Ordinaryday Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 What makes you block someone on Facebook? Awhile ago I got deliberately approached by a woman who lives in my area and we started chatting on facebook, we had a lot of things in common, we joked around, and everything seemed cool and I wake up this morning and find out she has blocked me on fb - I know she blocked me and simply did not deactivate, because I have a fake account and when I searched for her under the fake account she is still there. I am not all that cut up about it, because I have learned from YEARS of experience that people often go cold on you unexpectedly after seeming all into you and whatnot but it is strange - there was no fight, no argument, NOTHING and I wake up this morning and see that the girl I was chatting with excitedly just last night (and judging from her responses she seemed interested) has blocked me. Like I said, I am used to this behaviour, I know people 'flake out' a lot and whatnot (that's why my friends warned me to NEVER get my hopes up when speaking to a girl UNTIL YOU HAVE MET IN PERSON because my friends warned me they could flake out at the absolute LAST MINUTE - which they have done to me) but what are the common reasons a girl would act all interested in me one day and then block me the next?

Taramere Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I've done that a couple of times, as a result of vitriol/drama from the people concerned. My days of tolerating that kind of crap are over. I can't see myself blocking anybody for any reason other than that they were being aggressive/vitriolic/going out of their way to bring unnecessary stress and drama into my life. Can't speak for others though. Blocking somebody for no reason strikes me as being a bit odd. Maybe she was hoping you'd ask her out after she made her initial approach to you, and blocking you was a way of managing her sense of rejection when you didn't? Childish, but people often are childish if they feel rejected in some way. Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, I get into lots of 'fun debates' on news pages on facebook and although I don't believe I say anything outright offensive, I have learned over the years that everyone is at a different stage in life and no matter how hard you try, you are bound to accidentally offend someone somehow, by saying something that they take the wrong way, even if you are not outright trying to be rude/offensive. It has happened to me a lot. A few years ago I lost another girl because she took some comment I said about the army (I was saying I supported females in the army) the wrong way and she attacked me saying I was trying to get women killed. I NEVER EVER meant that but she took it that way. You can't control how other people feel, you just have to accept it. I may have offended her without realising it but that's life. I am annoyed over it but what can I do? Link to post Share on other sites
