Somebody I know from school has been in touch with me on Facebook. Seen him around every so often as we still live in the same place

He messaged me on Facebook the other day asking to catch up. I replied and was polite but then he started telling me he has split from his partner and giving personal details about the break up. I said sorry to hear that

but since then he keeps messaging me saying he’s lonely and doesn’t like sleeping alone, needs somebody to talk too and ringing me quite late at night on Facebook messenger. I’m not interested in that way and stopped responding but he keeps messaging still saying ‘you’re not very talkative’ etc and then ringing again a few times.

I have a young daughter and I don’t want to get chatting to somebody, especially one who has just had a nasty breakup. What would you do? Just not sure what to say to him

I'd stop replying, not answer any calls, and if he still doesn't get the hint I'd block. Life's too short for emotional vampires throwing themselves at you in the hope of a pity fuck.

Block his number and unfriend him

Immediate block

Block him. You don't owe him your companionship.

Is this for real? You’re a grown woman being harassed by a random perv and you’re trying to figure out “what to say to him”. Block and delete like any sane person would have done immediately.

Say you are not looking for a relationship or to renew his acquaintance so please don't contact you again. Then block him.

LemonLion · 23/03/2023 17:25

Block, pronto.

Cherrysoup · 23/03/2023 17:28

Easy, block.

MadeForThis · 23/03/2023 17:34

Block him. He is pestering you and clearly after some attention and probably sex.

PurpleParrots · 23/03/2023 17:47

It’s one thing an old friend getting in touch for a catch up. The case you are describing is way OTT. I’d block him

Carlycat · 23/03/2023 18:42

Block 🚩

Fluffodils · 23/03/2023 20:02

Not sure why you need to ask. Just block him

Pseudonamed · 23/03/2023 20:27

He contacted you looking to get his leg over. Just block him and be done with it. Some men are creeps.
