I tried sending him a selfie to be cute on his number that he initially texted me on when we first started talking. When we met in person when we first met, he had mentioned that his phone number now is a result of a previous divorce/relationship where he ended up changing his number to his now number.
Well fast forward to today, a couple days ago I had received a text from a number I didn’t recognize without any identifiers in the message saying “hey sexy”. Mind you I have been receiving weird spam texts on my phone for awhile now from strange numbers I dont even know how they got my number so I responded to this one like I did with all the strange numbers: “Wrong number”.
I ended up blocking the number for a couple days now I haven’t heard back from the guy on the message thread we’ve been chatting through. I sent the picture and it said “fail to send”. I don’t understand why this guy wouldnt tell me he changed his number? I don’t even know if the new number is even him to confirm since it hasn’t responded either.
Im getting a bit stressed out because I either blocked his new number he texted me on and rejected him or he outright ghosted me. I texted both the numbers again to ask if it is him to confirm. Am I in the right to be stressed out and ultimately upset if he did? This is three phone numbers in total now if it IS him…. he’d be a bit messy. Especially since the last thing he mentioned to me he was going through a life change/event going on.
I had been busy for a couple days with school work thinking he was busy with his life change to respond to our original text thread.
tl:dr i rejected/blocked strange phone number text i got that might have been guy I am trying to get with.

If he ghosted, it’s his loss. If he didn’t, his life is messy and full of red flags, so I would run if I were you anyway.
Ew, he’s probably still married and using a burner to avoid being busted.
Saying hey sexy without introducing yourself when you’re using a new number would be weird as fuck and I think most women would find that creepy. If it is him, he fucked up, but he has your number, even though you’ve blocked that number, he could call you from another phone or a landline or anything and explain if he wanted to but he hasn’t made any effort. Hey sexy is the least effort thing you could send someone you’re just flirting with, from a new number as well, to start with. I would stop chasing him at this point.
And if it is him, yeah, three different numbers is pretty weird as well. Multiple red flags.
I’d personally hide your number and ring both numbers then if he picks up talk is someone else answering then hang up because then you know either 1. Someone else answed his phone on his behalf or 2. It was a spam number.
JFYI, you shouldn’t respond to any spam/scam texts at all because all you’re doing is telling them that the number is indeed active and they will try again in a few weeks/months if it really was a scam 😀
If a guy 10 years older than you can’t figure out that the error was on his part, I wouldn’t worry too much about this “loss”. But you also shouldn’t just block numbers in case anyone wants to clarify.
