He blocked me as he thought I had blocked him. I hadn't. My phone was off so his messages were on a single tic.
I had called time on a ridiculous situationship and he agreed. He has nothing to offer at the moment.
So he unblocked me when he realised his error but hasn't added me back.
Would it look pathetic for me to add him back or will I wait until he does it, if he will?

Just leave it, what does it matter, he's a waste of time

Conkersinautumn · 26/08/2023 09:25

It all sounds very childish, life's too short to give this headspace!

CruCru · 26/08/2023 09:26

I think I’m too middle aged for this question. If someone gets into a huff and blocks you then they probably aren’t going to add much to your life. Move on.

Tothemoonandbackx · 26/08/2023 09:26

Honestly, if he's got nothing to offer at the moment, and he goes to the length of blocking you because he 'thinks' you've blocked him. Just leave it. It's really just not worth the effort. Save your time for someone who's not that petty.

KezzaMucklowe · 26/08/2023 09:27

I would leave it too. It just seems like a lot of unnecessary drama.

somethingelsematters · 26/08/2023 09:27

I was cringing typing as I know it sounds childish but I would like to keep in touch casually.
I guess considering he blocked me originally , I may look pathetic adding him back.

Damn I miss the days when my problems were like this. Reminiscing over the drama caused by one missing tick.

😂 just leave it. He's a Grade A Dingbat

If you're addicted to the drama and attention you'll just re-add him anyway.

(We've all been there but try to do better)

TeaKitten · 26/08/2023 09:29

You would look sad adding him back yes. Unless you are 15 you are too old for this. Move on and don’t make yourself look silly.

JudgeRudy · 26/08/2023 09:29

This sounds incredibly infantile. Why does anyone need to do anything. I'm going to guess you two were friends/acquaintances and became fuck buddies, or maybe you were his side gal. Either way it wasn't what you wanted so you've just gone back to friends. If you want to contact each other you can right?

somethingelsematters · 26/08/2023 09:33

I was his rebound as much as that kills
Me to say it.
Nothing deliberate to hurt me but he has nothing to offer as he is still feeling shit about breaking up with his girlfriend.
Not a bad man and we were good friends since.

Well you weren’t because he used you and then blocked you…

All this teenage drama is pathetic. Just cut out the chance of any future drama and block him then move on.

ToughFuss · 26/08/2023 09:37

Yes, it would be somewhat pathetic to add him back. Just let it go.

Hibiscrubbed · 26/08/2023 09:41

For Christ’s sake, don’t ‘add him back’. He’s using you and has no respect.

GRex · 26/08/2023 09:43

Instead of fretting about this, try dating someone who likes you and wants a relationship, it's a game changer.

somethingelsematters · 26/08/2023 09:43

I needed to hear this, this morning. He's not on it much but just didn't know for the best. I've accused him of using me. He vehemently disagrees. Said it was because his situation went from bad to worse and he couldn't commit to anything, all true.
Still feels shit and that he hasn't added me back really is not a good sign.

OP posts:
TeaKitten · 26/08/2023 09:55

Time to move on from it then. He’s unblocked to see if you are still hanging on and if you are gona request his friendship again. Please don’t give him the satisfaction.

Beezknees · 26/08/2023 09:58

You sound like you have feelings for him and you can't be friends with someone you have feelings for. A clean break is best.

somethingelsematters · 26/08/2023 09:58

Thanks. I'm not going to add him.I want to but I'd feel pathetic.

I thought the same! 🤣

Honestly, OP. It's pointless. Why would you even want him to add you again? Why are you giving it headspace? Just ignore and move on.

Dabadumm · 26/08/2023 10:00

He blocked me as he thought I had blocked him. I hadn't.
That's either bollocks or he's a complete drama llama. Do you want to be with either of those? Realistically it might be because he's wanting to get with his ex and doesn't want his fling on fb. Do not add him back, just move on.

somethingelsematters · 26/08/2023 10:02

I'm not sure whether I have feelings for him or not. I'm kind of confused.
He comes across like this really would
Decent man but the bottom line I am, logistically and practically, it's a non runner.
It's strange. I have been the one to initiate text contact as a friend and he responds eagerly and we have many exchanges and I always tie them up but I think he has been stringing me along to feed his ego.
We had hoped to meet up in a couple of months to see where we are at but he's told me after nearly two months that nothing much has changed.

It’s not meant to be this hard. Move on.

somethingelsematters · 26/08/2023 10:04

I think that having no trace of him in my
Life or on line may be the way to go. A clean break. I think I might just get rid him on all platforms and maybe be on without constant reminders of him.
He is a drama llama. It follows him everywhere he goes in every area of his life.
