> [@Ambivalid](#): > > While no explicit requests for dick pics were made, this wasn’t exactly unsolicited. While true, if the OP doesn’t want any more dick pics then he shouldn’t be subjected to any more dick pics. OP - this guy sounds like a rapist/abuser/stalker/all around bad guy with a heavy veneer of “nice”. Listen to your gut and stay the hell away from him. ---

I’ve been around a while and have learned to listen to “my gut”. Used to be when I didn’t always regretted later. ---

Repeat after me “Good-bye.” Say it till Tom gets the message. ---

I think those are what set off my warning bells. It just sort of crept up and I couldn’t put my finger on what it was.
