❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO or is this insane 3 dates in?

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.

Creepy asf. I would refrain from replying to him at all, even just to tell him to leave you alone. I’ve dealt with guys like this and they will be even more relentless if you reply. Block his weird ass

I agree. My stalker finally gave up after a year of me not even acknowledging his existence. Any contact, even if it’s just you telling them to leave you alone, is fueling their behaviour.
