So, we spoke a few months back. His replies were awful. I had about one response a day. Then suddenly the other week he said “sorry I really enjoyed talking last summer. Shall we pick this back up and maybe talk now and get to know each other it’s a shame we never did” I said no I don’t think it’s a good idea. It didn’t work then and it won’t now.

He then sent me a voice note saying “ can’t hurt to try. I think you’re lovely and really nice. It’s just a shame we didn’t give it a go”

I said “let’s stop going in circles I said no. It didn’t work then and won’t work now” to which he replied again saying “me and you are so alike. This is what I mean we’re just in the same place. Even now going back and fourth” I just said “no. Enough now” he said “okay” then sent another voice note saying “no need to be rude about it”

What’s wrong with this individual please? It comes off as so desperate and he kept telling me to take it as a compliment???

You've posted about this before, I think?

Block him and move on not a difficult decision

Spagettifunctional · 03/12/2024 23:18

He had you as an option - now his other options didn’t work out he’s back

bin..next

You posted exactly the same thing before. It wasn’t clear why you’d given it a second thought back then, and it certainly isn’t clear now.

TwistedWonder · 03/12/2024 23:20

Why bother to respond at all? If you’re not interested, don’t engage - simple

Ace56 · 03/12/2024 23:20

Just block him.

healthybychristmas · 03/12/2024 23:21

He thinks you are playing hard to get and he is enjoying the chase. Just block him.

Blownupblowndown · 03/12/2024 23:28

Is his name Jon lol

FoxtonFoxton · 03/12/2024 23:30

Just block him and forget it. No need for conversations or disagreements. Utter waste of time.

It's breadcrumbing.

Gives you little bits to keep you on the backburner until he's finished with whoever else he's talking to.

It's now your turn to be his main interest and you're not playing the game, so he keeps trying to get you interested. If you do show an interest he'll repeat the pattern.

He doesn't respect you. So either ignore then block or tell him you're not interested and block. If you don't block, he'll be back.

Cos I had the exact same treatment from someone called Jon. What a waste of time that was!

Moresweetsplease · 07/12/2024 00:06

YANBU he’s clearly a massive red flag, aside from the fact it sounds like he has circled back to you as the others didn’t work out - the fact he is disregarding your opinions and agency in this manner shows what he’s like. And then the nerve to get all offended when you were firm?!

I’d block at this point in case he messages you again.

I had a guy do that to me too for months and he kept messaging me from new phone numbers after I’d blocked him!

Eventually told him I had a boyfriend, even though I didn’t at the time, and it was only then he immediately left me alone.

He had no respect for me as a woman, only respect for another man!
