I think I'm being groomed

yah the title is self explainatory 

anyways there's this guy on roblox (ik lol)

he's like 17 i am significantly younger than him, he (jokingly?) used to "flirt" with me

the thing is I did tell him im much younger but he just said sum like "its just a _ year difference"

idk if he was joking but for sum reason i feel guilty? like it feels like i was asking for it or something


also im really disgusted in myself for not feeling weirded out or anything i genuinely feel comfortable with him and i feel yucky and gen disgusted

In agreement with the other commenters here - if somebody does not listen to your clearly set boundaries, then they will likely continue to try to push them.
None of this is your fault. Not a bit of it.
If this person continues to ignore your boundaries, I encourage you to block them. In the grand scheme of the internet, the block button was created for a reason. As I've gotten older and settled into adulthood, I use it much more liberally. Don't be afraid to set hard boundaries like that with people online - their hurt feelings are not worth more than your sense of safety.

If someone much older than you is flirting and making you uncomfortable with their words or actions they are actively grooming you even if they aren’t a legal adult yet
But don’t worry it’s really not your fault even if you feel that way
If you’re only internet friends then just block him or ghost him because many groomers won’t just stop if you tell them that you’re uncomfortable
Please stay safe and have a great day/night bless you!

For starters; *this is not and never will be your fault*. I am going to assume that you're under sixteen and that the legal age for consent within your country is sixteen. Under this assumption - even if it is "joke flirting", it is still illegal and in the eyes of the law, "grooming".

You obviously do not want to end the friendship you have going on with this person, so I suggest setting clear boundaries. No flirting, joking or not, and whatever else you want to stop/avoid. If this person disregards your boundaries, it would be better to cut them out of your life, which is easier said than done but better for you and your wellbeing in the long run.

I wish you the best, bud.
