What would be 'too much' for you? Like the way they come across with all compliments and things ? I'm not in a relationship with him only Been messaging for a few days but he's calling me babe and things and I'm not sure if it's too much I'm not used to messaging men as I've been in a LTR.

He's now decided he's not a virgin

He was just joking to see what I'd say Hmm

He sounds like a player from what you've said. If he led you to genuinely believe he's a virgin, he's not a joker, he's a liar

He's playing mind games before hitting first base with you.

Sad Angry

Sorry but you'll be posting here again about more headfucks if you let him into your life more intimately.

Aww, Babe, is this you? Wink

I hate being called babe or hun unless I'm in a relationship with the man, and even then it's a bit cringey. As for multiple messages before meeting, no, sod that. It can create a false sense of intimacy with a total stranger, and can be a waste of time if there's no chemistry if/when you actually meet.

Fs majorly overthinking this its just a word not even always meant in a romantic sense my bf is southern and uses it in mamy ways i wouldnt take offence

Questioningeverything · 23/07/2017 21:34

He sounds like a twat.

When my oh calls me babe too much I correct him with my actual name 😂

The virgin 'joke' would be enough for me to stop talking to the weirdo too

wotabastard · 23/07/2017 21:35

Have you blocked him yet? What a knob! Confused

Bant · 23/07/2017 23:44

Yeah, he lied to you to see what he'd response he'd get. He'll do it again. Yes I got checked for STDs. Yes I paid the rent. No I'm not sleeping with anyone else.

Dump him.

thing1andthing3 · 24/07/2017 00:06

Havnt replied and had the odd message since saying how crap he feels Hmm

Such good looks wasted on a nob, I've rarely seen any other man that I have felt attracted to since split from ex it's like there won't be another man that il ever have feelings for or fall for since he left...

It's just shit

Can I just reiterate my point that you haven't met him? You don't even know if those photos are actually him.

The dating thread on here has several rules to survive dating - grow a thick skin, it's all bullshit till it actually happens, if it's not fun, stop and others.

Take a look on there, there are lots of people going through the same as you.

forget this one. He's a weirdo. There are normal attractive people out there. They take some finding, but they really are out there

thing1andthing3 · 24/07/2017 08:41

No on this occasion it's certainly him. Like I said he's local so I know of him and on Fb but I've just never met him myself.

Giving him a massive benefit of the doubt , maybe he's not done OLD before and is nervous? I'd arrange to meet for a quick coffee and find out for sure if he is a twat.

timis · 24/07/2017 09:22

He's a nob, don't waste your time.

thing1andthing3 · 24/07/2017 10:34

No definatly not going to pursue. I'm sure there will be another man out there somewhere with nice blue eyes Grin
I don't think il get involved with may body too local in future too as everyone knows everyone and that's where rumours and gossip starts too. I've kids to think about and to focus on. I may just wait it out and stop searching and then the right one may come along.
