AITB for blocking a guy after hard launching our first date?
I (18F) went on a date with a guy (19M) to make my ex jealous (not to achieve anything. I don't want him back, I'm just petty). It was a casual hangout that really only consisted of awkward conversation and walking around, and we told each other that we wanted to see each other again but in the way where you know you're never going to talk to this person again. I soft launched him on my main, public account and hard launched on my private with a photobooth kiss photo.
After launching, one of my friends who went to school with him freaked out and called me after seeing my story, and told me that apparently up in school he was looking up girls skirts and just being "stalkerish". I talked to a few more people who went to the same school as him and they told me the same thing. I told him on the first date that I had a set of expectations for a guy that would not ever bend, which included not being creepy. I hate confrontation and therefore decided to block him across all platforms and pray he got the hint.
Unfortunately, apparently we have some mutual friends who I can't avoid in my life, that are now spamming me asking why I blocked him. Do I tell them all the stuff I heard, or is it just going to make them give some sort of justification that I don't want to hear? Do I unblock and explain why I'm not comfortable or willing to talk to this guy again? The ex hasn't seen my story so I don't want to take it down yet, but it feels weird still having it up. And kinda buttface-y considering how I am basically using the guy for some petty goal.
