Is this a sign that he’s not over his ex ?

His ex blocked him, he blocked her back after finding that out. He was blocked for a month and then he recently unblocked her, even though she still has him blocked. He said he unblocked her because he was clearing out his block list on social media ?

does this sound like a man that is ready for a new relationship?

Oh God, you again? Wondered what you'd be obsessing about next

I personally don’t think he unblocked her because he still has feelings for her

Edited

Not sure why you bothered asking for opinions then

And the only question is what was he doing to get blocked in the first place

SmythSergio · 17/08/2024 22:18

Well if you're just going to agree with posters who say it's not a problem, why are you posting?

It's pretty obvious he's interested in his ex. As the saying goes, don't make someone a priority who only sees you as an option.

Brandyhyper · 17/08/2024 08:54

I agree with this does anyone else ?

No.

He blocked her in retaliation because she blocked him. If he was over her he wouldn’t care or even notice that he’d been blocked.

He’s still hurting and giving her headspace.

So why do you think he unblocked her ?

He unblocked her because he wants to strike up communication again. This isn’t rocket science and the vast majority of men are not rocket scientists. Throw this one back.

Agreed. I've fallen in love in half that time.

How do you know about the blocking/unblocking? If he mentioned it I wouldn't see it as a big deal but if you were looking/checking to see I think you must have some sort of gut feeling he isn't totally into the relationship.

Noseybookworm · 17/08/2024 23:35

He's obviously hoping she'll unblock him at some point so he can continue contact with her. This is not rocket science!

JabbaTheBeachHut · 17/08/2024 23:37

Why is he telling you all this?

And what's the point in 'clearing out' a blocked list?

It's all very childish and no, he doesn't sound ready for a relationship.

At least not until he turns 14.

Fraaahnces · 18/08/2024 01:53

I’m guessing she blocked him for a good reason. He sounds very immature.

SunflowersMidwinter · 18/08/2024 01:57

I unblocked my ex for the same reason your partner just gave, I wanted my unblock list clear - so he could be like me.

bubblesummerxx · 18/08/2024 01:58

Hell no he's unblocked her in the hopes that she's noticed and unblocks him back
These are the childish games me and my ex used to play

GogAndMagog · 18/08/2024 02:16

Bring back the 80s 😂

Was it because y’all weren’t over each other ?

Brandyhyper · 18/08/2024 02:31

My thing is, if she never unblocks him do you think he’ll find away to contact her ???

NeedToAskPlease · 18/08/2024 03:57

OP - you're very intense about this. Are you like this in all your relationships as it feels exhausting to be constantly analysing and second guessing interactions

StormingNorman · 18/08/2024 08:16

Brandyhyper · 17/08/2024 23:04

So why do you think he unblocked her ?

Because he wants to know what she’s up to and he misses her.

Unblocking her is his only way to get her back in his life.

A2024 · 18/08/2024 09:03

Maybe I'm odd but I've been through my blocked list a few times and unblocked people purely to clear it knowing it'd been years since I last spoke with them and it being highly unlikely they will bother me again. I also recently randomly snooped on my ex and saw that he unblocked me after many years of having me blocked, but he's never contacted me so I assume he's done the same, as if he intended to speak to me he surely would have done by now.

However, in this case it sure comes across as he's not over his ex. The ex I just mentioned and I used to play games with each other blocking and unblocking constantly and I was in love with him at the time for sure as if I wasn't in love I'd not have the energy for all the childish blockery and unblockery. Your boyfriend would be the same if he didn't care and he clearly is keeping an eye on her to know when she's blocking and unblocking him.

Thought it looks familiar.

How long til we get the reverse that it’s the OP who is the ex?

BatFaceGrrrll · 18/08/2024 10:57

Oh of course. It's you. Again.

violetto · 18/08/2024 14:29

Oh it's you again!!!

Haven't you anything better to do?!
