I (think) I (might) be talking to another groomer
(This is an alt) Ok, I have another post on this, but a few weeks ago I ended up talking to this dming this guy on Reddit after he commented on a post of mine on r/mental health. Basically, he was 19, I’m 15f and things got weird so I blocked him. That brings me to today.
A few days ago, I posted something vaguely related to my mental health on either this sub or r/teenagers, either way this guy ended up dming me about the post and he offered to let me vent about my mental health and stuff and I accepted. We moved to Instagram and he said he’s 20 (he knew I was 15 from the get-go).
I vented a bit and he listened and reassured me and something similar happened the next day but we drifted into normal conversation (which always seems to happen when I vent but whatever) and he started asking sort of personal questions about my sex life and stuff but it was slid in between regular conversations so, while I was taken aback, I responded honestly (there’s really not much to say when it comes to me) and asked the same questions back. He asked me to send a picture so I did like a side half face sort of picture and he sent a picture from his camera roll. He said I look beautiful and things like that, which isn’t immediately alarming I guess. He also was a bit incessant about calling rather than texting. Not in an obvious way, but he just kept asking when and I kept putting it off until I caved. He described my voice as “sexy” and today when I mentioned my hight he said he finds short girls hot so I asked him point blank if he is trying to be in a relationship with me. He said no and apologised for being weird and said that he didn’t think before he spoke and meant it in a more general way, but I still feel weird about it.
Honestly, I feel really stupid now that I’ve written this all out. It seems sort of obvious now. I made up so many excuses that there was a language barrier (english is his second language) and he didn’t realise the words he was using had romantic connotations or something because he felt so genuine, but I don’t know how to feel. I was dreading his text all day and felt sick when I got the notification. I’ve had a gut feeling from the start to be honest. I’m just a fucking attention whore I guess and liked that a guy was talking to me and found me pretty (even though I’m not even into guys ). I guess I should probably just block him at this point but I still feel torn. I feel sort of gross and stupid for letting this even start in the first place, twice. I thought I knew better than this.
