New man - landline/email?

151 replies

theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:39

Been seeing some a few weeks - only have his mob number. He took longer than usual to reply to a text and it occurred to me that if phone broke or something, no way of contacting eachother, so asked him for his landline/email address. He hasn't given them to me and (apprently jokingly) called me a stalker...
was i wrong to ask?

theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:45

It's a pretty weird response to call you a stalker, even as a joke.

theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:46

peppa - why red flag?! sorry new to all this after being married..

i have recently learned the very hard way.. all i can say is trust your instincts. if you start questioning yourself too much, red flag and run... he shouldnt make you feel this way

It's early days I suppose. I don't have a landline and wouldn't necessarily give out my email address to someone I'd only been seeing a few weeks unless they were actually planning on emailing me something. I wouldn't even give out my address but seeing as you've already been to his house that's irrelevant.

Calling you a stalker is OTT though.

FaffTastic · 05/07/2012 22:48

Oh, X posts with quite a few!

theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:49

Yes, think you could be right, sadly... He was alos the one i posted about yesterday who "couldnt used condoms". However he called to say he' arrange a test today so things were looking up, until this eve

yes i am divorced after 13 yrs too and i have learned a lesson. i didnt think i was naive, far from it. however i have just managed to get out of a relationship with an absolute idiot. anyone who says something, then says "just joking" is more like a teenager. never question yourself too much. i may be reading too much into it however i wish you the best and just be careful :-)

AKissIsNotAContract · 05/07/2012 22:51

Why can't he use condoms? He sounds like a douchebag.

theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:52

yes peppa, think you might be right - i shouldn't be questioning things so much. Interestingly he's not replied to my text. Think that's the end of that :(

OP posts:
peppapiglet · 05/07/2012 22:52

get out and now.. the minute you say "i think youre right" it is because you know youre right. get out before you get more attached and move on.. really :-)

theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:53

Can't keep it up with them, so he booked a test today as i refused t do anything without condoms/a test

OP posts:
peppapiglet · 05/07/2012 22:54

its a few weeks.. its nothing. you shouldnt be feeling this way after a few weeks! how did you meet him?

theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:55

i know peppa - i was getting very, very attached too. Obviuosly to much if asking for a phone no/email has freaked him out

OP posts:
theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:55

met him in a bar on a night out with a friend - seemed nice, she thought so too

OP posts:
peppapiglet · 05/07/2012 22:56

omg, I cant believe he is telling you his medical problems already and you havent slept with him? lol
to be honest i would be questioning if it is an excuse, he just doesnt want to use condoms..

theendishere · 05/07/2012 22:58

h said condoms hadnt been an isue before but as i was worried about it, he'd book a test

OP posts:
peppapiglet · 05/07/2012 22:59

in my opinion.. getting so attached after a few weeks is a warning flag for you... you can really really like someone but if you are just exchanging texts you dont really know. i have an instinct about this after what i have just experienced and i just want you to be careful :-)

AKissIsNotAContract · 05/07/2012 23:00

I'd be tempted to text him 'if I was going to make the effort to stalk a man, I'd at least choose one who can maintain an erection' and then never contact him again.

theendishere · 05/07/2012 23:00

He's just text to say he really was jokingm and will let me know tomorrow and wants to make up.
god this is all so difficult -
