Dear Lala,<\/b><\/p>\n
I matched with a guy on the apps who lives in another European country. We\u2019ve been chatting and getting on well and there has been an exchange of sexual messages (normally not what I do, but knowing he was in a different country made me think nothing was going to come of it). He has booked a flight over to see me in a few weeks and I\u2019ve since gotten the ick because all he does is talk to me in a sexual way. I feel like I wanted to see him and was really up for a date and a bit of fun but the way he\u2019s speaking now is grossing me out. Am I wrong for just blocking him knowing he has a flight booked over here? I never ghost because I know how it feels but I\u2019m scared to tell him I\u2019m not feeling it.<\/p>\n
Lala says….<\/b><\/p>\n
Yes, it would be wrong for you to simply block him without word in this context. In most circumstances if a man was speaking to you in a way that felt disrespectful or overtly sexual, I\u2019d say that you\u2019re well within your rights to block, delete and move on without any explanation. However, because of the fact that initially you were equally up for sexual conversations, it\u2019s not disrespectful or inappropriate for him to think it\u2019s OK to continue to be sexual.<\/p>\n
It is perfectly acceptable for your boundaries or feelings to change though, and it sounds like there is good reason for the change. Even if you\u2019re just seeing someone as a potential hook up it\u2019s good to have conversations that aren\u2019t just sex based. Especially if you\u2019re about to be in a situation where someone is flying out to see you. It\u2019s important to also have a bit of a connection outside of sex so that things aren\u2019t awkward and weird when you presumably meet for your first drink or whatever. It is really off-putting when there is no depth or range to a conversation and a constant focus on sex can become such an ick.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been in situations like this where it feels OK to talk about sex a bit because you were horny and it just felt right, but then the next day you\u2019ll be in a completely different frame of mind, having a cup of tea with your Nan and then a text comes through from them saying something like: \u201cI\u2019m hard\u201d and it instantly icks you. <\/p>\n
It can\u2019t just be sexting all the time, there has to be balance and an acknowledgement that sometimes you need to chill on the sexual front a bit. He seems to have gone quite full on and it sounds as though there is no coming back from this ick. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s grossed you out, but he hasn\u2019t actually done anything nasty or abusive. It sounds like he thinks that you\u2019re still up for that kind of chat, if he\u2019d been knowingly violating your boundaries, then you wouldn\u2019t owe him an explanation and ghosting would be fine, but he hasn\u2019t, so I do think you owe him a conversation.<\/p>\n

Especially because he has paid money for flights, it would be decent of you to give him the opportunity to cancel his flights and get a refund. It would be quite cruel to simply ghost and block. It is completely understandable that you feel nervous about telling him, but I think it\u2019s just one of those things where you have to pull up your socks and do it. Tell him the truth, tell him that you felt equally into the sexual talk at the start but it\u2019s since become a bit much for you and you\u2019ve had a change of heart.<\/p>\n
Tell him that you\u2019re really sorry but that you are not up for meeting up anymore. And then stand firm. He might take it well, or he might guilt trip you and react badly. That\u2019s the point at which it would become OK to block him. You only need to explain yourself once, if he doesn\u2019t take it on board and messages become argumentative then you can absolutely block, delete and move on and take this as a lesson to not rush into plans and commitments with people you\u2019ve never met before when you\u2019re in a state of horniness and flirtation. It\u2019s nearly always a bad idea.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
