What to do about periodic booty caller?

I've seen a guy a few times over the past year for a FWB sort of booty call set-up.
January I decided I wasn't happy with the relationship the way it was, and asked him whether he wanted to date.
He replied saying that he was weird and no good at dating.
I replied fine, no worries, no more sex for you!

All fine.

About a month later he texts me out of the blue asking whether I'm dating. I told him to mind his own business.

Again, earlier this evening, he has texted asking whether I'm dating anyone. I told them that I have a queue forming not that it's any of his business.

Why does this dude not just fuck off into the great blue yonder? He's a nice chap, honest in his dishonest intentions, so it's not like I feel the need to block him or anything.

He just annoys me. Like he can text me out of the blue and expects me to tell him whether I'm dating someone or not!

I suppose I could block him, but he's been a good friend to me over the year, so I'm not keen to do that, just in case I need him in the future (I realise that sounds cold). We also drink in the same pub, so I'd bump into him every now and again anyway. He's insufferably shy and awkward though, so I could get away with just saying hello - he'd never initiate a conversation really - well he does sometimes, but he's as odd as two left feet so he'll see me in the pub, ignore me and then text me!

I suppose in a way it's nice to have a little male attention at the moment as I've been a bit of a recluse. Meh!

You'll probably hear from me again in June when he tries to suss out whether I'm up for a booty call again lol.

I think he wants to date you. Ask him, it's really quite easy. If the answer is no, delete and block. If the answer is yes, and you still want to date him, happy days.

I'm not sure why this should be hard work!

I think because she's already asked him, and he said no.

I just wonder whether he is that shy and awkward that he might need a second opportunity to speak up. Just asking to confirm would sort everything out.

Honestly just block him.
