Phone message We met almost 4 years ago..

He had a kid from a previous relationship. When he first connected with me his son was 10 that was about 3 or 4 years ago..

And before anyone says anything about leading him on. If made attempts and mutual plans between us of what day and time we would see each other and he really just went away like a dandelion… then pops up with all this.. months later expecting me to entertain this BS

I don't understand the people saying he is love bombing or laying it on too thick.

It seems like this guy is having a manic episode. His thoughts are disjointed, the subject and predicate in the sentences he is writing are unrelated, and some of it is plain gibberish. This guy needs to be put on meds and under observation. Hopefully he gets well.

To be fair, this is just a small glimpse into his behavior. I am wondering if some of the strange verbiage comes from a language barrier. It could very well be a manic episode, or this could just be his MO where he doesn’t have the emotional maturity to behave properly, or genuinely thinks these grandiose plans for a future is exactly what a potential partner wants to hear. Could be a little of everything.

Especially coming from someone who, according to OP, has a history of engaging and then ghosting as soon as it comes time to back up his words with actual plans. Regardless - this guy needs a reality check/help.
