What da fuck does this mean

Regular poster. NC.
Please help me understand why someone would do this. I am a weekly shopper at a well known supermarket. There WAS a worker there that would always smile at me, whilst blushing. Stare at me when not smiling, etc etc. I am still absolutely sure he liked me. I would look at him too but never really smiled back as I can be a little shy at times. I always went shopping with my ex as we have children together and he came along to pay for shopping. Most people would think we are in a relationship.
Anyway the said shop worker still continued to make it obvious he liked me. This went on for 2 years. So very recently i decided to make contact, found him on FB. I dont have a pic of myself on fb so when I messaged him, He obviously didn't know who I was.
After two days of messaging now and again I decided to send him a couple of my pics via messenger. i asked him his age, turned out he is only 21 and told him mine, 34. Then I msg him 'you are the same age as my nephew'. He Blocked me. HAHA.
Confused to why he would do that as me having children and a 'boyfriend' never put him off so what did.
I can assure you all he did like me, all the signs were there. He doesn't work there anymore..he got promoted and working in a different branch.
Just a little info about me, pretty inexperienced when it comes to relationships and no positive role models when growing up.

Well it's quite a large age gap isn't it? Especially when your 21. Maybe he thought you were younger. Or perhaps your comment about your nephew put him off - maybe he thought you were mocking his age? Plus 2 years of smiles in a supermarket perhaps he was just being friendly and you read it wrong?!

I am convinced I did not get it wrong. I know when someone is being friendly. He looked like a puppy in love 😂 I do look younger then my age. Good Skin, no wrinkles to speak of and I would say pretty attractive but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But perhaps he just liked the flirtation, perhaps he didn't actually want anything to happen. You won't know what his own home situation is would you?

mimibunz · 15/07/2018 22:04

Maybe he has a girlfriend now?

youbrokemytwatometer · 15/07/2018 22:05

Well maybe you having a “boyfriend” and kids didn’t put him off because you were messaging him, so if you didn’t care about that, why should he? Your age was obviously the issue.

ShatnersBassoon · 15/07/2018 22:08

The whole thing sounds like a non-starter. He looked at you once a week for two years, then you tracked him down on Facebook. It's a bit weird.

dirtybadger · 15/07/2018 22:11

Your comment about being your nephews age was maybe a tad rude or may have come across condescending. Or youre just too old for him. Or hes not into you. Or he was freaked out by you finding him on social media...although he was replying to start with. Did he know who you were all along?
He was 19 2 years old, does he look very old for his age?

I know youre adament he liked you, but I am sure lots of customers think I fancy them. And sometimes its probably obvious im really Blush with super phwoar men/women. But I would still be blocking them if they found me on social media (and I was single)

Lacymacy123 · 15/07/2018 22:13

kind of started to like him and because i am inexperienced in being in relationships I thought why not. I have nothing to lose.

Two years? So he was 19 when all this 'started'.

SoapOnARoap · 15/07/2018 22:15

I think he’s probably enjoyed the flirting but, that’s it

troodiedoo · 15/07/2018 22:16

Most likely he has a girlfriend now. Don't over think this.

Lacymacy123 · 15/07/2018 22:17

He looked around 23 when we first locked eyes😂. I look around 27. I came from a very dsyfunctional family so never know how to approach things correctly when it comes to forming friendships etc etx

Though age was not a problem for me as I am not capable of having a deep or meaningful relationship with anyone at the moment. It was purely for one thing Grin
