Texting after I called things off.

I had a first date 3 weeks ago. Went really well and arranged a second date about a week and a half after. During this time he was sending texts saying he misses me etc which was a bit too much after one date but I gave the benefit of thr doubt however when having date number 2 for me the chemistry had gone and after the date I explained I wasn't feeling it and wanted to call things off. This was last week. He's now messaging asking if we can retry and it's making me uncomfortable. Is it ok just to block him? I find his messaging too much. I've met twice and spent only a couple of hours in his company and I feel I've tried to be nice.

Block him - you owe him nothing! If he makes you feel uncomfortable then there is no way forward is there?

You need to ask? Are you sure you are ready to date.

Of course it's OK to block him.

At the moment, he's butting his against against the bars of your shark cage. He thinksnthat, if he's persistent enough, you'll give in to him.

You don't want to and he's not someone you want in your life and he's causing you emotional distress. Why wouldn't you block him?

He's a stranger and you owe him nothing
You didn't ghost him like some would, you actually told him you didn't want to see him again
He's being very disrespectful to not accept that now
Block him and think nothing more of it

"Thank you but I'd rather not"

He sounds like a love bombing weirdo. Good on you for trusting your instincts and saying no.

Absolutely OK to just block.

Olika · 12/04/2024 12:28

Just block him. Don't entertain any kind of convo with him.

Planesmistakenforstars · 12/04/2024 12:33

Block him. You don't owe niceness to someone who is not nice. He's not taking no for an answer and trying to wear you down. Exactly the kind of man to avoid.
