As i shared in this discussion: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2659572.aspx (not referral link) I did deleted his if ID from my friend list on Yahoo messenger but i didn't put his id into the ignore list yet. I didn't want to chat with him more but he still sent message to me everyday ask simple things such as how are you today? blah blah...When i said to him that all should be end in here, no friendship anymore, he was angry and told me plz, remove his id and he won't contact to me more. But in the next day, he sent message again as if nothing happened and he continues to talk with me about the weather, his living in here, his work, and ask about my day. I asked him, what does he want from me? he said he really can't stop to send message to me and he really want to invite me a cup of coffee for talking. He really need me as a friend in here. Currently his work place is very near my house. I know he is a foreigner in here and he has not many friends because not many people can speak English. So that i guess he got me who can speak a lots with him... Should i give him a chance to be my friend? Thanks in advance your advices.

O.k. I read the other thread. No I think you should delete him. I had a similar situation with countless people on yahoo messenger and answers. Especially on Literati which is like Scrabble on yahoo. There were many on there who would instant message you and say they just wanted to chat about the game and things. Two that were especially annoying were foreign. It wasn't long before the conversation would turn to personal questions. One was a woman and she could not get it through her head that I was not into her that way. And another guy with a wife wanted to know about my first personal experiences, I humored him with not many details and tried to drop it but he persisted each time asking again and again. Finally I had to block them both. From what you said, he is probably after more than friendship.

Since your friend is a foreigners ask yourself this: are you overreacting? Is it possible the difference in language does cause problems you would not have with someone who does speak the same language? English is not the language you grown up with so you will have different feelings for certain words as your friend has. But even if you both would speak the same language it's not always easy to understand what the other person really means. Also ask yourself why you only want to be friends with someone if everything goes easy. Don't you think a friendship can only be stronger if you have bad times as well? Aren't these times the way(s) to get someone known better, to find solutions to problems, to build trust and loyalty? It's up to you what you do, how much you want to invest in a relationship (which a friendship is as well). BTW your friend will keep mailing you till you put it to a halt. Which you are not doing since you keep answering each time again. So somehow I do believe you like this kind of attention also.

I am a soft person who don't want to be rude with another. He sent messages many times, sometime i don't reply also, but sometime i did reply...it is my cold chatting since his questions was so annoying to me. I understand your meaning but honestly his questions are really bad when he did ask me a lots about my body and personal things while i am a woman. I know he is quite lonely in here, working whole week till 9 pm every day so that he doesn't have many friends. but i really don't want to receive bad questions as what he did. He didn't ask such question more since i am not warm in chatting with him but he keeps to send message to me everyday...grrrr. i really don't understand him, what he wants from me...

after reading in your previously discussion, i think it depends on you.. maybe you can give him some certain requirement for accepting him as your friend again... give him several requirement maybe 1. don`t ask about the sensitive question to you 2. don`t ask about your family information or about your personall information.. or another question that you don`t like him.. if he do it again, you make sure that you will delete him again in ym list..

After reading the other link (other topic) It's up to you to decide. Whether everyone will tell you to delete him/ignore him/blocked him- if you won't- there is nothing anyone can do. This is like the others who ask advice and seek others opinions, but at the end of the day- it yours final decision that counts. So,it's up to you. If I am in your position- I should have blocked him and not just delete.

Ya, because i really don't want to be rude with him so that i really need your guys advices about this problem. You are right, finally i am a person who makes a final decision, but we still need advices from the others, right? because i am a person in this problem then i may blind, but your guys stand out side then you guys have a keen eyes on it. Thank you so much for your advice. Currently i am agree with you too, i have to block his id not only deleted it in my friend list.

Obviously, this guy is consistently annoying like me online, lol! Anyways, there should be caution on meeting up with someone you met online especially him insisting on talking about delicate issues such as the ones you described. If you want to give him a chance, then go meet him, but you need someone to come with you like a friend or a relative.

If you're instinct tells you not trust him, then you should just ignore him. Take him out of your friends list and forget about him. Although his thoughtful nice messages are something that intrigues you as you seem to be taken by sweet messages like that, then the option to meet him would answer all your doubts, just be sure you have someone with you, okidoki?

I deleted his id in my friend list already...:) I know he works till 9 pm and he used to suggest that the coffee meeting after 9:30 pm but i said never, i won't go out when it is too late. Today he suggested the coffee meeting in the showroom where he works near my house at 7 pm.

Hmmm, he is annoying i think. In the previous topic, many mylotters talk me that i should not be soft with him, being rude to return to him but i couldn't do like that. it is a reason why sometime i reply his asking such as how is my day, how am i,... Ya, you are right, i should go to meet him with one friend if i give him a chance...however, i still can't trust this guy...he is so complicated...

Bad Side: If you feel that it is awkward or you're pretty annoyed to his antics. Probably you can consider deleting him as a friend. Good Side: Well better talk to him at some time, not always of course. Probably he's totally bored and lonely at his place. But if he asks naughty questions, better not entertain him nor his questions. Have a good day.

Sounds like this guy is a stalker. I recommand going to the police if he continues to bother you. Don't give him a chance! He sounds like he is only trouble! Put him on you ignore list on Yahoo messenger! I would not trust him at all!

Please stay away from this person. I read the other discussion about you describing him asking you about personal questions. This person might think that you are just playing hard to get and might take advantage of you in the future when he thinks that you're already close to each other. Don't waste your time and effort with this person.

I don't think you should be his friend, a stranger, really. The other post you gave link, mm, you should never go meet him. You know he asked you really stupid questions and asked again on warning too. You should have never gave him chance, so don't give him chance. He can act any way while chatting. You know that, don't you?

Well, I think if he really annoys you or you're not comfortable with him, it is better for you to just put him in your ignore list.
