Why fear?

Bc a person who i’ve never seen before is saying “love ya” to me
For all I know he could be a pedo

I tell most of my friends "love ya", but really just in the way you would a sibling or another close friend or family member.

I know, but it makes me very uncomfortable. I’ve been harrassed on the internet before, and it started with simple convos like that, with subtle signs of affection from the person. I’ve explained to him that I’m not comfortable with him saying it, but he doesn’t listen.

Just tell him to memechat me
I'll deal with him

Block him. No is no.
