For context I have been messaging this person and sometimes I don’t reply quickly due to working or other things and this is what he says. Top message supposed to say ‘at messaging’ I’m guessing..I’m mid twenties and he is mid thirties.

I'd think it was an illiterate troll/scammer/sexual harasser and block it immediately.

Molly70 · 08/09/2023 01:18

I think it is pretty grim and it would put me right off him. He probably sees it as just lighthearted banter but he is infantilizing. He sounds quite juvenile and not in the least bit funny

Instant ick.

Topseyt123 · 08/09/2023 01:22

I'd think it must have been written by an illiterate thicko.

Blueeyedmale · 08/09/2023 01:27

Sounds quite needy smacks of I want all your attention and you should give it to me now that can also potentially lead to controlling behaviour there is also an aspect of immaturity to it also

Lorelielee · 08/09/2023 01:27

The opposite of “What a silver tongued charmer”

Yuck!
What are your thoughts OP?

blueshoes · 08/09/2023 01:34

Do you even need to ask?

YoureALizardHarry11 · 08/09/2023 01:35

He’s laying down his controlling expectations early while disguising it as a joke. He also comes across a bit thick, so it would put me off for that alone.

HeddaGarbled · 08/09/2023 01:35

Can’t spell, chases women 10 years younger than himself. Such a catch.

Trez1510 · 08/09/2023 01:38

He's your prince. Nab him quick before someone else does.

Ineedaholidaynowplease · 08/09/2023 01:40

Yeah the content is bad enough, but the spelling is instant ick

Namechange666 · 08/09/2023 01:40

Eww is all.

Scissor · 08/09/2023 01:45

Instant ick. Grim.

choberry · 08/09/2023 01:48

The double texting is an instant turnoff

blueshoes · 08/09/2023 01:54

“You’re going the right way for a smacked bottom”
“I hope so”

NeunundneunzigHorseBallonz · 08/09/2023 01:56

I would wonder why a five year old was texting me.

diditbark · 08/09/2023 01:58

Ick.

Aquamarine1029 · 08/09/2023 01:58

Aim higher. Seriously. Someone who can spell would be an upgrade.

Iheartlibrarians · 08/09/2023 01:59

No charm, no humour, no dictionary. Get rid.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nanaof1 · 08/09/2023 02:03

He is showing more 🚩🚩red flags 🚩🚩 than anyone could excuse. Throw that fish 🐡, back and try again. Don't settle for an idjit. 😬😱😩

Wheresmemum · 08/09/2023 02:06

He's a Slself absorbed arrogant git and very patronising, also eeewww 😖The previous laughing face emoji was for @Trez1510 "he's your prince nab him quick before someone else does" 😂
