I’ll try and keep this short… basically I want to know whether this is a weird thing to do or not!
So I got a very strange message of a random account on Facebook a few months ago. I don’t want to go into details on this because it’s very outing to anyone who knows me… long story short this account tried adding a lot of people I either knew or had mutual friends with. All except one person, a man who is seemingly completely unconnected to me in anyway.
As insane as this sounds I couldn’t get this guy out of my head. From his pictures I thought he was gorgeous and impulse got the better of me and I added him. I’m not normally one for adding complete strangers may I add! Anyway, he accepted and a few days later I sent him a message totally expecting to be ignored.
To my extreme surprise he replied! He seemed to think I was AI generated at first and possibly attempting to scam him but after we got passed that we had a nice conversation and then nerves got the better of me and I didn’t reply again. I started to worry that he was only replying out of politeness and I felt guilty, like I had ambushed him and he was too nice to ignore me.
I regret this though! I really would have liked to get to know him. It’s been 8 weeks and I can’t get this niggle out of my head! We are still friends on Facebook and he does view my stories. Not that it’s anything to go by really. Anyway, I’m hoping I can get some opinions on whether it would be completely weird to finally reply apologising for the disappearance/delay. Explain that I worried I’d ambushed him and panicked that he was only replying out of politeness and offer my number only if he’s genuinely interested and that there’s no hard feelings if he isn’t.
Am I being crazy?!
