This man spent a fortnight texting over and back , looking for a date and then just ghosted me one day.
I didn't mind too much but still thought.. ' you absolute fucker for wasting my time..'
That was six weeks ago .
He's literally just text.
Asking how my summer is going .
I responded by asking who is this ?
He replied with his name...
What shall I respond or should I respond at all . Cheeky fucker

No response is a response.

I'd block him 🙂

TyneTeas · 09/07/2023 23:44

Just ignore

EvilElsa · 09/07/2023 23:44

Don't answer. Or send a laughing emoji, block and move on.

OrderOfTheKookaburra · 09/07/2023 23:45

Yeah, the emoji and blocking. That's all you need.

Rockschooldropout · 09/07/2023 23:45

Say sorry that name doesn’t ring any bells then block

Rockschooldropout · 09/07/2023 23:47

Or the laughing emoji and block .. either will do but I certainly wouldn’t be getting into a dialogue with him

wineschmine · 09/07/2023 23:48

Ignore.

Don't block.

Don't let him think you care enough to block him.

Is it on WhatsApp? If so, if you've seen him reply from your notifications, don't even click into it, leave him on unread, waiting for the wee tick to turn blue

PTSDBarbiegirl · 09/07/2023 23:49

The power of ignoring & blocking will do the trick.

weathervane1 · 09/07/2023 23:50

Ask him to stop texting you as you need your phone to be free and available in case the tosser who hasn't texted you for six weeks decides to get in touch. (Sadly that probably works better for actual phone calls)

Natty13 · 09/07/2023 23:52

"You mean how am I right now? Or how have I been for the 6 weeks since you bothered your arse to ask?"

Seriously though, say nothing.

crazeekat · 09/07/2023 23:54

see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya

No, that's perfect.

He'll be left waiting g for you to open it then slowly realise you are too disinterested to even read it

Rockschooldropout · 10/07/2023 07:12

Perfect !

calmcoco · 10/07/2023 07:14

Yes that is the correct response.

Caroparo52 · 10/07/2023 16:27

Silence is so powerful
