I think I already know what most of you will say...that I'm over analyzing and these things mean nothing.


What if you have stopped following the person you were dating on social media but they are still following you? Although he hasn't commented on any pics I have posted since I discontinued any communication with him. I can block him, but I don't have the heart to...at least not yet (been two months since we stopped talking)


What if you see he still has in his profile pic on FB something that you made for him?


To give some background, he didn't want to stop all the communication but since there was no traction in the relationship I ended it (possibly in anger but now its hurting me more than I am sure its hurting him). I blocked him right away and now this possibility is bothering me that he may have sent a text but since he was blocked I didn't see it and now his ego is stopping him from trying again. I did something similar last year, i.e., stopped talking to him but ended up reaching out to him after two months...mostly because I tried remembering all the kindness he showed me back then and also because I was so happy then as my family overcame some setbacks and I wanted to include him in my happiness. He even said this time that I tried cutting him off last time and it didn't work. So he's probably thinking that I might contact him again...I don't have any hesitation in doing that but I am pretty sure most people including him might see this as my weakness rather than the fact that I care...and I'll be played for this weakness.


So am I reading too much into the two things I noted above?

So which is it?



In any case, it has been two months, and he has not contacted you... move on already.
And avoid Facebook drama in the future.

ETA: Same guy from here?
Just want to vent...
In that thread, you did not have a real relationship, having gone on one proper date in three years... you were an amusing distraction, in your words... and he told you he would never marry you. Why on earth have you not moved on from that?

Why would you bother since you keep shutting him out and had to try to remember kindnesses he showed?
Leave the poor guy alone

You sound like a lot of drama. I agree with old_cold. Leave him alone and move on. Don't pay so much attention to social media.

Usually after one month of NC (no contact) you start to feel better. So after two months you should be back to yourself and feeling comfortable with your life without him and you're thoughts back to you. They say reward yourself with gifts after period of NC. For instance after 2 weeks, you reward yourself with a gift of a mani/pedi and after one month and outfit. It really does help!

I went on vacation short afterwards to help distract myself. It didn't work as well as I had hoped for.


Are people/relationships that dispensable?

One date - you said you went on one "proper date" in the three years you pined over him! - does not a relationship make.

Meeting countless times for lunch and coffee...I would count them as dates. Not formal dates, but certainly dates. It's not like he didn't see it as a relationship, he did too.


You guys are reading my other thread as if this whole thing was completely one-sided, as if he was just taking me for a friend. I am even conceding that one date is mostly cuz of me as I was unable to hang out as often (and I don't want to be bashed over this...please).

When I do that, it is called going out with a friend.

He does not want a life with you. He has said that, and he has shown that.
You are refusing to see.

Please reread what others have said in your previous thread.
