Looks like he's planning on getting through lockdown by getting stoned while listening to his extensive Jazz collection.

Samtsirch · 04/04/2020 00:06

It looks like a wind up to me.
Are they having you on OP?

Weed and Xanax.

Yeah not making me worry. At all.

He sounds like a catch.

Notimeforaname · 04/04/2020 00:12

Well he won't die from a few spliffs and a xanax but it's definitely not too smart . I would guess this isn't a once off and he's used to it.... How long have you been goin out with him op?

MitziK · 04/04/2020 00:12

A block that size is enough to count as dealing. If he doesn't spin out first.

Is he trying to scare you? To make you rush over to him? Because if he's that sort of prick person, I'd be likely to call the police and ask them to do a welfare check on him on the grounds of the Xanax.

And tough shit if he gets done for the quantity.

And I'd block him. You don't need that level of headfuckery in your life.

Total wind up.
Let’s just say Bob Marley wouldn’t be wasting his time round that person’s house......

Notimeforaname · 04/04/2020 00:14

Bit silly to be goin out buying stuff on the street or 'off a mate' during these times. Assuming he doesn't have a prescription for the xanax.

starlightgazers · 04/04/2020 00:15

Why do you think you should be worrying about him? He's an adult, right?

Samtsirch · 04/04/2020 00:16

OP please don’t call anyone.
Try to wait it out till morning, don’t give him the reaction he wants and then you can laugh when you see what he comes up with next.

JasonPollack · 04/04/2020 00:17

If he took those four bars of Xanax with no tolerance he most certainly would die.

Is this loser 17? Is he bragging by sending you this? Bin him off fgs.

Ok. It's not a wind up. From me or him. I believe he's anxious and trying to find ways to deal with it.

I've not even bloody met the guy. Online dating. Coronavirus. So lots of chatting.

So yeah dating is off the cards. I'm too old for that shit. But as a person I'm worried about him so I just want to make sure he's ok.

He's planning on using this to stop being anxious? Hmm

That's why I said A xanax.. . Not a bar of it.

Oh god, yea just block him.

JasonPollack · 04/04/2020 00:21

Are you sure you're not being catfished by a teenager? What self respecting adult smokes brick weed and takes photos of fake Xanax?

Notimeforaname · 04/04/2020 00:22

And that's exactly what he wants. Trying to get a reaction/attention from a stranger.

RonnieBarkingMad · 04/04/2020 00:23

But as a person I'm worried about him so I just want to make sure he's ok.

Well, to be blunt, you can’t, because 1) you’ve never met him before and 2) you can’t travel to him even if you had due to corona. If he’s sending you pictures and/or videos and messages all you have the ability to do is respond. I personally wouldn’t even bother to do that. And Xanax and cheap weed, is he actually a suburban American Mom from a 90s film?

Weed. Doesn't look great either. Block him, stay away. Medicating like that is not a good sign.

MitziK · 04/04/2020 00:24

That's pretty ridiculous attention seeking behaviour then.

Treat like the standard Red flag waving some do to see whether their mark reacts or lets it go. He wants to make sure you're gullible OK with somebody spending a fuckton on multiple drugs and being stoned most the time.

And block him.

Notimeforaname · 04/04/2020 00:25

Honestly op, I'm sure you've enough to worry about during these strange enough times, without the added worry of an immature man child sending pictures like that.
And crying in the phone to someone he's never met... ..Thats what the samaritans are for.

starlightgazers · 04/04/2020 00:26

I believe he's anxious and trying to find ways to deal with it

Are you sure it's not the other way round though? Withdrawal/ craving for his drugs could have caused the anxiety and tearfulness.

He's being quite clever there - showing you he takes drugs and waiting for your reaction to it ( as well as spinning the 'I need them as I'm depressed etc line).

I'd honestly run a mile. You're not even in a relationship yet but the dynamics are already toxic - him doing poor me, and you being concerned and wanting to help/ comfort him.

Notimeforaname · 04/04/2020 00:26

If he even is a grown man.... Hmm
