthrax in it?

SpecterLitt · 17/05/2019 01:34

You make no sense..

Come back and try again without the RAGE. Until then we can assume you sent him a card to your upcoming wedding with him or a book you wrote about your first date with him, and he is now reasonably terrified.

Hmm
GoldenRule · 17/05/2019 01:40

This is hilarious and the OP is an advert for avoiding tinder !

Blablaa · 17/05/2019 01:46

Whenever the Sharon thing comes up I wonder why I can remember t-rexing in the supermarket but not the Sharon reference (completely misses point)

Tillygetsit · 17/05/2019 01:49

It's the vulnerable clients I feel sorry for.

Ifeelbloodyawful · 17/05/2019 02:07

NEED MORE INFORMATION!!!
