I this a game?
September 23, 2016 at 11:08 am #566379kIt is a game…. they want you to message them. they want you to beg them. You don’t have to block them. It is so immature. Me and my ex never blocked each other or deleted our pics off social media. Not kids anymore.
September 23, 2016 at 11:09 am #566380JulesWhy are you reaching out to someone that made it very clear, they do not want to talk?
I don’t mean that to be rude but as a real question. To me, blocking someone is an extreme response. It says, “I do not want contact from you whatsoever”. Maybe s/he unblocked you because it seemed petty but they still maintain the feeling that they do not want contact.
You can’t make someone talk to you so your best course of action is to move on.
September 23, 2016 at 11:14 am #566382ShannonIf the medium in question is Facebook, if you unblock someone just to check up on them, Facebook will not allow you to block them again for another 48 hours. This feature was added because a lot of teenagers (and probably adults, as well) was ublocking people, sending them a nasty message, and then blocking them so they couldn’t respond.
It’s possible the person was just being nosy and unblocked you and then couldn’t block you back right away.
September 23, 2016 at 11:14 am #566383Amanda RocksWhy you chasing up a guy that has blocked you ? safe to say this guy is not interested and you need to move on and get your dignity back. Take his number out of your phone and move on. x
September 23, 2016 at 11:36 am #566388JayI’m not begging or chasing. He blocked me over somethings stupid. When I noticed I was unblocked in less than a month. “I sent a friend request and a message letting him now I was here if he wanted me in his life he could put me there, if not that is fine too. I will always be here if he needs a friend. If I don’t hear from him then I will have my answer. Then I wished him the best of luck no matter what happens.” The friends request is pending and that was over a week. I did not chase or beg. I was blunt straight to the point and left it in his hands.
I just don’t understand why you would block someone then unblock them with no intention of talking to them To me it makes more since if your not going to talk to them to leave them blocked or even deny their friends request.
Its been three weeks I have been unblocked by the way. Not 48 hours. It was right after he broke up with his girlfriend he went back to after he got mad at me.
September 23, 2016 at 11:58 am #566395RavenHe’s shown you who he is, in very large letters & you still want to be in his circle… Why?
September 23, 2016 at 12:12 pm #566402YukiIs it possible that he unblocked you to check up on you because he broke up with his gf, then didn’t feel the need to block you cuz he didn’t care if he sees your posts? I would probably get curious about an ex after a breakup too…to see if there’s any potential…but that’s just theories tho.
Btw I don’t usually deny friend requests either and just leave it there. So he might have the same habit.I know people that would just block someone because of random stuff, but personally it’s too much drama and shows that you care…like I can still ignore you without blocking. Like k said…no blocking or deleting. Just simply not caring.
September 23, 2016 at 12:15 pm #566404YukiOh so you’re not his ex? Still the same. Probably it’s just there’s no reason to keep you blocked, but no interest in talking.
September 23, 2016 at 12:25 pm #566405Amanda RocksI still think it screams leave me alone but hey ho keep putting time and energy into someone like this if you must.
September 23, 2016 at 12:33 pm #566407Omi Gwhy would you friend request someone who blocked you? HE sounds really immature. I would not want to talk to anyone who blocked me for something stupid. To each their own I guess.
September 23, 2016 at 2:25 pm #566433MariaBlock, unblock..find someone who is over 12 please.
September 23, 2016 at 3:21 pm #566443Amy SOh my youre not really one for taking a hint are you.
September 23, 2016 at 4:04 pm #566451SunDoesn’t anyone have any pride?
September 23, 2016 at 4:26 pm #566459VanessaExactly what I was thinking, Sun. Someone blocks me, they’re not getting a message from me and then this worry of why they haven’t responded. You told him if you don’t hear from him, you have your answer. So there’s your answer.
September 23, 2016 at 4:35 pm #566460ShannonI unfortunately had to learn this the hard way…if someone won’t give you the time of their day, they’re not worth the time of yours.
September 23, 2016 at 6:57 pm #566493AdviserSeems you are still hurting that he went back to his ex. Seems you have feelings for this dude, and want to be in some kind of relationship with him.
You have given away your power and dignity by sending him that long drawn own out message. Regain it by moving on.
He may very well reach out to you when things are not good with the girlfriend, but you would only be helping him out of boredom.
August 13, 2017 at 8:27 pm #647898JessicaI was very close to this boy we use to always talk on the phone at night and he used to say hi bubsy and call me names to tease me. He would ask me who my crush is and am I going out with anyone. I liked the attention but I didn’t have a crush on him I thought of him as just a friend though my family thought otherwise. One day he dared me to add him on a group chat and invite my friends so I did and then he instantily started calling my friends and texting them. Before he did that he told me he was going to and I said don’t they will just swear at you since they don’t know you. But he did and they swore at him telling him to f off. He told me he was gonna call the cops which I thought was extremely dramatic and then he said he was gonna block me. He blocked me a minute later I just thought he was extremely dramatic and childish. A week later he unblocked me. I received a bunch of no caller id calls and I answered and the person had a fake accent calling me baby etc. I think he called me on no caller id but I’m not sure and I find it interesting how as soon as the boy unblocked me I got four no caller ids in a day. He obviously wants attention and he made it obvious that he doesn’t wanna talk so I wont talk to him unless he changes his personality and apologises for his misbehaviour.
January 27, 2019 at 5:15 pm #737662MNI started talking to this guy I met on a dating app. He was visiting for a couple of days. We didn’t get to meet because he got busy with some work and he was traveling back the next day. We continued to talk after he left. I liked talking to him. He lives in another state. So after 2 weeks of texting, I asked him what was on his mind and if he is not really expecting something out of this then it is not worth our time to continue to text. Basically I wanted to know if he was interested or not as I was planning to visit him. He said he was interested and then a few minutes after that he blocked me on iMessage. I sent him a message on WhatsApp a few days after saying if he was not interested he should have just said that and ended things in a decent way, there was no need to block me. He didn’t respond to that. Then 3 weeks later he messaged on WhatsApp saying he didn’t block me actually but that I was behaving in a very impatient and masculine way. Truth is he did block me on iMessage. Now, I know I shouldn’t have responded to him but I did (yes I am a fool). I assumed he thought I was getting impatient because I had asked him if he was interested so in my response I just tried to clarify why I had asked him if he was interested. He didn’t respond to me. I waited for 3 days, no response, so then I told him it’s disappointing that he is someone who likes the drama of going silent and also lies. He read my message, didn’t respond and then deleted my number.
I am annoyed because I shouldn’t have responded to him when he messaged me. Also why doesn’t he just say he is not interested and end it as a mature human being or my expectations are misplaced? I am so tempted to msg him and vent out but I guess that won’t be a sensible thing to do :-(January 27, 2019 at 8:27 pm #737688EmmaYou can’t get upset over every dork. Let it go!
Next time do not “talk” to men who are long distance. All this “tlaking” ends in nonsense. Why look for someone far away? ask yourself this. And do not respond nex time when they approach you.
January 28, 2019 at 1:46 am #737726tammythere is this funny incident I must share. I interacted with a guy from another country who was down in my city for work purpose. we had a common ground bec the client he was servicing in my city, were my ex employers. we chatted a bit. but couldn’t get around to meeting. he couldn’t get the time. the next month he was in my city, he again couldn’t get time to meet. but thereafter he kept up with good morning messages. I thought that was silly. so told him that when he comes down to my city, hes too busy to meet. so is there any point to acting like my daily morning rooster and cooing good morning every day? he stopped messaging after that.
when I generally sent some forward some days later he told me o hey.. I thought you didnt want to keep in touch anymore. I told him nope. just that daily good morning messages wasn’t what I wanted. anyway to cut a long story short, he was in my city last week. and asked me if we could meet. On meeting him, it was ok.
we chatted for a couple of hours. and then he suddenly said he has a sudden concall which he must attend to. In an indirect way cutting the evening short. I was pissed. he made a move early on but I kind of didn’t lean into it. It was too soon. he probably realised I wasn’t going to jump into bed with him and so made some excuse to cut the evening short. I felt silly but the guy was a douche. when I got home I asked him what was that? he just blocked my number! I did say what I wanted to say by messaging him from my other number. just one message.
he blocked me on the other number as well. he just wanted a one night stand and when he realised that’s probably not gonna happened he blocked me.
just shrug it off and move on. you meet all sorts. if he has blocked you, and then unblocked you, let him then make the first move and take it from there.January 28, 2019 at 2:23 am #737730MNYou are right Emma, there’s no next time for him. This is over.
Tammy, that guy was definitely a douche. Thanks for sharing your story! Some people just lack basic courtesy and I have realized that courtesy is an inherent quality. level of education or money cannot be used as an indication for how someone will behave. The guy I was texting with is highly educated but unfortunately is impulsive and immature.
January 28, 2019 at 2:34 am #737731tammyu bet MN. this douche wanted to meet me despite not even knowing what I looked like. I found that strange. so told him. he infact told me doesn’t that also mean I am looking for more than looks? some depth as well in the woman? he caught me offguard. and I thought well yeah that’s good. but he turned out just like the rest.. hahah
