So i had this random guy inbox me on instagram and we started talking for a few days now has not even been a week. well long story short he seems a little off. he states he use to work in the military he is only 30 years old owns a condo in the city and a loft in brooklyn and is currently retired. We last spoke last night and i said goodnight because i was going to sleep. today i receive a message while on my lunch break of a crying emoji and i replied back saying hey wassup with the face. He then stated he doesnt like when i dont reply to his messages but i didnt receive any messages from him today. I told him he was scaring me because i felt its a little too soon to be talking that way especially since i dont even know him or never even met him. he then insisted that i didnt tell him goodnight or goodmorning and for me to screenshot the text where i told him goodnight last night. i am thinking of just blocking him right now. Am i overreacting or not? What do you guys think ?

Do you trust your judgment and simple logic so little that you seriously had to ask?


Do you have a history of over reacting?


I'm sorry I'm just lost I guess...

That's very good that you don't entertain bad behavior.


I was just bewildered because your post came across as unsure that you made the right call, when he was so obviously lit up in bright red flags.

with regards to whether he's genuine about his life or not, it's not entirely off. at 30 yrs old one could have been in the military since you can be 18 afaik, to join, I know my brother joined, did his one term in the military and got out well before 30.

The retired part, is kind of strange tho. retiring early is not uncommon but at 30 yrs old, having spent his time in the military and such it seems unlikely that he's extremely well off enough to be retired.

it's been a week and he's clinging to you, that is too much and you should just walk away from this one.
Thanks for this!

Yes i walked away deleted him off my social media and blocked him from messaging and calling me. He seemed to clingy and possessive very early on. He even text last night and said I "BETTER'' call him before i go to bed to tell him goodnight. This morning i seen the message and immediately blocked him from contacting me again. Thanks guys.
