Blocking someone?

[Anonymous]

I blocked this guy because I didn't like something about him
I blocked him without telling him why or communicating with him
I feel guilty about it and wonder
should I feel this way or not?
He was nice to me and we only talked for a few days

Ah man, I wouldn't sweat it too much. Blocking someone without saying anything usually isn't the nicest thing to do, but sometimes you just gotta do what feels right in the moment, you know?

A few days of talking isn't that long, so it's not like you were super close or anything. And if something about him was bugging you, then blocking is probably better than sticking around and getting more annoyed!

I'd say just try not to feel too guilty. It's done now anyway. Unless he was an actual close friend or you guys went out a bunch, he'll get over it. Guys move on quick from stuff like that most of the time.

Maybe shoot him a quick message just saying something came up and you needed a break if you really feel bad. But honestly don't lose sleep over it - you don't owe any explanations to people you barely know. Focus on finding someone who gives you good vibes instead!

But I never blocked anyone before and I feel really sad for him
I can’t send any messages to him
He is too clingy

Aww man that sucks you can't message him now to explain. Yeah being too clingy too fast can definitely be off-putting, so I get why you blocked him. But I know how you feel bad, cuz ghosting someone always feels crappy even if they were sending too many messages. Maybe you could make a new profile and send him one last message to just say sorry for blocking out of nowhere, but you felt overwhelmed. At least then he knows it wasn't really about HIM, just that he moved too fast. And let him know not to message back so you don't get bothered again. That way you apologized and he isn't left wondering, but you also don't have to talk to him anymore if he's too much. Sometimes a little closure helps both people feel better even if you can't be friends. Don't be too hard on yourself though - we all make mistakes!

Well if he was nice and yet you blocked him then maybe you should have simply told him not to contact you again.

I think blocking was not really necessary. Since he treated you nicely I am sure he would have respected your decision and left you alone

A few days isn’t a long time, I doubt he will care much, especially if you met on a dating app. Not sure if that’s the case, I just know if it is then he’s probably swiping through women and chatting them up as we speak.

It was not a dating app
And I think he still hurt coz he sent me a message from another account but I also blocked him

He may be trying to confirm he’s blocked and messaged you elsewhere. I don't know if I’d say he was hurt, since it’s only been a few days knowing you. Disappointed at most, if he was really interested and you ghosted, but if he took it any harder than that I’d think he was a weirdo and bullet dodged.

Just unblock him and see what he says, unless he has access to you and you feel like he's dangerous.

Actually, I don’t want to unblock him he is kind of clingy
