Blocked on badoo

[Blocketyblocked]

I recently went abroad and had a fling who I met on badoo. Exchanged numbers, knew it was casual went our separate ways no issues. This was last week. Now he's blocked me on badoo and not whatsapp. There was never any intention to keep in touch etc so its hardly the end of the world just seems an extreme reaction as neither of us have contacted eachother since? Think I'm bothered as whilst I wouldn't think twice never hearing from them due to nature of meet I thought we had a good time, nice ending so shows he's actively removed me.

Idk how Badoo works but are you certain they’ve blocked you, not just removed you as a match or similar? Could be because they have your actual number so don’t need you in the app, or to avoid forgetting you and embarrassing themselves by reinstating convo?

Hi thanks for responding. On badoo he messaged me at the time as a "found you on people nearby" and we were both upfront about what it was. Just for me blocking is quite a deliberate and extreme thing especially as neither of us have messaged eachother since so it's not like I was pestering him. We don't know eachother it just feels rubbish for him to deliberately make that effort to remove me as opposed to just ignoring me.

There's a lot of shit people like that. It dents their ego to think it was a mutual thing. They wanted to 'win' and so you have to 'lose'. It's why a lot of men who want 'just fun' are not suitable for it. Because they don't actually want mutual fun, they want to think you've fallen madly in love with them.

They block to provoke a reaction so that they can tell themselves you're madly in love.

I once had a guy who was obviously just a fun fling, go through my phone and delete his number whilst I was in the shower. Its so hurtful because it feels like it strips you of your autonomy and makes out they were using you as opposed to it just being mutual fun.

Luckily he hadn't blocked me in Facebook. So I blocked him there xD weeks later the weirdo makes a fake account to try contact me. It was obviously him pissed off that he hadn't got a reaction from me. Just blocked him there too.

Block his WhatsApp.
Fucking bellend is just a narcissist with bottomless insecurity and control issues.

Thanks pinkbonbon. It's just so weird isn't it? He did say if I was ever back to let him know which I took as a politeness thing or even a keeping the door open to have sex again another time as why not? The option no matter how unlikely was worth keeping imo. I had no problem it being mutual fun and a nice memory and that is it. Didn't expect to keep in touch, didn't mind indifference even it just sours it a little that he made an effort to find our chat and remove me.

If you don't care, why is it playing on your mind to the point of posting here?

You do care, obviously, and that's okay. But he doesn't. Move on. It's not worth your energy and time.

It bothers me because I was happy with a fling and as we live in separate countries no worries of bumping into eachother or me asking to date etc but whilst there were no romantic feelings I thought we left it respectfully. Actively blocking someone to me indicates you really don't like them and couldnt give a fuck it shows a lack of respect. To me big difference between it was a nice time whilst it lasted take care and taking steps to do that as to me blocking is an extreme thing and shows dislike.

Perhaps he was cheating on a partner and is worried about them finding an old chat (or you sending a new one)?

yes paterpower!!

I hope not that would be awful 😕

He reappeared yesterday then disappeared again today. Either a glitch in the app or if its deliberate just plain weird and better off out of it.

You are over thinking this. Maybe he got rid of the app, is tidying up all his contacts, maybe he has met someone and is getting serious , maybe, maybe?
What does it matter ? You said you knew what it was and you were happy with it. Now you are saying he is showing a lack of respect? Does he need to keep your contact for the rest of his life because you had a fling? Maybe you are not cut out for flings like this?

"Better out of it" - better out of what? His contacts?
