Hi all...I have been chatting to a man I used to have a bit of a crush on in school. We reconnected over Facebook.
I like him, and he seems really nice mostly. Except something is putting me right off.
Firstly, he sent a screenshot of my own face to me with hearts on it. Slightly creeped me out. Once when he asked me out, i was busy and couldn't make it. He sent a thumbs up and i could be wrong but I felt he wasnt suited. Prior to that he had sent multiple messages without an answer, I didnt get a chance.
Then now we chat a little, he asks me to meet for coffee. Before I had chance to respond, he sent a message asking if I thought he was ugly. I said no why would you say that. He said cos of the rejection before. Which wasn't even a rejection tbh.
I told him I felt it a strange thing to say...by this point he had put me off going for coffee.
I was honest and said I found it strange and off putting. I had to say something as he kept messaging. He was saying how we would get on as we're on the same page, hes only being forward because he likes me, then saying he'll back off, then saying I'm rude not to reply.
I had to put the phone down as I didn't know what to say.
My long term ex who I split with a year ago, was quite controlling etc and I dont know if I am now super vigilant. Is it me being flaky, or him? I just felt that now I dont want to meet him.
I replied apologizing if I seemed rude, but I'm now stressed out. He thanked me for my apology and wished me a good day.
Any advice here please?
Feel kinda awful about it all now.
