How to stop talking to this guy ?

[Taylorisme5]

I met someone at a friend's wedding a few weeks back. He seemed cool and I sent him a message on Facebook recently, and we have been talking. However, I find him arrogant and we don't seem to have much in common. He's my close friends' personal trainer though, and I feel like it's kinda rude to just stop replying ? He hasn't asked me out or anything, just back and forth messages. What would you do to stop things ?

If he is the personal trainer then they are his clients. I imagine he doesn’t talk to them in the same way.

Yeah that is very true. Do you really think it's negging ?

He sounds like a right dick. Ignore. Don’t worry what other people think - he’s totally the one in the wrong.

@AnyFucker there’s no need to be needlessly insulting to the OP. Does it make you feel clever?

You’d be better off blocking him. He sounds awful.

When you speak to someone in real life who behaves like this, they generally have a little smirk on their faces that makes you want to slap them.

I wouldn't bother replying anymore. If he asks why you're not speaking to him, I'd reply once more to say that you were busy with someone who does find you funny and that you've been busy arranging to go running together between Christmas and new year.

You could wait for the next twatty message and reply

'Okaaaaay '

Then when he questions it:

'Ooooh you're so oversensitive! Only banter lolz'

Just annoy him a bit then stop replying or he'll stop replying.

Yes, you really don't need it in your life OP - if he starts out by emotionally manipulating I dread to to think where he would end.

Literally just stop!

He's a personal trainer who thinks it's weird you're going to keep running over Christmas?

So he's a rude knob who isn't good at his job. Ditch.

Oh dear God! Just say that his negative comments about what you do and say aren’t conducive to continuing the current back and forth and this will be your last message to him. Wish him a Happy New Year and then ignore/ block.

I wish women would stop apologising for stuff that isn’t their fault. I get it, the male ego is a delicate thing, so it’s their responsibility not to be arses and not behave in a manner that increases the probability of it getting bruised.

There’s nothing rude about having boundaries and asserting them.

I just stopped in the end 😬 I think it was the right thing.
