Really, I feel that I should ignore the urge to mess with him and just block all communications whatsoever.
He could be a great many things, where all but a vanishingly small number have any positive value for you. Move on.
You’re like a guy from MiddleofNowhere, Midwest, going to the big city for the first time, who lacks the city slicker knack of avoiding the random street crazy in the first place, and then lacks the will of brushing him off once he’s making your skin crawl.
The fact that this guy has got you all wound up about is only further evidence that he’s not a suitable playmate for you until your skin has calloused over a few times.
Your spider sense is tingling. Trust it, and move on.
The world is full of people you don’t talk to, and who don’t talk to him. As far as he’ll know, you may have just gone on vacation. Or been hit by a bus. He’ll move on too.
Great and well meant advice.
I was inclined to do that before, but having support helps.
I will stop responding to him regardless of anything.
But I am still really curious if this is a right answer to pascal’s mugging and if it is—why.
All this time lurking on LW and it doesn’t look like there is a consensus.
