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.

Depends on the relationship?!… friends/partners?? . Are you normally flirtatious and silly with texts to each other? Is he testing the water to see if you’re into him?

If it’s creepy for you though tell him so

Oh big ick

Need a hell of a lot more context, if it's a fella you've been on the verge of getting with it just sounds like he's trying to break the sex ice.. it was immature but then again you gotta try. If it's a supposed friend he's tryin it! Not an instant ick or infant, it's a fella tryin, maybe because he likes ya or something.
Tryna get some doesn't come with instructions

Well, the fella’s done an excellent job of proving that he’s a creep.

Catsmere · 13/09/2023 22:37

“Fella’s gotta try” oh yeah a man has to push for this sort of shit. As @EmpressaurusOfCats said, he’s proven he’s a creep who should be avoided, so I suppose that’s useful. What the hell sort of loser needs instructions not
to be a perverted sleaze?

God. I am so glad that I haven’t tried dating in over 20 years. I was considering getting on the bandwagon but if this is what men are like nowadays then I think I will buy a cat and settle down to spinsterhood and then dotage.

Never! 🤣

If you've never expressed any interest in him, it's creepy af and a little desperate/pathetic. He's PRAYING for the "well come smack it then" response. Some guys are so painfully bad at flirting...
