Creepy man messaging me from 16 years ago

I briefly meet someone at university about 16 years ago, a young lad when I was walking home with my friends, I had worked in a shop near by where we both lived in student housing. I had one conversation at the time I dont even remember what about. Years later he found me and added on me on fb I barley remembered the interaction tbh but it wasn't remotely romantic.

Fast forward I'm married with dc and he randomly messages me inappropriate things. I've since removed him and block him messaging me but it's beyond weird he would message someone after one meeting. He seems abit unhinged. Looked at his profile he seems abit of loner not married or in a relationship,no kids etc. Thankfully he doesn't live locally but when did this behaviour become acceptable.

Why did you accept friend request in the first place? I would check all your privacy levels so he can’t see pics etc . If you have blocked him it should be okay from now on. What kind of things did he message you?!

I accepted his friend request in 2011. Stuff like I seem happily married which is a pity.

How he's thought about where I used to work when we went to university. The colour of my hair. I briefly spoke to him had a conversation at the time when he added me when it was facebook chat ( like msn) then haven't spoken to him since.

It isn't

Has his account been hacked maybe? What were the messages about?

AceofPentacles · 14/08/2023 05:47

Oh sorry I see you said above. That is creepy!

Personally I wouldn’t have chatted to him on messenger after the first message, would have ignored and blocked then. 2011 is a long time ago, why let it drag on and him be able to see all your private life? It’s a lesson learnt, don’t accept friend requests unless you really like the person!

Trixiefirecracker the first message wasn't bad in 2011 it was the couple after one a year ago which I ignored and this one recently. I didn't give him any thought. But its creepy to think he's been looking up photos of me. I've since removed him

You need to tell him to stop stalking you and block him, I have done the same

Has he message you recently, it's sound like this is something that happened years ago and your still thinking about it...

PrimalOwl10 · 14/08/2023 06:07

BBno4 he messaged today its been sporadic contact from him, he then messaged last year roughly the same time which I ignored. I haven't spoken to him since 2011!

Honestly think it’s weird you would meet him once and then accept him as a friend. If he messaged today then you have only just blocked him?

Change your settings to friends of friends only. That way internet random can leave you be.
