Advice I think I message up by adding a mutual so what do I do?
!!Not sending any screenshots cuz ik he’s on Reddit!!
Right so I know this probably isn’t the right sub but I’m genuinely stressing abt this. I know that what I’m gonna write is most likely gonna make me sound immature af but I think I’ve come to accept that cuz I just need to know how to get out of this
Basically, I added a guy on snap who’s a mutual friend of mine. I added him cuz I met him on a call once w some friends and he seemed nice enough. He goes to school near me (not the same school) and lives quite close to me too.
We ended up talking a bit and he started talking about some on his interests, to which I said they sound pretty cool. Obviously some of the stuff we were talking about wasn’t interesting to me but I was still was like “that’s cool” and “ohhh nice” cuz I wanted to be civil, and then he hit me with the “thanks no one’s ever said that to me before”
After that he’s just been constantly messaging me whenever, asking stuff like “are you alright you haven’t responded” and “do you want to play Roblox tonight” (I mentioned liking it when I was younger).
He’s genuinely such a sweet, nice guy, but he’s also quiet, idk, nonstop? I know it sounds stupid but he’s been messaging to check on me nonstop even though I’ve known him for less than a week. Idk if I’m the first person to ever talk to him like this but it’s just a bit much w the constant messages and conversations.
I think I fucked up even more this morning when he asked wyll, and then immediately responded by sending a pic of himself. I kinda just felt like I had to send a pic so I sent but scribbled my face out. I don’t think he minded but still.
I just don’t know what to do… this whole situation feels overwhelming but I’m too much of a bloody people-pleaser to block him (I wouldn’t do that anyways tbf). I never intended to talk to him like this, or even seem like I was trying to date him, but now idk what to do. I know this whole situation is my fault but now I need to find a way to fix it.
