I don't like what you are doing.......not at all!

Always go with your gut feeling. My gut feeling has always been correct. To me, it sounds as if he may be a bot of a sicko so just delete him. You really do not need anyone like this in your life. Blank screen? No way. Delete, delete and delete again.

if you are uncomfortable then just stay away from him. just pretend nothing happened but dont let it happen again. dont let yourself be in the same situation.

yup, as fast as i can. if he makes you feel nervous or uneasy, what is the point of spending time with him and encouraging him?

Hi Jill, I have always, ALWAYS told my daughters, if you feel uncomfortable or uneasy in a strange way about anyone you're talking to, take heed, and remove yourself from the situation. Don't ever take chances and be sorry about it later thinking it's all in your mind. That is an inner warning and a sign to be "aware" of the situation. Your one sentence in particular "Do you think I am being too leary of what he might have been doing when he talked to me?" is your intuition letting you know something is not right. Go with it. I would not answer his phone calls or talk to him on Facebook. When you go to Facebook, keep yourself in the background. No one has to know you are online on Facebook and you can still talk to friends by IM or discussions without it showing you are there. Take care and be careful and if you feel you want to delete him, then do it. You have every right.

I believe life is too short to stay in contact with people you do not like or who make you feel negatively for whatever reason. Is there a way to block him without actually deleting him? Like I remember on the old AIM you could make it so that certain people on your contact list did not see you as online. I know you can do that on Facebook, but I don't use Skype so not sure if you can do it there. If you could do that, at least then you could avoid him without the drama of him wondering why you deleted him because he'll never know he was blocked.

If you feel uncomfortable, there is probably a very good reason. Those kind of feelings don't just show up out of nowhere without a reason...even if your not sure of what it is. I think we have certain instincts that get activated sometimes so my advice would be listen to them. If it were me, I might have hung up..or blacked my screen too. As a matter of fact, if I kept him on my contact list, everytime he called it would be black If he asks why just tell him it's a new thing your doing. Maybe he'll get the picture and leave you alone.

I wouldn't delete him as a contact but would have asked why his screen was black and asked if he was trying to hide something. If it was me, the next time he called I wouldn't take the call. Just pretend like you're not home. Does he want to be more than friends?

hi jillhill if it made you uncomfortable your gut instinct should be listened to. I know if I ignore mine I pay a price. A black screen sounds really weird, was he thinking to peep on you and you not know it but since you had on a robe that foiled that. I am thinking not nice thoughts about your ex sister inlaws brother but talking with a black screen is most weird .No not at all as if the man had nothiong to hide like maybe fondling himself then surely he would not need a black screen.I would delete him since he makes you uncomfortable.I know ont time a number years back my gut feeling told me no don't go to the store right now.I thought thats silly its a warm sunny day' and the stores only a block away. So I start out and here coming this huge galumphing dog of our land ladys and in trying to dodge him as he almost always almost knocked me off myfeet I tripped on the sprinkler head and down I went landing on my shoulder. I felt something tear and my husband came out to find me sitting holding my left shoulder.He called an ambulance and they took me to the er where my shoulder was xrayed, a small rotary cuff tear and they just gave me meds for pain and a shoulder sling and told me not to use it for six weeks and see my own doctor.that thank God was paid for by my insurance. this same shoulder now three years ago I feel again on a concrete walk , smashed the bones so badly had to have a shoulder joint replacement. the replacement did not take into account my rotor cuff was also torn so I never got back but a fou rth use of my left arm. if only I had not had that first fall I might not have had such a time this last time. now I listen to my dut instinct no matter how weird others think it is. If he makes y ou uncomfortable there is a good reason. delete him as a contact.

It may be as innocent as his turning his screen off as he didn't want to be seen with his hair uncombed! But there's normally a reason that we feel uncomfortable with someone, so trust your instincts and treat his calls with caution.

I don't think that I would be able to keep someone as a contact on any site if I don't feel comfortable talking to them. That said, I really don't have a lot of friends on facebook because I prefer to keep those people as people that I've either met in person or people that I've spent a lot of time with on various sites that I use on the web and when it comes to chatting on facebook, there are even fewer of those people that I will actually chat with.

If a person made me that uncomfortable, I would use a block/ delete option and report them if possible. Its not uncommon to be or have bad blood when relationships turn sour, but there is no excuse for making you feel uncomfortable. No one should do that in any way at all. That's just... rude and wrong. There was nothing wrong with signing off. I might have done the same thing. I don't like feeling uncomfortable, and no one is going to make me feel that way. If they do, then I'm going to do/say something. I'm not afraid to use the block button. And, you shouldn't be afraid of it either.

Yes I think your reading into it to much or too far though. (how bout bad lighting or bad connection....) So long as he aint daily or hourly. I wouldnt give it another thought! You somewhat family or rather long standing friends. Clear the air with him, ask him. "Are you trying to be interested, or be more than just friends"?..."Cuz I am Not interested in that"! Is a stern statement ! Hey maybe he read these and would write a response as well. Hope you dont mind I decided to post to your post!!!! lol yup maybe thats just it "bad connection" him not the technology Thankx for the read...take care
