Thread: Why tell me?

A guy I've liked for years and used to talk to a lot randomly stopped talking to me in December. He hasn't said a word since then, until out of the blue he messages me saying he's now living in my city and am I still living here?
I didn't reply straight away and then he instant messaged me with a message along the same lines. I asked him where he was looking for accommodation and he replied. I then delayed my response but eventually asked him what his new job was, and has he replied? No.
Why tell me you're in my city now and seem to want to start a conversation when you're not going to carry it on? Just to see if I'd reply?
Any ideas, or is he just being an annoying weirdo?

It depends on how long it took you to reply to his first text about if you were still living there . He may have taken the long " Silence" as you were unavailable, like in a relationship or something.
Asking about his accommodations, is a bit unusual, if he is new to the city, he might not have known the General Area by Sub Names, like in the Seattle area, there's East side, West, North, Downtown, U District, Waterfront,Denny Regrade, Ballard, Green lake and the list goes on, but they are all parts of Seattle.

Asking where he worked is also a bit upfront. Maybe he is living with relatives and or friends and hasn't a Job yet.

Then again if he knows you've liked him for awhile, maybe he just wants to pencil you in , in his Lil Black Book .

I wouldn't worry about it, I also wouldn't Text him again. If he's interested in seeing an old friend, he'll text you again. Just be casual, don't get too into his business or let him into too much of yours.

Let him ask the questions, keep your answers light and neutral. No need to answer exactly where you work, and if not in a relationship, the best answer is Keeping busy enjoying life on my own, Don't go into " I Dumped or got Dumped " by last relationship.
Those discussions can wait for later and also not give him any idea's Of " There's a Lonely Girl I can take advantage of ".
