To think my friend totally cockblocked me

Cockblocked · 08/07/2016 17:36

Met a guy at the weekend whilst out with my mate. Didn't manage to change numbers, no worries it happens.

The next day she sent me a picture message of a message he had sent her on FB asking for my number (they have a mutual friend). She asked me if I wanted to give it to him and I said yes. A week passed and no fact, she even asked me twice if he had text.

Anyway I've just had a message from him on FB (not sure how as my FB is totally locked down, with my first name and middle name). He said he knows I didn't want to give him my number but wanted to message just in case I changed my mind.

I messaged back and said oh I told X to give it to you. He sent me a screenshot of their convo where she said oh I don't think she's up for it sorry!

She totally just cockblocked me didn't she?

Cuntshunt = cockblock?

HarryPottersMagicWand · 08/07/2016 19:48

She should never have responded to him before she had checked with you. She doesn't want to see you happy with a boyfriend when her marriage is shit. She wants you to stay single. No friend of yours then!

She knew she hadn't given him your number when she asked if he had texted. It was her pretence, one she thought she could get away with.

Theorchard · 08/07/2016 19:49

Op your friend is behaving very dodgily, hope you go on that date soon!

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 08/07/2016 20:05

Mmm I reckon she texted you twice to ask if he'd been in contact because she knew fine well he wasn't going to as she put him off and she was secretly enjoying knowing she was the reason why. Abit like when you read threads about how the friend is the OW and magically is always there as a shoulder to cry on as they get off on being so 'clever' and watching you suffer.

She sounds like a jealous, insecure teenager - I had (past tense) a friend like yours OP. It's always be about point scoring that they're prettier than you/can attract more men than you. She's tragic really.

Cockblocked · 08/07/2016 20:16

No I meant handsy as in violent. A real prick of the first order.

Readers, we have a date sex next Friday

Fucking hell I have now changed my opinion of your friend. Poor woman. She still shouldn't be acting like she has of course, but hell.

Nice work on your shagathon date next week Grin

Oh dear I am 50 and I know what cockblocked is Blush

MrsWorryWart · 08/07/2016 20:54

You really do learn something new everyday. I love MN Grin

Italiangreyhound · 08/07/2016 20:57

What an appalling term 'cockblocked' is!

It is also a term men use, so I'd avoid it.

Sounds like your friend doesn't want you to hook up with this guy. Wonder why.

VestalVirgin · 08/07/2016 20:57

Don't think "cockblocking" is the appropriate term.

But a friend who lies to me would not be my friend any longer.

Italiangreyhound · 08/07/2016 21:00

ClopySow "Cock blocked is used for either sex." but surely that is putting all the emphasis on the man!

holdinghands · 08/07/2016 21:06

I have a similar friend. I've moved to another part of the UK now and a few months ago, my friend texted to tell me an x of mine was in the pub and kept asking about me. She said he was wanting my number (the relationship ended when I moved away) so I said it was fine. A week later I hadn't heard anything so I texted my friend and told her I'd heard nothing yet. She replied saying she had decided not to give him my number and had taken his instead. Apparently she forgot to tell meHmm

Go on your date and have a fab time!

AnotherPrickInTheWall · 08/07/2016 21:28

Really?? This worries you? surely you are not desperate for ANY man.

AdultingIsNotWhatIExpected · 08/07/2016 21:29

Ah! I've had a friend who was like this times 10!

Was hard to be friends with her.. then I started telling her that I REALLY liked some random guy at the start of the evening.. and she'ld then spend the evening tit-thrusting him while I got to have a nice grope chat with the one I really liked

Was awful though, she'd dominate the conversation if she thought I was getting attention from a man and physically push me out of the conversation. And that just didn't feel nice because regardless of who got the mans attention, she was silencing me!

She was lovely (moved away so drifted apart anyway) if we were doing something female only.. but when men were around… it wasn't fun for me unless I tricked her by telling her I liked someone I didn't

ShebaShimmyShake · 08/07/2016 21:31

For a woman, the term is "clamjam". I didn't make it up, don't shoot the messenger.

KittensandKnitting · 08/07/2016 21:32

Term should be "Clit-blocked"

Good luck on the date next week OP :)

BabooshkaKate · 08/07/2016 21:34

Not RTFT.

I hope you and handsome stranger have a nice date and somewhere down the line decide to go away for a dirty weekend which will happen to be at the same place that your friend is, unknowingly, for her anniversary. You two stay up shagging all night and have a great time. You saunter out for breakfast and as you're leaving your room your friend comes out from next door, grumpy, sleep deprived and the remainder of last night's disappointing 20 seconds running down her thigh.

Shall I pursue a career in literature? Halo

MooPointCowsOpinion · 08/07/2016 21:39

Fan-dammed FTW.

Good luck on your date OP. Don't tell the cow face anything about it, she'll only turn up at the date half naked and lay across the table like an annoying needy cat.

MooPointCowsOpinion · 08/07/2016 21:49

DH suggests 'beaver dammed'

ClaireVoyante · 08/07/2016 21:57

She's no friend of yours. No way. So, when are you meeting this guy? :)

BMW6 · 08/07/2016 22:04

LOVE beaver dammed !

OP - as PP said, your "BF" is desperate for you to stay single because she is unhappy.
Call her on it - but she'll lie.
I'd keep her at arms length and well away from any romantic liasons. Might be worthwhile warning any fella you become more than interested in that she might try and scupper it........

pinkladyapple · 08/07/2016 22:21

I've known the term 'cockblocked' for years and I've lived in 3 different counties from one side of England to another, I didn't realise there were people who hadn't heard of it! lol

Have fun on your date. Send her pictures.

I think some of you need to read this dictionary. You're welcome. Wink

Is this why some women friends only ever want girls only nights out?

KatieKaboom · 08/07/2016 22:27

Flight of the Conchords using the term cockblock nigh on a decade ago. :)
