Girls, Assumption on why she blocked me?

[Anonymous]

I am bi-polar and have been doing great on my crazy meds. I have interacted with a woman several times through her job and we have gotten to know each other a bit. And no, she isn’t being nice because it is part of her job. She has really gone out of her way to express her interest in me. I have been texting her, after her handing me her phone, after I offered her my phone number, I then dialed my number from her phone, there by getting her number. I jokingly once admitted to being on crazy meds weeks before exchanging numbers. She is going through a tough time right now and not ready to progress the relationship and not responding back because she isn’t ready. I have been describing to her what kind of person she can expect from me, and also writing her little funny stories to cheer her up. Nothing I have texted her was punctuated with a question mark. I have texted her off and on since January, now being April, with enough time between text as not to blow up her phone. However, this last text basically described why I am interested in her and that just because I am on meds doesn’t mean I am crazy. Well, she blocked me. I am trying to be positive and feel as though she is using the nuclear option to check my true self. I feel she wants to be sure I don’t do anything crazy, after being blocked. Most guys would get pissed, call or text from another number, show up at the girls job all panicked and so on. I am stable enough not to be “that guy”. Is her blocking me a good sign? Once she realizes I am stable, will she contact me or unblock me to see how I treat her?

How am I wasting her time with text?

Being bipolar is usually associated with a lot of personality problems. At least that is how this disorder is being perceived and my assumption is that she may have read up about it and got scared about the possible consequences in a relationship.

That could have been the catalyst why she blocked you on text messages because she is afraid that by allowing you to contact her too often, you may feel that you need to contact her more frequently.

Also, you state that she is going through a rough patch right now. This could also be one reason why she is trying to keep her distance.

Your best option right now is to let time pass by and let her settle the things at her pace. Good luck.

From what I have been told by others, her ex husband is “crazy”. When I admitted to being on crazy meds, she told me she thought everyone needed to be on prozac. That meant something to me. This was before I found out about her ex when I told her about me. She was still attracted to me anyway. I think the fact that I am taking responsibility for my mental health, and wasn’t afraid of admitting to it, most likely meant something to her. She continued to pursue me anyway. Her ex refused to accept he needed help because of the stigma and the fear of losing his guns.

Thanks for the MHO

Guess what. She unblocked me. Waiting that month without trying any of those “Red Flag” moves an emotionally unstable man would’ve made. I have not only her trust now, but her friend that has been brokering our relationship. I saw her friend yesterday and she lit up when she saw me. This friend has been coaching this girl in how to evaluate a mans true personality before getting emotionally involved.

That's great news. Time and patience does a lot of things. Let those things build up slowly and don't be in a hurry. Good luck.

I would have blocked you too. Stop wasting her time with texts.

Can you further explain your reply?
