Please report back

Partner away today and messaging began at 9am.
I have not responded and won't .
Next set of messages this afternoon. Again, no response from me so has started to send messages to group.
Predictable.
No inappropriate messages but needless ones. His Partmer could not accuse him of doing anything wrong if she were to see them. Clever man.
I read here about' the hook'. The idea of sending messages to hook one back in to conversation.
Seems he is following the script.
I am not biting.

Good. Can you block him?

LJenn · 25/03/2020 19:01

The implication being made here that somehow you're enjoying his attention it is ridiculous. Not everyone likes being constantly flirted with/harassed, whatever you want to call it. I was getting private messages YEARS ago from a guy who was single. I was NOT though, I was engaged. When the messages got flirty I corrected him IMMEDIATELY and told him it was inappropriate and disrespectful to me and my partner and please just knock it off. He said it was a joke and apologised.. but then kept it up. I ended up blocking him.

Chances are he's a creep. But if he managed to successfully seduce Ygritte the first time, to the point where she was 'mad about him', it's not a totally illogical step to wonder if he's attempting to do the same again (or indeed if this is how he did it last time)

What are you on about? You appear to be mixing up two separate posters here. You realise I am not the OP don't you? You seem a bit fixated on on the "mad about him" quote too, that's the second time you have quoted me saying that. What's your issue with it? Serious question. No one ever said it about you? Is that the problem? Grin

Stop trying to shame me and make excuses for men's shitty behaviour. The OP is talking about an experience she is currently having, why have you used it as an excuse to mention and quote me again? Speak to her about her situation. Finding your input rather odd tbh.

I'm completely confused.

OP posts:
YgritteSnow · 26/03/2020 10:18

 😁 are you a man by any chance @AngryTruckDriver?

YgritteSnow · 26/03/2020 10:21

I'm not being combative by the way. I do find your repeated quoting of me a bit weird. It really seems to have ground your gears for some reason and I can't work out why? It's a bit obsessive, especially since you've just done it for the third time...

I mentioned that to give context to this not just being some creepy, grubby guy trying his luck but to show he was someone I once cared about and had a good relationship with. Does that help you to process it a bit?

hidethoselyingeyes · 26/03/2020 10:25

Did you have similar experiences to
Me @YgritteSnow ? How did it work out?

Greybutterfly · 26/03/2020 10:38

You say this is a male friend so I am guessing you know his partner. You are receiving +60 messages a day either you are responding to these messages or this is verging on harassment.

If you believe that these messages are inappropriate then why haven’t you said that they need to stop or you will tell his partner.

hidethoselyingeyes · 26/03/2020 11:01

I haven't met her. I did ask him to stop before but he started up again.
I don't feel harassed. I feeel like I am a person that he contacts when she is not around, when he wants an ego boost or is bored especially now as he is wfh.
