To think this is suspicious

Hi,

I’ve recently got chatting to a guy who I have known for years. Mutual friends and seen him around etc. We’ve arranged to meet up soon. I had a look on Facebook and Instagram and realised I had him on both of them but I didn’t look on his profile. I then went on the day after but it appears he’s blocked me on both of them. Does this seem like he’s trying to hide something from me? Why would he do that?

I'd assume the date is off! if not definitely don't waste your time with him.

Saoirse82 · 14/10/2021 00:20

Definitely a red flag!

Sunflower300719 · 14/10/2021 00:21

Sorry, forgot to add. We are still chatting over text and date appears to still be on so I don’t understand why he has blocked me from seeing his social media’s

I’d meet up with a mutual friend and have a snoop via their account. Highly suspicious behaviour!

I wouldn't waste another minute on him. Why on earth would he block you from his SM? There's no good reason why, that's for sure. NEXT.

If you didn't look at his profile before maybe you have been blocked for a longer period of time? Could he have just deactivated the profiles?

If not, I'd assume he is married or in a relationship and doesn't want you to post or tag anything onto his page.

NiceGerbil · 14/10/2021 00:32

If you've known him for years and mutual friends etc and had his SM till the other day, you would/ could know about anything surely?

That's really odd behaviour.

I'd just say I thought I'd look at your Instagram to see what you've been doing since last saw you and I can't see it fit some reason. Has it gone wrong?

Innocently.

See what he says!

Sounds dodgy so would be fun to see what he comes up with!

NiceGerbil · 14/10/2021 00:34

Log out and look for him, might come up? If he's not got locked down and just blocked you.

I didn't even know you could block someone from looking at your Instagram! Messaging etc yes. If private why unfriend instead..

I'm not on insta much though!

Sounds odd

Helpimfalling · 14/10/2021 00:47

Check from somebody' else's
In case

QueenBee52 · 14/10/2021 00:50

Yes.... Block 🌸

WorriedGiraffe · 14/10/2021 00:53

Are you sure he’s not deactivated his social media?

WhereIsMumHiding3 · 14/10/2021 01:20

Ok. I'm not sure it's definitely anything sinister
You could always ask mutual friends if he is genuinely single/ not in a relationship if that's worrying you

If I had a date with a long ago friend who I still had on fb and IG, I think I might temporarily change my privacy
It'd take me at least a year to want my partner on my fb friends list,

I'd hate to have the first part of dating someone spoilt by their looking through all my posts and photos for 10 years plus. It's potentially too intrusive and different as old friends aren't generally tempted to go hunting through all your posts etc

I'm single so it wouldn't be for nefarious reasons other than I like to get to know someone without any cyber stalking potential
