Very odd experience with Online Bloke - help me make sense!

Ok so before I start I know this one is going nowhere. However I'm intrigued about what is actually going on in this guy's head!

So we started talking about 2 weeks ago. Long conversations which turned into texts away from the dating site. He would text me mid-day and we'd text back and forth until almost midnight. He was full of nice-ness. Lots of kisses, generally being very sweet and caring, asking about my day, asking how I was etc. Then he asked me for my facebook details which I gave him -- BOOM! Totally changed.

Now if he'd simply seen a few of my less flattering photos on facebook and decided not to pursue things I'd be fine with that. However this guy hasn't just disappeared on me, he's carried on texting me but in a way that suggests he's actually trying to offend me/upset me.

For example, he used to send the first text saying "hiya xx how are you today? :)" and now he just sends a random text saying "alright" wtf?? why bother??

I noticed a photo on his facebook with him stood with Gordon Ramsey and so I mentioned it and said I was jealous and joked if he was well in with Gordon he could cook for me (in response to him saying he wanted me to cook him my signature dish). His response was "yeah, as Gordon would say, fuck off". ???

Now I'm quite happy to stop contacting the bloke (as I have done) but he's the one that keeps initiating conversation with me. Another example was him texting me and in reply I asked how his appointment had gone that he'd mentioned the day before. His response was that he didn't go as something came up. I replied "oh right, shame" and he replied "whatever".

Now he's started private messaging me on facebook. Last night he mentioned he was going to Australia. I said that sounded nice and he replied that he didn't want to go really. I tried to keep it light hearted and said I'd love to be forced to go to Australia and he replied with "thats you". I was in a shit mood myself at this point so just said "ok grumpy" and he replied "no, not grumpy".

Why even contact me at all just to be like this? Yet out of the blue he'll send me a random "nice" text again.

Headfuck yeah? what's his game?

I need a pm please

ArseWormsWithoutSatNav · 22/01/2012 22:24

And me! I'm as curious as, um, George.

ArseWormsWithoutSatNav · 22/01/2012 22:25

Even though the chances of me having heard of the grumpy twat person are minuscule.

TheWisdomOfSolomum · 23/01/2012 00:39

Ok who is still waiting for a pm? I shall oblige.

solidgoldbrass · 23/01/2012 00:45

Meeeeee!

solidgoldbrass · 23/01/2012 00:46

I think the OP did say it wasn't Big Brother. Because it popped into my head that it might have been that bloke with Tourettes who won BB a few years back, except for the fact that he came across as very much not a knob on the programme.

BumgrapesofWrath · 23/01/2012 01:10

I briefly shagged dated someone who won a game show, he had a copy of the cheque enlarged and framed and displayed in his front room Hmm

HathorInARedDress · 23/01/2012 09:41

I didn't get a pm Sad

solidgoldbrass · 23/01/2012 10:32

Having had the PM, all I can say is that this fucker must have an ego the size of Mars as my reaction was 'Who?' And I imagine most people's would be the same.

kallima · 23/01/2012 10:33

I hadn't even heard of the show Grin
