I knew him when we were teenagers, hadn't seen him in a decade but he added me on Facebook so messaged to have a catch-up.
Before long, he had liked about 7 of my photos at once using the 😮 emoji, and just found it a bit sleazy.
Anyway, he started saying how great I looked, and then double texting me saying I was shit at messaging back, so I just let the conversation fizzle.
A month later he messaged again saying I had walked past him in town and 'how good I looked'. It was putting me off that he always had to comment on how I was looking. He asked me for a drink but I had started seeing someone and told him so, and he seemed to get the message.
A month later, he tried a third time, saying he had 'seen me on Tinder' even though I am no longer on it. Every time I tried to stop the conversation he would find a way to start it up again.
In the end I said "i'm sorry, but I am not interested and I have tried to make that clear. I don't want you to waste your time messaging me and I'm sure you will meet someone soon."
He replied saying "what the hell are you on about ? Where have you got that from, i'm only trying to make conversation and be polite."
I explained my reasons and then he stopped and I didn't hear from him again.
Does it sound like I did the right thing ? He tried 3 times and was just being very persistent.
