Hi

I was speaking to a guy on the next round earlier who I usually speak too if I see him. He was with another guy who ended up asking for my number saying he’d take me out. He seemed nice. I gave him my number and he messaged me asking if I wanted him to come round to my house tonight to watch a film and take away. I didn’t fancy it because I don’t know him but he wouldn’t take no for an answer. Kept texting and pestering. I asked him what he was doing and he said ‘outside yours lol’. Not sure if he’s joking but would you be worried ?

"Well you're in for a cold night as I said no, night"

OldFan · 11/12/2022 00:40

Creepy!

Block and ignore.

QS90 · 11/12/2022 00:51

Sounds like he's trying to intimidate you, what a creepy bell end. I agree with the PP who suggested "I said no and it’s really weird you are outside my house. Not LOL." Then block him and get on with your life, he has no power over you.

In the unlikely event he persists, I'd report him to the police, but wouldn't have any more contact with him.

Sorry you are in this situation :-( x

NicLondon1 · 11/12/2022 01:03

Totally agree with the above!
I once blocked someone for making me feel afraid.
Why will men not understand that No means No? SUPER DODGY.
Can you imagine what he'd be like in a relationship? Stay well clear.

LBFseBrom · 11/12/2022 01:31

Just tell him, "No", and then don't answer him. I doubt he means any harm but he is being pushy which is just not on.

What does 'next round' mean?

pinheadlarry · 11/12/2022 01:59

How old is he? Sounds like what 12 year old do

Hohohoo · 11/12/2022 02:15

Hi sorry yes next road. The guy he was with I’ve seen too a few times in passing and he lives on the next road. He has just sent me lots of crying emojis because I ignored him!

Eek OP! Block for sure.

Sparkletastic · 11/12/2022 02:27

One last text 'go away and stop contacting me' then block him and stop him from thinking he's somehow in with a chance.

AndEverWhoKnew · 11/12/2022 02:29

Are you very young?
Just block him.

dolor · 11/12/2022 02:37

Block, and if he turns up invited them call the police.

Canuck48 · 11/12/2022 02:38

Tell him no and to leave you alone. What a weirdo and a bother. Absolutely under no certain terms do you make nice with him ever again. No saying hi, or waving or anything. If he is with the other chap tell the other chap he pestered and harassed you. End off. If need be and he shows up to your house again call the police!

Zanatdy · 11/12/2022 04:06

Wow no, you don’t try and push yourself onto someone like that, who would agree for someone they don’t know to come round to their house? Hope you’re ok OP

Don’t hesitate to call the police if you spot him outside. This isn’t normal behaviour. If he’s interested in you he should have arranged a convenient time to meet up in a public place for a coffee / drink.

GetThatHelmetOn · 11/12/2022 04:17

LOL makes it look as if you are enjoying the attention, any witty message would make him think you are teasing him if he is already considering funny to say he is outside your house. Just say “I’m not enjoying this conversation, please don’t contact me again” and block.

Lock the doors, but don’t hesitate to call the police if he insists or come to the house. Once you have said “do not contact me again” the police will consider a complaint valid but make sure you mention you have no relationship with this man and don’t know him, otherwise they will assume you are just a couple having a silly argument and ignore you.

This was before the persistent crying faces. Definitely ignore!

BakewellGin1 · 11/12/2022 07:00

If you don't want any more contact just block and ignore, lock doors and go to bed. It really is that simple.

Namechangedforthisonetoday · 11/12/2022 07:11

What an absolutely prick. Where do these men get off? Tell him to do one. Sneakily check out of a window and if he’s s hanging about, phone the police if you’re frightened. He sounds odd to say the least.

KendrickLamaze · 11/12/2022 07:22

I was going to ask "why are some men like this?" But then I thought that it probably does work the majority of the time because of the way they make us feel and how society tells us. We should react. This is disgusting behaviour from a grown man.

cherriegarcia · 11/12/2022 07:49

"I said no. I'd like you to leave me alone now please."

I actually wouldn't block him at this point because I'd be worrying that he would turn up at the door. Just keep repeating the above message to everything he sends, give it a day or two and then block when the messages stop.

If it escalates, call the police.

Jazz12 · 11/12/2022 07:50

He desperately wants sex. Twat. Tell him you are out with friends.

Monoprix · 11/12/2022 07:56

Creepy as fuck. Stubborn prick.
Next thing you know he will shatter your door with an axe, peeks through and announces ‘Here’s Johnny!’ with a creepy grin on his stupid face.

SaltedCaramelIcedLatte · 11/12/2022 08:06

He sounds desperate, needy and a bit creepy

I hope you managed to get some sleep

Pupinski · 11/12/2022 08:22

You are right to be concerned, and absolutely right not to go round to his place - always meet in a public place on a first date (and second and third...).

I'd text him and tell him that you're not interested in going out with him and would like him to please stop contacting you. Be clear but polite about it as you're likely to bump into him and you don't want any aggro.

Once you've told him to do contacting you, if he persists then it becomes harrassment and you can, if necessary, get the police involved.
