Friend on PlayStation has fallen for me, how can I word it nicely I’m not interested?

[Anonymous]

I met this guy through another friend on PlayStation. He would only be on Saturday nights so we didn’t spend that much time together playing games plus we live in different countries so the time interferes. He would message me wanting to chat and I found out he’s disabled like wheelchair bound disabled. I felt sorry for him so I’ve always been nice and friendly but never at all flirty. I told him ages ago I live with my boyfriend so he knows I’m not single. I have him on Facebook but we don’t talk rarely unless it’s asking if I’ll be on PlayStation any other additional nights (I always say I’m not and appear offline)
Last weekend he started pushing for voice chat and I kept avoiding it.
finally gave in last night which to me was a huge mistake coz after only being on voice chat with him for maybe 30 mins after I made an excuse and left the voice chat. He’s now calling me his “online girlfriend” and shit.
How the hell do I nicely tell him that’s inappropriate? I never replied to him after that.
I’m 3 years older then him. I’m 29 and he’s 26 but I’m guessing due to his disability he’s never had a girlfriend and doesn’t have much luck.

Block him on everything

Tell him it’s inappropriate

As you suggested, he probably isn’t used to getting much attention from women or even really has access to meeting them due to his disability. I don’t envision him out at bars, clubs or places where people generally meet potential partners, aside from online dating. You’re probably one of the few women who’s given him any time of day and for that, I’m sure he’s enamored. You could begin pulling away, if you want to take the less direct route of rejection. Like hide when you’re online so you aren’t gaming together much, if at all, and eventually he should get the hint. You could also send him a message, reiterating that you have a boyfriend and it’s disrespectful for him to refer to you as his online girlfriend. Even what the other guy suggested could work, stating that you aren’t interested and if he doesn’t listen then block him. However, it all depends on the outcome you want, like maintaining a friendship or if you don’t care so much about that.

Ahhh yes. A simp.


I don’t get why so many dudes that play video games are this way. I myself own both and series X and ps4 but never ever have done this. I don’t understand the appeal

Tell him you are flattered but are not currently looking for a boyfriend. If he doesn't respect that then u can block him

Exactly in those words. Women adore being cruel assholes but it hits them back soon after (some guy abuses them back)
