Could you get past a guy blocking you?

So if he blocked you after a slight disagreement and then returned a few months later and asked how you were. He wasn't a boyfriend just casually dating. Would you just ignore? I was very hurt at the time and just accepted the block and tried to get on with things..I did like him a lot and still do unfortunately.

Wish I didn't still like him, if it was anyone else, I wouldn't care. Shocked to hear from him again, it's been nearly 6 months.

If you enters in this bloke pure basically telling him your standards are in the gutter and giving him license to treat you like shit whenever the mood takes him.

Find your dignity and ignore him.

Humanswarm · 15/08/2024 07:43

But..you don't really like him. You don't know him. You haven't heard from him in 6 months. And I would safely assume, during that 6 months there was someone else that he was casually dating and he's more than likely blocked her now too.
So, as PPs have said. Ignore and move on. Find someone you can genuinely like.

IncompleteSenten · 15/08/2024 07:43

I'd ignore him.

Any reply at all and you may as well just say to him hey there, I've got no self respect, please feel free to treat me with contempt, fuck off without a word, then reappear months or years later to sniff around see if you can get your dick wet and I'll let you.

The question here is why you still like someone who showed you they don't think you're even worth a goodbye.

Inawe81 · 14/08/2024 23:22

He hasn't even acknowledged that he blocked me, he's just returning like nothing happened

Give your head a wobble.

do NOT reply!!!

whoscoatsthatjacket2012 · 15/08/2024 08:37

If presume he found someone to date in those 6 months that didn't last.
Don't embarrass yourself by seeing him. I'd probably replied casually but never give him the satisfaction of knowing you were hurt and definitely be even date him again.
You weren't good enough then so fuck him now

Treesinthewind · 15/08/2024 16:49

Definitely 💯 ignore.

Inawe81 · 17/08/2024 15:47

Would it look really bad if I replied? I'm feeling a bit weak 😭

Reply with 👍 then block the cheeky fucker.

He's probably after a shag

This.

Saintmariesleuth · 17/08/2024 15:51

I wouldn't reply. He isn't even worth the effort. You admit you're feeling a bit weak, so even more reason to ignore him. He's treated you horribly.

Can you put your phone away and distract yourself for a bit?

ItsAlrightDarling · 17/08/2024 15:52

Think back to how hurt you felt when he blocked you. Do you want to feel like that again?
Come on. You know this is going to end badly.

Inawe81 · 17/08/2024 15:47

It would be telling hI’m you’ve got no boundaries, dignity or self respect anx that you’ll be ready and waiting any time he fancies a cheap easy shag.

Cone on you know you’re worth so much more than being an occasional booty call.

It depends what you mean by bad.

If you mean, pathetic and with no boundaries, dignity or self respect. Then, yes. That's exactly how it would look.

IncompleteSenten · 17/08/2024 17:18

It's your life and your choice.
But if you choose to reply, do so knowing what you are telling him about what you will accept.

If you want to be with someone who treats you so coldly then you need to ask yourself why you feel that you don't deserve respect.

Inawe81 · 17/08/2024 17:51

Thanks so much! You guys are legendary for moral support, better than the people I have in real life, I've deleted his number so I can't contact him now.

That’s great, @Inawe81. This guy is bad news for you and belongs firmly in your past.

Let me guess, they were telling you to be nice and give him another chance and that he must have really liked you if he came back after 6.months and it would have been really hard for him to do that... 🙄

Toothlessdragon4 · 17/08/2024 19:07

You know what sort of man he is. Whatever your next move, you cannot claim you had no idea what you are getting into.

Balloonhearts · 17/08/2024 19:12

Nope. Shit communication does not a good relationship make.

Mumoftwinboysitssomuchfun · 17/08/2024 19:14

Genuine question how do people know they've been blocked?

Mydahliasareshit · 17/08/2024 19:14

Ponder on the question 'how can I like a git who actually doesn't like me or care about my wellbeing one ounce?'

For all you know he was pissed in the pub and having a pathetic game with his mates. Don't be the bird who falls for that, please.

He's not your friend, and there's no future.

BunsenBurnerBaby · 17/08/2024 19:20

Ask yourself what about him is likeable if he behaves like that? Trigger your own disgust reaction. It will serve you well in weeding out wrong uns.

magicmushrooms · 17/08/2024 19:23

Done it once, will do it again. Ask yourself why he has unblocked and got in contact. It is only because he wants something - probably a shag.

Inawe81 · 17/08/2024 19:30

I don't know if he blocked me the whole 6 months as I deleted the chat as I didn't want to see it every time I went to text someone, it was too painful. So for all I know he might have just blocked me for one day, does that make any difference or not really?
I knew he blocked me as his profile pic was suddenly gone and my message didn't get delivered, I then deleted the chat an hour later. So he technically could have unblocked me the next day, I don't know.

OP posts:
ItsAlrightDarling · 17/08/2024 19:31

Of course it doesn’t make a difference. He still hasn’t contacted you in that 6 months, has he? He would have done if he wanted to.

Inawe81 · 17/08/2024 19:33

@ItsAlrightDarling yes true, he hasn't contacted me in almost 6 months. Unless he unblocked me ages ago and hoped I would see that he had unblocked me and that i would try and get in touch but obviously I didn't as I deleted the chat and didn't have his number
