deactivating and activating account

[Rania21]

Sorry for posting this topic here, seems strange. I contacted someone recently, I have been thinking about him ever since I met him a while back and we happened to be part of the same forum. When I contacted him via DM on Facebook (first time doing such) he responded but then deactivated his account, still on messenger, so I could still message him. I then decide to part ways and send him good wishes and he reads the message and ignores me. He then deactivates and activates his account again. I find the behaviour very strange and I honestly wonder what type of subliminal messages he is sending and why. I have never seen someone do such a thing and is to garner attention. Why not just block me if something is distressing him.

You’ve decided to part ways and he probably has too. Move on.

Who says any of it has anything to do with you?

Well if one is deactivating and activating I imagine he has not.

If you think he's game playing then block and move on

Are you referring to his facebook account? I go through phases of deactivating my account and then reactivating to check it only to deactivate it immediately afterwards. Sometimes I just don’t want to be contactable on social media. It’s nothing to do with anyone else.

Because he deactivated at the point I contacted but he was still on messenger. Almost hiding. I should note he contacted me via the forum.

I am yes. There is a clear correlation between contacting and deactivating.

It’ll hurt your brain trying to work it out…so dont bother

That is true. I guess in all honesty I am wondering there are traits of narcissism, he messages me via the forum and says something provocative and when I do message he then deactivates his account.

You again? Are you not bored of starting these threads yet?

So he's not single/available then.

He doesn't mind contact through your forum but doesn't want his other half to know he has an internet hottie - so when you contact him through FB/messenger he deactivates his account so his missus doesn't see the message. Then re-activates it again when the danger has passed.

Stick to being his forum bird, his emotional ego boost.

Better still, decide that this sort of silly game playing isn't for you and he's a wrong-un and ignore him the next time he messages you through your forum.

Every right to be here and pose issues. Yes one another thread is a whole lot!
