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?

He's not been mentioned so rest easy MuckyCarpet :)

it's not like Mumsnetters ever comment on anyone's wiki entry or anything ever after strange encounters with them is it?

Unlikely, Mucky - his name doesn't appear here nor does the title of the show, which most probably had a viewing audience consisting of his and any other contestants' families Grin

You're intrigued about what's going on in his head? Put it this way; what he's lost one way he's made up for by inflating his ego to monstrous dimensions.

Delete him from your fb, phone, whatever, and also your mind because, from his pix, he's not exactly worthy of being washed and brought to your tent taken home to the dps or shown off to pals, is he?

If you hooked this one on POF, throw him back and cast your line again - better luck next time!

FoofFighter · 23/01/2012 11:32

Has he been in touch again yet or have you put him off now?

TheBigmouthBugle · 23/01/2012 12:11

I wrote the user name ArseWormsWithoutSatnav on a note when I was sending PMs, put it on the table and forgot about it, my boss just read it, looked at me and said "mumsnet?" Blush

How is my new name looking btw? ( It's Solomum)

MuckyCarpet · 23/01/2012 12:16

He contacts me now and again on facebook, just mudane stuff like "Its freezing today". I give him the one word answers he used to give me. Funnily enough he seems to be upping his game a bit and has started being nice to me again. Too late now though.

Thanks Izzy, I'm not keeping this one, just thought it was funny as I'm not usually gossipy Grin

SummerRain · 23/01/2012 12:46

It's not a very beautiful face to go with that massive ego!

Oh, wish I'd contributed to this thread earlier now. He sounds like one to avoid, OP for sure.

Please can I have a PM.... thank you kindly!! Smile

FoofFighter · 23/01/2012 13:02

If anyone wants a PM, Pm me - but really, you'll have to google him to know who he is Confused

villagegossip · 23/01/2012 13:03

Could I have a pm please - to know if i've seen the programme as well as find out who he is Grin

glastocat · 23/01/2012 13:03

And me pretty please!

solidgoldbrass · 23/01/2012 14:09

I doubt he would have the money to sue even if he did want to (and he can't because no one's mentioned his name on here). And he wouldn't win, as no one has said anything untrue about him.

TheBigmouthBugle · 23/01/2012 14:34

Oi Foof! I go for lunch and you nick my job? Angry right I'm flouncing back to my old name Grin
