Guy's Behavior

Why is this guy I briefly dated still contacting me years later from new numbers?

Hi,

I met a man in 2024 and we dated for several weeks. I wanted an emotional connection before becoming physical, but throughout the relationship his communication was inconsistent and often left me questioning where I stood. Eventually the relationship ended (I sent a text saying it doesn't work for me in January 2025) , and over time I blocked his phone number everywhere and decided I did not want to reconnect with him.

He kept contacting me every few months. I've ignored it at first, eventually I responded saying I don't want to talk...

There was a brief period of time in September 2025 when I was extremely hurt after a break up. I've reached out to him but decided against it and said I've changed my mind and we shouldn't meet... I was really in pain back then. I didn't reach out to him since

Last message I sent him was in January 2026 saying we should stop contact and blocked him


Fast forward to now, July 2026, he sent me a message using his company phone number :


"Hi, this is a new UK number I'm using. I thought it would be a good chance to catch up, but totally understand if you still don't want to. Hope you are well.".


I replied that I did not want to reconnect and blocked him.


He later reached out though whatssapp instead:
"FYI—I've now moved to Spain and it's great here. Again I am sorry about how you felt before. I really did like you, I just wasn't ready yet after my previous relationship. But feel free to reach out whenever. X"
I sent a final message explaining how his behaviour had affected me, made it clear that I did not want any further contact, and blocked his company number on whatssapp as well.

Why did he reach out again? I've ignored countless messages by now. He is in Spain, what is the reason for this?
