Messaged randomly and then blocked... Weird.
Jump to: Newest in thread
I don't get why someone would message you out of the blue, start talking and everything is great, but the block you.
Maybe she was a little immature but she didn't seem it?
Maybe she gets off of reeling guys in to block the before moving on to the next?
Maybe it's my aftershave? haha.
It is bonkers though, I'm a big boy, a simple "I've changed my mind and your not my type" is fine. It would be met with "No offence taken, good luck in your search."
I know some will say I'm not entitled to a reply and it's her perogative etc, but honestly... Manners cost nothing do they, and they make the world a much better place. Especially as she messaged me and started the conversation etc.
Anyway... Soon be Christmas.. Haha  |

"Maybe you said something that out her off and she didn’t want the follow up messages after telling you she was no longer interested.
Put her off**"
I get that, but everything was great.. So much so that I honestly thought that a meet would be on the cards..
Not to worry, onwards..... |

You probably put her off or she just changed her mind.
And yeah, might be nice to be told that but do you have any idea how many guys become incredibly abusive when you're honest about that? Sometimes it's easier to cut the contact entirely without opening yourself up to the potential tirad. I mean, nothing is owed to anyone so its the polite thing to do to let someone know but that's about it. |

Some even run to the forums and make a thread about it  |

I’m sure she had her reasons and annoyingly you probably won’t ever know what they were. Doesn’t stop it feeling crappy to you though so hopefully you get some better luck later on to balance your day! |

Who would do such a thing? Haha. Some say, some even reply to those threads. |

"Not all men can take a no thanks message with grace.
It’s much easier to just block someone, there’s no abusive comebacks from the recipient that way. "
That's fair enough, I csn imagine that actually.  |

"I think it's stranger to make a thread about it claiming not to be bothered by it but what would I know? "
I'm pretty sure you've seeing stranger threads on here. Haha.
I've not mentioned any names, been respectful, I just thought I'd ask the experts.... And they've spoken. Thank you. |

Get used to it amigo , I was chatting away fine yesterday with someone even arranged a meet for the afternoon then nothing , just ignored and messages not read ,
People can change even tho you been polite they might read something in a different manner to how it was ment and they get the ick
But I do agree ,manners cost nothing . I've been told no a hundred times and the best thing is to just say , hey ok good luck on here .
There are definitely people on here tho just feeding off the attention |

Hey Chriscooper,
Ah, the mysterious case of the sudden block! It's like a modern-day digital short story, isn't it? One minute you're having a laugh, connecting over shared interests, and then poof! They vanish like a ghost in one of those old-timey mysteries. It's enough to make you wonder if it's a you-problem. But let's be real, your aftershave is probably fantastic (haha).
You hit the nail on the head about manners. They really don't cost a thing, and they do make the online world a friendlier place. It's a bummer when people forget that a simple kind message can go a long way. Makes you wish there were a 'Manners 101' for online chatting, doesn't it?
But look at you, taking it all in stride – that's the spirit! Not everyone has the grace to say, "No worries, all the best!" I'd bet my last mince pie that this attitude will serve you well in the long run.
Keep your chin up, your sense of humor handy, and those good vibes rolling. The right chat – one that won't end in an unexpected block – is out there waiting for you. |

It happens op. I look at everything on fab like this.
Sometimes when I buy a lottery ticket, I think this could be a winner, but more than likely it won’t be. 
And then I’m never disappointed.  |

I think this site turns people strange lol
Self reflection is important of course. Maybe it was something you said or done but honestly . Whether it be when I was travelling the world, clubs, bars, the park, apps like Tinder etc. I have never experienced such strange behaviour ANY where else.
And the way things work here, the ratio of men to women on the site. I mean, compare a beautiful woman’s fabs on a picture compared the most handsome man you can find. It’s night and day. I think this has created an almost toxic environment and within this environment, you got thrown in the bin like a piece of trash because they received 100 messages just this morning.
I’m not sure this was as clear as I can make it but I’m about to go into a meeting.
Peace! |

I live relatively near the OP and I thought that I recognised the picture/profile name. I clicked but I'd blocked him previously already, just saying that there's normally a reason for blocking someone  |
