Help me understand this man’s behaviour?!

Met up with a man from tinder (we’d talked for a while before that, text and phone calls), the date was good but no spark and I felt that feeling was mutual and we didn’t have a second date but still text and called each other. Could easily talk for an hour together. I liked him but as a friend.

I suffered the loss of a family member just before covid and he’d lost his dad quite a few years ago. I was really low one night and I called him as thought he’d know what I was going through. He cancelled the call so I text to ask to speak to him when he was free, said I was really low. He said no my girlfriend wouldn’t like that and blocked me.

Firstly I didn’t know he now had a girlfriend and if out of respect he didn’t want to talk then I understand - I just felt he could have been kinder.

Moved on with my life. A year later he text me saying how are you? I ignored. He text again to say I was rude. Then blocked me.

Now he’s text again (clearly unblocked me) saying things like “I took your advice” (no idea what’s advice I ever gave him) and then saying he knows I’m reading the messages and then I’m rude for not responding.

He’s just messaged now saying “is this (my name) from (my city) - on WhatsApp where it’s clearly my display photo so he knows the number isn’t being used by someone else.

I’m so confused. I think he’s likely broken up with his girlfriend but he didn’t show interest in me before her anyway. Also don’t think he was with her when we met up as he clearly had no issue telling me he had a girlfriend so didn’t try and hide it. I don’t get why he keeps trying to bait me into talking to him.

I don't know but he sounds very erratic. I would keep him blocked.

PeopleBaffleMe13 · 20/06/2022 21:17

Block.

Mandodari · 20/06/2022 21:19

Block him straight away.

redbigbananafeet · 20/06/2022 21:19

He's bored and what's a friend/shag. Block him.

Tandora · 20/06/2022 21:21

He’s horrible and he’s harrassing you. Clearly he was never interested in friendship just wants a girl to chat to when he’s single and bored. Block him.

Rainbowqueeen · 20/06/2022 21:22

He’s trying everyone in his contact list to get a shag.
Block.

He cares nothing about you as a person

ILoveAGoodProsecco · 20/06/2022 21:23

He's bored

Fluffymule · 20/06/2022 21:24

Block him.

Don't waste any more of your time or energy thinking about him or trying to understand his behaviour. He is not worth a second of further attention.

Seriously, just block him.

WishILivedInThrushGreen · 20/06/2022 21:28

Yep... block him and don't engage.

There's something of the night about him.

Littleraindrop15 · 20/06/2022 21:30

that's so weird block him giving me creep vibes

He’s rude, erratic and game playing. Do not engage. Block him and move on. Don’t enjoy the attention.
