i think i am going to have to block this guy's number. we met in 2012, we were fwb. everything was cool until he just started acting like a giant ass. about 6 months ago, i told him i don't want to see him anymore and he fussed me out over text. he texted me so many times that day i had to turn my phone off. i didn't hear from him for months after that, but lo and behold, he has started up again. he works out of town alot and every time he comes back into town, he starts back with the texting like crazy. i keep telling him that it's not going to happen but he just won't move on. ignoring his texts doesn't work, he just keeps texting. yesterday he called 5 times in a row. if i block his number, will he know it? will he get some kind of message that says "this person has blocked you." LOL. i am just scared that if he knows i blocked his number, he will start doing crazy sh*t. i wish i had never met him.

it's funny how he was treating me like crap, acting like he didn't want to be bothered but as soon as i tell him i don't want him anymore, he acts like this.

You'll be fine if you block him, he'll never know that's what you did unless you tell him so. There are no notifications or anything for the other party.

I will never understand why someone who LIKES you treats you like crap. Seems really common. SMH

Tell him: What we had will never be again and please stop contacting me because you're scaring me.

If you block him, he won't be getting a reply so he is likely to think you are really ignoring him (or he could conclude you blocked him).

If you think that won't be enough to deter him, then you may need to file a report of harassment, or seek a stay away order/order of protection.

I think it's only right to ask him to stop contacting you first.

Since you already made it clear it is over with him, I think you are beyond just blocking his phone number, perhaps a restraining order might be in line?

In case there is any confusion on his part about mixed messages or whatever, send him one firm text that tells him clearly that you do not wish to ever speak to him again and for him to never contact you. Then block him and stick to it. If he continues to pursue you, ignore him and escalate to an order of protection if you feel threatened.

I have a free app on my phone (used it on Android and iPhone) called YouMail, and you can "block" calls, which are then played a certain message. The one I picked is the recording of a real out-of-service message: "DOO-DEE-DEE, this Verizon number is no longer in service." It really works.

Look, you already told this guy you didn't want to see him again. Do you have any records of you asking him to leave you alone? If not, send him a text that says you don't want to hear from him again and that you will contact the police. The second he sends you something further, you go to the cops for a restraining order. Take the records with you of his previous messages and whatnot.
