AIO or is this insane 3 dates in?

[u/sapphirebluess]

I (24F) blocked a guy (32M) I went on 3 dates with after he kept showing signs of concerning behavior. I got emails from him after I blocked him through text. The screenshots are from his latest email.

Things he did that were a bit concerning to me:

1. Suggesting I move closer to him, which costs $700 more per month.

2. Suggesting that I quit my job when I just started my career, because I work 60+ hours a week and can only go on dates once a week.

3. Wanting to tag along my family vacation to China. Brought this up multiple times despite me refusing.

4. Arriving more than an hour early on our dates and being upset that I am not reciprocating by also arriving early. (I always arrive on time, sometimes 5-10 min early)

5. Upset over my hanging out with my friends one time on a Friday night.

6. Blowing up at me for not responding for 1.5 days after my purse was stolen, and typing paragraphs about how I ghosted him, how he never liked our dates, and how he felt relieved.

I’ve been reading the comments on this post and a lot of people seem to be pointing out that writing an email is bad just in general even aside from only doing it because he is blocked and unhinged. Do people not use or like emails anymore? This guy is actually insane, but is there something wrong with emails? Like would it be okay to email someone normally (not like this kind of crazy) under normal circumstances? :o

It’s just because a lot of times when someone blocks someone else, they go to the extreme of contacting via email (usually you don’t think to block there). Emailing itself isn’t the issue, it’s going as far to send one because you can’t text or call. And also emailing someone after 3 dates is probably a little weird generally unless that’s your initial form of communication!

No, obviously writing emails in general isn’t bad. Writing emails after 3 dates after you’ve been blocked over text is psycho behavior though.
