I’m an idiot

A couple of years ago I got chatting to a guy on holiday - we got on, had a few drinks and chatted on Facebook for a few more weeks. It was all quite low key and both youngish (mid 20s) and in different countries. I made a mental note to look him up if I went back there on hol and was still single etc. His last message to me was a bit intense (“Sarah Sarah sarahhhhh”) and I remember thinking hmm not really sure how to reply, so left it there.

im going back to his country soon, so added him on Instagram. He immediately accepted the request and asked to re-follow. I’m not too good at checking insta and left it a few days before I followed him back. Have since seen that he’s deleted his request, he just have left it up for a week and then deleted today 😢 im still following him, which he did accept and has left up.

I’m a massive overthinker and was trying to guess whether he was single etc etc so just didn’t check properly and left the follow request waiting. Planned to accept and then message him saying I would be in his area and did he have any recommendations.

have I fucked it? Am I overthinking way too much? Do I just leave it all here?

I don’t get it.

I also don’t understand why people assume he’s a player? Where are you getting that from?

Racism. You know, all ‘foreign’ blokes are out for a shag.

I’m confused why everyone thinks he’s creepy or a player.. he’s barely made any fucking contact 😂😂

I’d be pretty creeped out to get a ‘saraaaaah saraaah talk to meeeee’ message to be honest

Corrected it for you.

Good point. Those from other countries do tend to make MNers froth a bit more though.

I also don’t see how he’s creepy and the message with your name has no context - had you not replied to him for a while or something?

I don’t see anything wrong in sending him a message to say hi, why don’t you just do that and see what happens?

Smartsub · 18/05/2022 18:40

How is he creepy or love bombing? OP initiated all the contact?

If someone I'd met on holiday a long time ago added me, I'd accept, it's interesting to see what people are up to, that's what SM is for. He hasn't done anything else.

There does seem to be an awful lot of drama over it on OP's side though.
