Does he keep blocking me?

Been chatting to this guy I met off online dating. Spoke on the phone but that’s it. Not sure if I’m 100% into it. He rang me last night but I was asleep and missed his call. I didn’t reply to his WhatsApp till around midday. I saw his profile pic had disappeared and last message I sent just showed one tick.

This happened yesterday as well.

Is he blocking me? Then unblocking to see if I’ve replied? Weird behaviour and I should nip it in the bud if he’s blocking me.

I’ve straight out asked him and he’s denying it.

We have a lot in common so don’t want to cut it off if he’s telling the truth. But also think I could be talking to an online dating weirdo who’s getting petty I’m not replying straight away.

Yes . If you can't see their profile pic , then they've blocked you

WarmestRoomInTheHouse · 31/12/2020 14:51

Looks that way.

Maybe he blocks you when you don't reply soon enough? Or to stop himself from over checking? Or to manage his own expectations?

Tbh, none of those are particularly great...

Maybe he's not single? Doesn't want you replying when his wife is around......

Custardcream67 · 31/12/2020 15:00

He’s just denied it then changed the subject. Think I’ll be ignoring him then. Expect to be blocked again soon 😂

Likely he’s in a relationship so he’s blocking you or deleting the app and reinstalling it so that he doesn’t get rumbled.

When you block then u block on whatsappyou don't get anyessages sent whilst the person was blocked. Does he respond to what you've said whilst you think you're blocked?

JM10 · 31/12/2020 15:49

Sorry for the awful typing 😳

EvenMoreFuriousVexation · 31/12/2020 15:56

He's definitely blocking and as a PP I suspect he's not single.

Custardcream67 · 31/12/2020 16:01

JM10 no I’ve only seen a message from him appear when his profile pic reappears again

He sounds incredibly immature/dodgy.

thecatsarecrazy · 31/12/2020 16:07

Yes he's blocking. Block him back and move on. I've been chatting with someone who goes quiet for hours but if I do it he gets funny. Get rid. Waste of time

ahsan · 31/12/2020 16:09

Think he’s deleting the app then reinstalling it to talk to you don’t think he’s even single and him denying it don’t listen to him, dump and move on

Custardcream67 · 31/12/2020 16:27

Ok so he’s definitely not blocked me. He’s been replying to messages I’ve sent while I think I’ve been blocked, which wouldn’t be the case.

So he either has his privacy to contacts only and keeps deleting me from his phone or it genuinely is an IT issue as he says...

Should I give him benefit of the doubt or run for the hills?

TwentyViginti · 31/12/2020 16:29

Oh run. It shouldn't be this hard! he's likely not single and just fucking around.

category12 · 31/12/2020 16:57

Pffft, IT issue my arse.

He's doing something dodgy in order to hide his contact with you, because he's in a relationship.

AmywithanL · 31/12/2020 17:19

I have had the ‘IT’ issues line a few times 🙄
Block and move on

Jobsharenightmare · 31/12/2020 17:26

I have dual what's app in a different app (one for work phone but both accounts on the same phone) and so I wonder if he is doing the same. It allows me to hide the app that shows work what's app messages when I am not on call. I wonder if he has given you a specific number so that he can hide your messages from his usual whats app (because he is in a relationship).

Onthedunes · 31/12/2020 17:37

He's not to be trusted.
Move along if you're not 100%.

What's the point, already he has you going round in circles thinking is he being straight with me?

Waste of time.

cocodomingo · 01/01/2021 01:38

he is likly hiding his story from you..so you cant see his status updates.

BlueThistles · 01/01/2021 01:46

Avoid OP... too shady 🌺

Headsshoulderskneesandtoes00 · 01/01/2021 01:53

Sounds like he doesn't have you saved as a contact and for whatever reason he keeps adjusting his privacy settings. I had this happen to me recently and he flaked on me shortly after.
