Is this a red flag?

My friend started acting extra friendly 5 weeks a ago, I told him at the beginning that I got out of a bad relationship so i wasn't looking to date anyone at the moment, He clearly knew i was drunk when a few nights ago he asked me out. VERY drunk me agreed,
But as someone who i thought was responsible why would he do that? Number too he literally love bombed me and we have a few mutual friends in our inner So he repeats so many times , don't tell anyone we talk. I'm taken back because one i would never because it's not even serious, but why would he keep love bombing me to , turn around and say don't tell anyone we talk (mind you repeatedly)🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Meet up with that friends group together with him, hold up your glass and say:

[i]"I have an announcement to make. I am officially not a love target to anyone of you and if anyone treats me like the way (his name) has since I got single and love bombing me, trying to seduce me when drunk , tell me it's a secret between us that I shouldn't share to all of you and all other predatory behaviour, I will do this. *Throws drink in his face*

I will of course meet for friends gatherings but this man *points at him* is from yesterday's creep disgusting texting spam messages blocked and cut out of my life.

I hope you all can respect my decision and that the rest of us remain friends. Due to some unpleasant presence here tonight I will not stay to puke. I hope you understand. Everyone else but him with a drink in his face has my socials and numbers, feel free to catch up, love ya all. Bye[/i]!"

@RyanVersaw I'm not the one talking about my favourite TV shows here. I'm talking reality.

Get away from that love. As fast as you can. Anyone who asks to keep anything a secret is no good.

Did you go out with him? You would have been perfectly justified in backing out of it. Saying to him, "I was very drunk when you asked me out and I had already told you I didn't want to date anyone."
RadiantRose · 31-35, F
@Poppies Looking back he is very disrespectful, also last night he started texing me about wanting to cuddle .... and make love
DrWatson · 70-79, M
If I were going out with someone who I respected, I would want everyone to know!

I would wonder if he is hiding something.
RadiantRose · 31-35, F
@DrWatson We can ask him that question, because i wasn't even interested in him. I think he is dsting someone else from our group of friends
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@RadiantRose That is exactly the sort of thing I was wondering about.

The first thing I would do is tell everyone.
SnailTeeth · 36-40
@RadiantRose It's not like people just arrive at these conclusions out of boredom. I'm not suggesting you cast him out, or even react to this indiscretion. But I'm sure you have at least one confidant, and it's important to be on a team if this guy turns out to be something more than just a social oaf.
RadiantRose · 31-35, F
@SnailTeeth True, because he might turn around and say something about me first, yes i will tell a trusted friend
SnailTeeth · 36-40
@RadiantRose Bingo. That's the first thing narcissists do when they implode, or are faced with the part of themselves they're not ready to change. They create doubt and cast as much shade as possible, so they don't lose their minions. I hope this guy isn't a predator, he probably isn't, but it's good you recognise these things.

Why ask you out when he knew you were drunk in the first place then telling you not to say anything!!!, be careful Rosie 👀
RadiantRose · 31-35, F
@GovanDUNNY watch me run 🏃‍♂️ 😎
Convivial · 26-30, F
Yeah, i think he's playing games of some type... You don't need that in your life
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
He has someone else and wants you to be his fwb.
@Fungirlmmm that's what i was about to say
Fluffybull · F
Forget about him, he's an idiot.

ma'am *sips drink*I don't know what to tell you. I do a lot of shit that I ain't proud of while I'm fucked up. that's why it's called life. we'll never understand it. pass me those peanuts will ya
I don’t know, How drunk was he when he asked?
RadiantRose · 31-35, F
@nonsensiclesnail He was completely sober, i was the drunk one. Very much. He took advantage of me being very happy that night
@RadiantRose Ya… I’d stay away from that one.

What is Love Bomb ?
RadiantRose · 31-35, F
@Tres13
Like when people bombard you with compliments , give you so much attention and effection especially too early.
Love bombing is a controlling and manipulative tactic most often used by narcissists and abusive people. They seek to quickly obtain affection and attention before tearing their victims down. They may appear charming and exciting in the beginning, but this usually fades away and is replaced with emotional abuse.

Not a good thing & he not a good hombre @RadiantRose

A wise man once said

GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!
It’s a huge red flag.

Any one asking you not to tell anyone about the two of you is up to no good. You’re receiving good advice from people here.

Remind him that you said from the beginning you weren’t ready to date, and you’ve decided to stick with that.

If he [b]pushes[/b] after that, then it becomes a matter of disrespect for your boundaries and you might consider seriously whether or not even a [b]friendship[/b] is still possible. 🥺

If you have to ask if it’s a Red flag, you already know the answer

Huge red flag. Why is he trying to hide this?
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
Doesn't sound friendly at all. No good can come of this. Get away.

@Darksideinthenight2 Thank you, exactly my gut feeling
Run the other way, as fast and as far as you can, his intentions are evil.
