I've blocked him but I owe him £10, wwyd?

[TheLingeringTenner]

I posted late last year about having a crush on the owner of a business I frequented to do with a hobby (think sport)

Long story short I put my cards on the table and we went out a few times and ended up sleeping together but it didn't go anywhere as it transpired he was hung up on his on/off ex so I blocked him a few weeks ago as my feelings were getting hurt.

He would do this thing where when I go to buy something he'd say "don't worry about it, just give me it next time" despite me insisting he take the money. Upon reflection I think was his way of ensuring I kept coming back as I'd know I owed him something iykwim.

So at the point of blocking there was an outstanding £10 and I don't have his bank details.

Would you

A) Unblock him and ask him to send the details so I can transfer the money and then promptly block him again.

B) Take it into the shop.

C) Send it in the post.

I don't like the idea of not repaying it. I know it's only a few quid but it's the principle and I don't like feeling like I haven't paid what's owed.

Put it in an envelope and put it through his/the shop letterbox.

It's ten quid.

It’s a tenner. Donate it to a charity and keep him blocked.

What Granny said. Envelope through the door.

I would put it in an envelope and put it either in the post or through to the shop communicating would just look like you are trying to get in touch to pick up things. Just post him the tenner chalk up to experience find an alternative shop and chalk this one up to experience x

Jeezo, it’s a tenner - I genuinely wouldn’t bother it with the hassle… Obviously you are nicer than me in which case stick it in the post or through the letter box?

It's a tenner. I wouldn't bother. But because you do want to pay it back, I would also put it in an envelope with his name on and leave it at the shop/post it through his letterbox.

Just forget it. You’re way overthinking this.

With me and an ex, we went no contact for a while then resumed communication to settle the debt

It's £10! You're being ridiculous
It sounds to me like you're looking for an excuse to contact him again. At least that's how he will read it.

At I'm a tenner in a charity donation and keep him blocked. It's £10.

I wouldn't give it a second thought!
If you ever see him again and he asks you for it which would be a very dickish thing to do then just give it him back there and then.

Post him the £10.

Yeah I may well be over thinking it. I have a tendency to do that. It's a small sum of money I just don't like the idea that I might be seen as avoiding to repay a debt.

I think I'll go for C and put an envelope through the door when the shop is closed. I agree if I unblocked him for this reason it would just look like I wanted an excuse to get in touch.

£10....forget it! An ex owed me hundreds, I was just glad to be out it Not even worth giving it another thought!

Send a cheque in the post. Old fashioned I know but works.

It's £10?!?! If you give it back it will look like you are making excuses to see/talk to him

Just move on

Jeez I’d forget it, it’s £10 you would look ridiculous if you posted it to him and it would look like you wanted attention. An ex owed me £300 I never got it back.

Forget it. Even posting it through the door
might make him
read something into it

It does look like you’re a bit desperate and looking for a reason, I’d let it go op. It’s a tenner, it’s doubtful he’s thinking about it

It’s a tenner. Just leave it.

Just- draw a line under it. He most likely chose to pay because he wanted to/ is generous/ hates the faff of splitting a small bill.
It will just look bonkers, and like you want to get in touch.
Just leave it

You are looking for a reason to contact him again

Aren’t you ?

Envelope in shop

Or post
