I've already talked about this man a couple months ago (March) when he sent me a friend request on Facebook right after I unblocked him. I blocked again him pretty much right away.

I deleted all social media hoping he'd forget about me.

Fast forward, I re-activated my Twitter account about 5 hours ago and he sent me a request to follow me about 20 minutes ago.

We dated in college then I broke up with him in 2012. It's been three years and he still can't let it go. I've moved on and I want to focus on my career, not a man. He however cannot take a hint and I feel as though I have to have a conversation with him to clear things up once and for all.

This is driving me nuts, really. I can't even have an account on any social media without having him creeping on me in some way. He's engaged for heaven's sake. I want to meet new people.


What should I do to make him understand this is a lost cause? He obviously still hung up on me.

Not sure why him following you on social media = still hung up on you? He can follow you without you actually having any personal interaction with him. I think I am "friends" with all of my exes on facebook. No big deal. Very rarely do we actually communicate. And none of us are overly active on social media, so although their names are in my friends list, it
s not like a window into anyone's soul...

I think, it's pretty easy to ghost this phewl, but a little part of you is still hung up on him.

Yes, except I'm the last girl he dated before he got engaged to his fiancée. He got engaged 3 months after I broke up with him.

Last time we spoke, he told me he made a mistake moving countries for her.

Plus, I'm the only "acquaintance" he's following. The rest are NGOs and celebrities.

If you only knew ... I'm so hung up on someone else and I have been for about a year now.

I can't even picture myself dating any other guy whether they're someone new or an old boyfriend.

So reblock him, what's so hard about that? How is this even an issue?

Because I want him to understand he needs to forget about ever reconnecting with me! Blocking him doesn't do the trick, celarly. He needs to understand that it's time for him to let it go!

Folks do this kind of thing all the time.

Just ignore him. I feel like a part of you still cares for him if you feel the need to make a post about him following you. I could understand if he sent you message or is posting thousands of tweets about you.

No he doesn't need to be told anything, he can figure it out when he finds out you're completely blocking him. I think you might be enjoying his attention, or at least the thought that he's pining for you.
