    Told him today I would be unavailable tonight due to my spending the evening with my old (imaginary) friend and we agreed to make contact tomorrow. But just received a text asking how I am doing... :wall:

    He just can't lay off.
    And the night is still young...

    If a gentleman friend was off out for some male bonding, I wouldn't be badgering him with texts.:think:

    Discussion seriously needed. I'd find that so annoying and bordeline rude tbh. Maybe he's expecting you to say that you're terribly bored as you're only with a "friend" and not him :rotfl:
    How many texts do you reckon you'll get by the time you go to bed? Place your bets ladies and gents... I'm going with 5

    I'm catching up with an old mate - allegedly.
    Maybe he thinks he is being cute and it will somehow boost my street cred with her. :huh:

    Too subtle :D


    He certainly doesn't seem to think if you are with someone it would be rather rude to spend time texting anyone one else. But of course that would be poor manners.
    However, you won't be able to claim you were too busy with your friend to reply...
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Tomorrow I'll come clean that she didn't turn up.
    But I didn't tell him as I needed space.
    And the fact that he was still trying to get my attention even though he thought I was with someone is a prime example of why I need to ratchet things down a bit.:(

    Don't walk ... run. Seriously sounds like a control freak.

    You don't need to come clean, you need to bin him. He sounds like a nutjob.
