I had one date around a year ago with someone who is part of my wider friendship group. I bump into him once or twice a year. I didn't enjoy the date, he asked me to do him a favour (not sexual!) and when I declined he tried to make me feel bad. I turned down the offer of a second date. We are friends on FB and occasionally like/comment on each others posts. I spoke to him at Christmas and he was rude about my choice of radio station and the music I listen to so I excused myself from the conversation.
Last night he messaged to ask how I was. I replied 'Good thanks. You?' to which he replied 'You're quite annoying though. I'm just saying'. I didn't respond.
This morning he has followed that up with 'Only because...' and then 20 mins later 'Youre so fanciable'.
I'm going to call him out on this and ask him not to contact me again. I'm inclined to call it negging in my message but I want to make sure that's correct as I don't want to undermine my argument. So, is it negging?
I've looked it up and I'm still not sure.
