Me 24 have been talking to this man 28 for about 4weeks now. We met online, he wasn't initially my type, but he was applying pressure and it caught my interest. I met him on hinge he seemed genuine, we live two hours away from each other but he seemed not to mind that. Never met each other we have ft several of times

The first couple weeks we were talking he tried to come and see me for the weekend and rent a room. I was busy both weekends, he ended up going on vacation and was calling me while he was there buying me souvenirs texting me etc, just being very consistent. He came back from vacation and that kinda died down? He only was texting me and stoped calling. He tried to come down the weekend he got back to being me my gifts and take me on a date. I was going to let him, but I really thought about how I knew he would be expecting intimacy from me sense he's renting a room. He didn't directly say that but I already knew. So I just agreed on coming out where he lives that next weekend since me and my family already agreed on going out there during that time.

Make a long story short he was texting me counting down the days to see me, just for me to get out there and him be a slow texter, he sent me the details on our date planned, then right after he said that he had to go into work do to the pipes flooding, how he's on standby for his job and it was an emergency how he couldn't make it .... kept texting me saying he apologizes promising me that he would make it up on Saturday once I got back to my city. I got there on Thursday morning and left Friday afternoon, he kept begging me to just stay the weekend and if I did he would drive me home etc. I declined because I had work on that Saturday. He said he would just come out to see me this weekends to make it up. Kept telling me how he wants to be in my life etc. said he'll just prove it to me. This was all yesterday

Anyways the day has come when he was supposed to drive out here and I haven't heard anything from him at all today I feel soo stupid, was this a game to him ?

this was all last week/weekend

Just block him and move on.

WhyamIinahandcartandwherearewegoing · 17/06/2025 11:53

I would have blocked him for the shite patter for starters.

CalicoPusscat · 17/06/2025 11:56

I'd be gagging at receiving messages like that! It would be "speak English, dammit"

What? Do you think there aren't romance scammers in America?

What does it matter anyway? You've blocked him so what's the problem?

Is this faux naive? Let's pretend there aren't certain countries that major in certain crimes?

Hope this helps

He 'works for the city'. What does that mean? Is he Batman?

He hasn't invested any energy in anything other than pissing you about.

You've blocked him for a reason - stick with your instincts.

Queen and Princess?? 🤢. Block!

So? Do you actually think the content of the messages between you is at all normal? This is a stranger. Look at how you’re speaking to each other (or at least how he is speaking to you.) Someone you’ve never met.

You’re young. Listen to the people who’ve been around the dating world for a lot longer than you; this is massive red flag territory. The guy is a creep/psycho/love bomber. This isn’t normal.

Don’t talk to him again. Move on to the next person and match with someone who lives in your area.

Nanatobethatsme46 · 18/06/2025 20:13

Queen?princess? The way he talks he sounds like one of those african ( or any foreign country) scammers that are trying to sound genuine when they ask to borrow thousands of pounds
Definite cat fish. Id bin the looser he has no intention of meeting and is stringing you along for whatever reason

Daygloboo · 18/06/2025 22:01

He sounds a bit creepy

Jackiemcnally · 19/06/2025 10:02

You've had a lucky escape

Bluedenimdoglover · 19/06/2025 15:19

Forget it. He's a time wasting fantasist.
