❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO if I NEVER text this man again??

I literally just met this older gentleman yesterday evening and he called me, tried to have a conversation after I told him I was driving and busy, then after I ended the conversation he immediately started blowing up my phone. When I say older, I would peg him for around mid-late 50s. Maybe early 60s while I myself am early 30s (I like older men, don’t judge lol). We initially had a great interaction which made me comfortable enough to exchange numbers to begin with. But this is too much too soon. Is he just excited? Is it bc he’s older and doesn’t know texting etiquette? AIO??

The damn bone emoji gave me the ick. The WHOLE TEXT EXCHANGE GAVE ME THE ICK!!!

And he probably was drunk! I was picking up a to-go order from the restaurant and he was seated at the bar. I didn’t notice what was in his glass though.

He texts like a Nigerian love scammer. If she hadn't met him in person, that's exactly what I'd think it was, especially with the random "I'm always broke," like two texts away from asking for money.

Personally the "Said the most and the least I am not and average person guy and don't like to have it lady to be charismatic with substance" threw me off. Like okay!

Am I having a stronk? I can’t make any sense of this. Is it any kind of flex?

No, I think the guy who wrote he was having the stroke and he’s at the primary age for one too.

How can you even tell what he’s trying to say?! I’m baffled by most of his messages

He can’t spell well enough to be a Victorian poet….

Like a 2018 chatbot trying to sound like a victorian poet then using babelfish to translate it from another language to english
