When I go offline then he goes offline. why?

[Anonymous]

i have noticed this a couple of times on FB.. he would go offline after i go offline because when i login again i cannot see him online.. there is also this time (last seen) facility to view. It is like we both play hide and seek on chat but don't talk. FYI.. he is a lost amazing friend of mine. we stopped talking to each other because of ego. and i love him more than a friend. guess he has a clue but i haven't said. he always wanted me to admit it and gave mixed signals. but still don't know about what he feels because he would act like he liked me but said the very opposite and made me feel let down.
why do you think he is involved into hide and seek when he doesn't want to talk to me? do you think he is interested in friendship or more?

That situation definitely sounds like it’s messing with your head a bit. It’s like you’re both doing this silent dance, trying to figure out where the other stands without actually communicating. When someone mirrors your online activity like that—going offline when you do or showing up at similar times—it’s usually a sign that they’re paying attention, even if it’s subtle.

The whole "hide and seek" thing could mean a few things. Maybe he’s as conflicted as you are. He might be feeling something for you but isn’t sure how to handle it, especially with the past and the ego clashes. That mix of wanting you to admit your feelings and then giving you mixed signals is classic behavior of someone who’s unsure of what they really want—or someone who’s scared to admit what they actually feel.

If he’s still lingering around, even if it's just digitally, he probably cares about you at some level. Whether that’s as a friend or something more, it’s hard to say without more direct communication. But the fact that he’s playing this "hide and seek" game suggests he’s not ready to let go entirely.

If you’re up for it, maybe it’s worth reaching out to break the ice. You don’t have to dive straight into your feelings, but something simple like reminiscing about good times or a casual check-in might give you both a chance to reconnect without the pressure. See how he responds. If he’s receptive, that could be a sign he’s still interested in figuring out where things stand between you two.

But yeah, this kind of situation usually needs some kind of move to clear the air. Otherwise, you’ll both keep dancing around each other without getting any answers. What do you think you’ll do?

I think you're thinking about it WAY too much. Also, I don't think FB is 100% accurate with who's online and offline anyways.

He’s probably on to talk to you. Just ask him there’s many possible reaosns but that’s my guess

If you love him just be direct and tell him how you feel. It’s very possible he’s gonna find someone else. Unless he’s in a relationship.

Can't really say about his actions but as far as my FB's games are concerned... I 'log out' 5 minutes after I hit the log out button...

Honestly, it could mean absolutely nothing. Sometimes people just go offline when they’re done scrolling or chatting, without any hidden intentions behind it. It’s easy to overthink stuff like this, especially when you have feelings for someone, but it might just be a coincidence. He could be logging off because he’s got other stuff to do or just doesn’t feel like being online anymore. It doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a deeper meaning behind it or that he’s playing some kind of game with you. Sometimes, things are just as simple as they seem.

I think that seeing him online is mostly in your head. Those online indicators are not accurate and certainly nothing to use as any sort of 'gotcha' evidence.

Quit playing games and communicate clearly. Life is too short. Only teenagers are allowed to play those games. 😆

How would you see someone go offline if you already went offline first… Doesn’t make sense.

[ProbablyClueless]

This is really something you should be asking him. Nobody here could give you anything better than a random guess.

He seems involved but he is a little bit shy imho. You should break this cycle and talk to each other.

If you are offline, how would you know he's offline?

I don't live my life on FB so I don't have any FB problems.

This is ridiculous.

[Asker]

sorry?

[Error_204]

Forgiven.

[Asker]

lol funny.. i meant what annoyed you so much.. was looking for a helpful ans.. :|

We lack data for the criteria. For instance how long this has been going on, it's real frequency, and due to the lack of communication any form of extrapolation on our part is faulty. We're shooting in the dark.
