Should I block my online boyfriend?
I’m a gay Palestinian in Ramallah (18M) and I’ll be using English since it’s my language of expression.
An American dude DMed me on TikTok, his name is John and he’s 26, we started chatting. In the midst of our chat he told me to download some messenger app called “Zangi”, and it became our way of communicating and contact, that’s how we started dating.
First of all, his grammar feels like a toddler typing, and he’s jobless, the thing is, he keeps asking me to buy a gift card or help him financially. he says that he was orphaned at 16, and lives with his uncle who gives him some pocket money, like sir, ur fucking 26, find a fucking job.
Anyways my problem is: he keeps emotionally blackmailing me by saying” please I have no one” “I really need it (the gift card )” or “I know you hate me know” and some other shit, and here’s how our chats go: 1) he texts “hi babe”
2) I reply with “wassup”
3) then he says “ how are you doing?”
4) I say: “ very well, you?”
5) he says at last “good. But babe, about the gift card?” Then he plays the victim , and I end up ghosting him.
And it’s weird he keeps asking for a gift card more than money, and of course I don’t send any, I am not his daddy and he’s just a stranger online tbh, that’s how I feel about long distance online relationships where the couple never even met.
At last, if you reached the end, thank you a lot, I know it was long but I needed to explain it without any ambiguity.
Please give me your opinion, love uuuu
Edit from 2 hours later: I just blocked him, thank you all for replying ☺️❤️
And it did feel the right thing to do.
