OP, is this man from another culture where the belief in spirits/ghosts/possession is a common one?

No, he is British and born here as far as I know. I’ve seen a photo of him on Facebook. She has told me a lot about him so she would have mentioned if he was not from the UK.

We are focusing here on the ghost excuse. The real issue here is - would the OP's friend ask the OP to meet someone if he hadn't come up with that excuse; say he said 'sorry, I'm a junkie' or 'sorry I'm not mentally stable'? I suspect not.

I can't see what the OP's friend will gain by the OP meeting her ghost riddled 'friend'. Either the OP will say 'yes, clearly ghost-ridden' or 'no, not ghost ridden' and will then say 'yes, worth it' or 'no, not worth it'. But which ever conclusion the OP comes to, it's not them in the relationship and hence, still up to the OP's friend whether they see them or not.


If someone is so scared of someone else that they have to leave with their belongings in the middle of the night, I'd expect any friend to say 'probably not worth pursuing this one luv'. Whether they meet them or not. [The clues are there and should not be ignored].

I agree.

And if we play along for a little, and accept that he is possessed by a ghost, then there is still the question: Why would you want to date someone who (apparantly) becomes regularly possessed by an angry, aggressive ghost who tells you to f*ck off?

On the plus side if she stays with him over Christmas she might get to see a real live version of A Christmas Carol!

Erm, no we don't.

I certainly don't!!

Why on earth would I?? The contents of other people's cupboards are not interesting to me in the slightest*.

*Unless they contain S&V crisps! :rotfl:

I wish it was – that would be preferable to the current situation where he wants to keep seeing her.

ok - I cant help it if you all feel constrained by 'miss manners book of ettiquette'. but, if my friend was determined to 'see' this guy, then I wouldnt give a !!!!! about 'sneaking' around!
and - impromptu parties ARE common where I live. we often go back to friends houses for a takeaway - I dont see whats strange about that?
and if any female on here says that she doesnt take a look around while she is at a friends house - (I dont mean look in drawers or anything, but bathroom cabinets are fair game) then they are lying! we ALL do it!

I'm sure trashy people do snoop, thank goodness none of my friends, acquaintances and me don't fall into that category.

Ok...I'm sorry but I'm a bit mischievous and I'd have to go....but dressed like this and singing "Who you gonna call......Ghostbusters!"

Well from a female's perspective if the ghostbuster looked like this I would also pretend I was possessed lol:D
