Do I just let it go

So a guy I know asked to go for a night sea swim. We've done it a few times in the past but I backed out as it felt too much of a sort of boyfriend girlfriend thing to do and I think he has a girlfriend (he is not straight about it).

Two weeks ago he asked, I said no then later followed up with please come, theres a meteor show etc etc.

I arrived and he'd organised a fire with loads of logs and gone to lots of trouble. We sat there for hours, caught up, had a quick swim and after a few hours kissed me. We left in silence and we since haven't been in touch.

Half of me just wants to never see or hear from him again ever and then another part of me wants to say how messed up it is to continue to get in touch, make a fancy romantic scene, kiss me and then totally ignore me, not even acknowledge that he shouldn't have kissed me. I want to call him out on being spineless. Probably as I feel like a hypocrite as I walked myself right into it and more than anything angry with myself.

That's how it comes ogf to you lucky you. I however see it as manipulative prick who is toying with me. We all see what we want to see.

Block him.
It will stop you from contacting him. And he won’t have the opportunity to contact you ever again.

I mean, even forgetting about the fact he might have a gf, he spent a lot of effort to wow you and then…. ghosted you? He isn’t someone you want to have as a friend, let alone as a bf.

Thank you I just needed to hear that x

Personally I would stop making up thread after thread, you've been posting these for months, different scenarios but always a useless man.

Are you really that bored?

Oh lawks, just block him. Life is too short for this shit.

I don’t understand a number of things

  1. ‘he is cagey about having a girlfriend or not - how so? Have you actually asked him directly?

  2. why is ‘being silent the stronger thing’? Surely it’s sensible to lay out your expectations clearly

I suspect part of you wants a pseudo romantic narrative about you being too much to resist despite his partner - but the reality is that he’s trying to play a smoke and mirrors game here. Promise there is ZERO that is attractive about someone’s smoke and mirrors and cagey responses if you want to share a life with them. He sounds like a prat.

agree with PPs - block him. If you’d had straight conversations with him earlier about his gf or expectations then maybe there would be a convo to be had. But he’s not worth it. Block him - do something fun + create space in your life for people who are going to make real space for you

Yes and they were also on MN during all the brexit threads. They were, at the time, quite noticeable. But that was a few years ago and I’m sure they’ve got better.

Well, if you know he's a manipulative prick and he's making you angry, and you suspect he's got a girlfriend then you've got 2 options. You block him and move on or you continue to be "toyed with" and enjoy it. You're an adult and this is on you.
