Too clingy?

[Strangelycalmnow]

I saw a guy I met online a few times before the lockdown- just drinks, dinner, not dtd!
We’ve kept in touch since by text and a few calls. He seems to be getting very clingy now eg if I don’t reply within a couple of hours he takes offence. I’m not attached to my phone all day and enjoy spending time with my children too.
He seems a bit ott, I think. Any thoughts ?

I think he sounds like my ex and it got a whole lot worse!
I’d block him now and save yourself from a whole lot of misery!

Thanks, yes the alarm bells are ringing a bit...

get rid.

I Ignored the alarm bells for far too long, please listen to them, get rid of him and put yourself first x

These sorts of men just don’t get the message. The guy I binned off last week for clinginess (calling me multiple times a day while I was working, despite being told to stop) is still trying to contact me. It’s ridiculous and unfair. This is how stalking starts!

He doesnt respect normal boundaries. It may be that he also struggles being on his own and seems to think someone he has been on a few dates with should be one his emotional crutch for that.

You cout try telling him it's a bit much but from my experience, you shoulfnt need to tell someone something obvious like that and if you do, you often find they still just dont get it.

I would suggest a clean break and run for the hills. If he will let you xD

Yes, I think he probably does struggle a bit being alone. The irony is neither of us texted for a day last week. Now he’s taking offence that I haven’t replied within 2 hours!!

God life’s too short. He clearly doesn’t respect your boundaries and if he’s making you feel like this after 2 dates the signs are not good. Bin him.

Thanks for all the replies 😊
