Is this harrassment?

I was speaking to someone on an online dating app about a year ago, we exchanged numbers and carried on talking but it never went anywhere so I just ghosted the other person and never heard from them again. I also deleted their number.
A few months ago I started getting messages saying "hello" or "how are you?" that sort of thing but just kept ignoring them as I didn't recognise the number and just deleted the messages straight away as I thought it could have been a wrong number.
Another few months went by and I forgot about these messages, yesterday I get a text saying "hi long time no speak" so I message this person back asking who they are. They tell me it is the person I was talking to about a year ago. To be polite I send a few messages back and forth but then also tell them I am now in a relationship. The other person wasn't aggressive or anything like that but in the end I just decided to block them to make my life easier.
Does all what has happened class as harrassment? The other persons messages weren't aggressive or anything just literally saying hello but over a period of a few months.

Er, no.

So now that I've blocked their number I should just leave it at that? There is no point in me reporting them?

A handful of polite, unsolicited messages is not harassment. Especially as you engaged with them previously and again more recently.

So because I spoke to them a year ago and then again yesterday means they haven't done anything wrong by messaging me numerous times in between?

it's not enough to be considered harassment, but i get it.
sorry that people are being so judgemental in the comments. some people just don't get it. 'oh its bad to ghost people'. but usually when you tell guys that you're not interested and want to stop talking to them they either just get more pushy or get straight up angry.
i always ghost or block too

Am I wrong? I obv think ghosting is a coward move but I'll grant sometimes it may be the best choice, but I stand by the logic that if you ghost someone you have little complaint if they don't read your mind or take the invisible hint, that's what you get when you aren't straight with people.
Likewise, to consider causing them to be arrested or investigated because you lack the nerve to just say you're not into them and don't want to keep talking is s a total **** move.

have you ever tried telling a man no when they're into you? sure, like a lot of guys are normal and will move on, like any sane person would. but some guys are straight up crazy and refuse to 'give up' because they like a challenge of whatever. some will get straight up mad and start accusing you of leading them on or worse. they don't want to hear the truth. they don't want to be told 'hey i'm not actually into you' because it hurts their pride
so yeah, i absolutely don't see ghosting as wrong... imho, ghosting in itself is the biggest hint you can give someone.
but yeah a few texts isn't enough to report someone, that's for sure

Again, I'm not asking why you would ghost someone, I'm pointing out that it's the deliberate opposite of clear communication and you have to take some responsibility for that.
