Why do girls unblock and reblock a past guy when they’re in a placeholder relationship?

[Anonymous]

Girl I use is in a placeholder relationship with a guy who’s a friend and everyone knows he’s a placeholder. Anyway, I was blocked by her for 7 months and a month ago she unblocked me then quickly reblocked me and a month later I’m unblocked again.

What does that mean?

She’s tryna keep you around as an option or backup plan if her relationship doesn’t work out. Her blocking you then unblocking and blocking again and repeating; she’s trying to keep you curious and interested. If I were you; you block her yourself and move on. You shouldn’t have time for childish games

Well the funny thing is we saw each other, and she fell back to the this guy after we stopped because he was a friend, it wasn’t a rebound but a placeholder

Yeah, she’s playing games with you. It’s better to cut ties with her and find someone better

They want attention to feel validation because they aren't emotionally healthy
