Shall I Block This Guy On Whatsapp?

[abbeyleigh]

I've met this guy on a dating app and he messages me all the time but seems obsessed with sending me nude pics rather than a normal conversation. It's getting really boring and tempted to block him.

[Tilly2]

Why have asked this question. You know what you need to do.
Grow up, Abbey.

[LadyCG]

A man who bombards you with those sort of images is not a nice man and not marriage material. If you had a daughter would you want her to be involved with someone like him?

[cashier]

How long had you been in contact with him before you decided to ask us what to do?

[ladybirder]

I'm amazed you have had to ask.

[abbeyleigh]

Not long at all and no wouldn't want a daughter doing that if I have one or a son saying that to girls

[Neveracrossword]

Abbeyleigh,when you asked the question, did you think there would be a single person who'd say, 'No, don't block him, everything seems fine'?

[abbeyleigh]

Coz he was asking me to meet up aswell

[Redhelen72]

I am surprised that a 30 year old has to ask this question

[Neveracrossword]

Surely you weren't even thinking of meeting up with him? I think you should have deleted him as soon as the first nude pic came in.

[abbeyleigh]

I did say I can't meet up

[ducksie]

I think it's a sign of the times, I have young nieces in this age bracket and thankfully a few of them are happily married but I think these people on the apps are well able to groom a person, it is often seen even on magazine tv shows how women are drawn in, regardless of age, I don't think it's fair to cross examine Abbeyleigh, it's a fair question. For anyone to sit there and ask, what were you thinking is a bit unfair when you are not on the dating scene as it is today.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbeyleigh's previous posts show that she's a fairly busy person, with a fairly busy active social life and lots of friends - so I assumed she was a bit more savvy.

[ducksie]

NACW, Abbey has dyspraxia and is not as savvy as you had assumed

[Neveracrossword]

I know about the dyspraxia - and I know that the 30-year-olds I come in contact with are, mainly, quite street-wise, clued-up on idiots/bad people sending nude pics and so on. Friends, real friends, should be of more use to Abbey than random people on the internet. Still, if she asks for our advice...

[ducksie]

That's what I was trying to encourage earlier in the thread NACW - staying with your own friends and keeping off apps

[tiggerblue10]

This is a Q&A site so I think it's reasonable to seek advice on here. Abbey's friends might give her different advice.

[barry1010]

I don't understand why you need to ask if you should block him. He is a predatory pervert, why wouldn't you block and report him?
This is not normal behaviour and is insulting and hugely disrespectful

[jourdain2]

I'm just backk from a lovely weekend away (Richard 111 at Stratford - just WOW!). Honestly Abbeyl. you really shouldn't need to ask. You must be more than 16 yrs old..
He's a weirdo. Get rid. Report him. Block him if you can and whatever you do - don't answer him. I haven't read the thread, but I am as sure 'as eggs is eggs' that others have given you the same advice. How old are you, by the way (within a year or so) and do you have any other source of older advice?

[jourdain2]

^^^Abbey, I'd like to add that if your circumstances are such that you need outside help and advice - I and others are always happy to do our best.

[roopower]

You need to ask?????
