Why would a guy ask why you blocked him?

Question

I blocked this guy that wasn’t really giving me the attention i wanted and today i saw him in person

Citizenkirk · Accepted Answer

I don't know if there are multiple scenarios to explain why someone would block me, because I never really feel like I give a 🐁's🐴 what such a person thinks or feels about me, since they obviously don't care enough about my feelings or opinions to provide any kind of explanation for Thier abrupt, unexplained action. People that I block don't have to wonder or ask it that kind of question, because it takes a lot for me to go ahead and block someone and really really hard to offend me to the point of being blocked by me. I have a pretty thick skin and a very hi tolerance for social stupidity. If someone is being a knucklehead because they don't know any better I can't help them self I'll cut them some slack but someone knows what kind of they are being and comes across that way intentionally then I acknowledge their success I'm convincing me that they are human instrument of troll trash design and function. Only sick 🖕's with absolutely nothing too offer to a discussion thread and actively interfere with other people's attempts at participation and sharing of a relevant subject of discussion earn my contempt, but people who are only jerks when they are having a bad day only irritate me somewhat, in much the same way that mosquito bites do.
People who go out their way to be sadistic troll trash because some thing inside of them gets off on being statistical trash compels them to consistently be that way are immediately forgotten the second I block them, and those that block me without notification or explanation almost never even make my radar until I am notified that I is it blocks this person or they blocked me, it was funny I shrugged my shoulders say okay, whatever or whoever you are🙄.

Because maybe it’s rude to block and ghost people who did nothing explicitly wrong to begin with.

I once had a former female “friend” who told me she was going to stand a guy up just because he called her “babe” twice in a text message conversation. She showed me what he wrote. He was definitely flirty and f*clboyish but he never mentioned sex or anything over the top.

I told her that what she was doing was extremely rude, cowardly and unacceptable. I then told her that it was okay to cancel the date. But common sense appropriate thing to do is message him first saying she couldn’t make it. If she was so paranoid about his response then just block him immediately after sending it. But at least give the respect of knowing she wasn’t coming so he doesn’t go out of his way for nothing. Also she was a grown ass 30 year old woman at the time by the way.

As it turns out he messaged her the day of date saying he couldn’t make it. She acted all relieved that she avoided a confrontation. I then told her “look he had to respect to tell you he couldn’t make it and what were you originally planning to do?”

Anyway I know you aren’t planning to stand a guy up. But still this guy can’t read your mind and is clueless why you blocked him. If he was smart he would just ignore you (after all you blocked him). But still I can understand why he asked that question.

Next time put your big girl pants on and communicate like a grown ass adult. If you want to block someone fine. But if they didn’t do anything creepy or inappropriate it is a YOU problem not them.

I don't understand why on Earth you would block him if you wanted his attention it seems a big challenge I cannot understand why people nowadays block other people's for petty reasons. Blocking is only for severe matters if the person was being abusive to you harassing you that's when you block them but because they Don't don't give you the time of day that you feel you deserve that is not a reason to block an individual. Life gets in the way life can be complicated blocking someone because they don't have the time to talk to you is low.
Instead you should have been the one to reach out and speak to that and be patient life can't be all about us individual (you) life is an intense interactive overlapping simultaneous cycling patterns and it gets complicated sometimes you have to intervene to get a person's interest.
Sometimes people are just too wrapped up and what's going on in their own lives and they don't notice that there's other people trying to reach them. Some people just need that extra push that extra hello.
Relationships are about putting the effort.
Obviously you liked the individual so you should have put in more effort into reaching out to them. But now that you blocked him he's going to see that your childish and I don't know how that's going to go for you.

Tbh, you shouldn’t have blocked him. That was wrong in so many ways. I’d have had an adult like conversation if I were you. You NEED to communicate. Communication between people is really really important.

“Attention you wanted.” Seriously? What if there was stuff going on in his life? What if I dunno, his grandma was sick? What if he’s depressed? There are so many possibilities. You cannot just block him. Sure, blocking a person without explaining the situation to them may be easy, but that is a total dick move and I’d recommend you do not do this again in the future. You really should apologize to him. Was he a dick? Did he ask you for nudes? Did he send unsolicited dick pics? Was he online and didn’t text you back, for say, 20 hours? If he was online and didn’t text you back then okay, but still, you should’ve talked to him about it rather than block him.

I’ve been blocked/ghosted a lot and people tell me that I’m “too nice” as if it’s a bad thing. Trust me, getting blocked doesn’t feel good. Maybe if you experience it one day, you’ll know.

MrOracle · Answer

Instead of blocking him, you could have actually TALKED to him and told him what the problem was. I don't understand why people just block other people - in my opinion, that's a last resort when someone you've told to leave you alone repeatedly still won't do so - and in that case, they'll KNOW why they were blocked.

in my opinion, it's childish to just randomly block people because you are too lazy or inconsiderate to talk to them (I'm not saying this applies to you - maybe you did tell him - but if it DOES apply to you, I hope you'll understand how it feels from the other side, and that it's really something you should avoid).

Apope16 · Answer

Because you blocked him for a really stupid and dumb reason and he is confused and hurt.

Blocking someone is something that is very harsh and cruel. The only reason you should ever do that is if they cheated on you or insulted you in some way. But to block someone because they weren't given you attention? That is very toxic and horrible.

This is what I have written about in my mytakes that angers women. Ladies are obsessed with attention. Its like their drug addiction. When a guy doesn't give them enough they go insane.

You need to apologize to this guy and say it was immature and that you just wanted to have attention. Say, "I like you and wanted to get your attention. It was really immature and I am sorry. I won't do it again. Do you want to go out for some ice cream?"

TruthBringer · Answer

Sounds like you wanted validation for your immature actions, but alas you didn't find it here. It sounds like the guy still needs some self-development to do considering no man of self-respect will remain in contact with the likes of you after such an immature move. You want his attention, yet didn't mention why you think you have earned it. Or are you just stringing this guy along for free attention/validation without having any plans to escalate things with? Whatever the case, he is better off blocking you back and find himself someone who would show him some more respect.

Aethereal · Answer

He is confused. You essentially disappeared without saying anything. As far as he was concerned, the interaction had been going well until you blocked him. If it was me, I'd be wondering whether it was something. It's wrong to ghost people. When I was doing online dating, I'd message the girls I had been talking to if I felt they weren't being attentive enough. That way they'd know why I unmatched them.

Tell him what you need (ed) from him. For all you know, he was holding back because someone told him not to smother you.

ConnorJHutton531 · Answer

I already answered another similar question, so now I’m compelled to say that this one crush from elementary school blocked me after I started chatting her up in college years later. It wasn’t even that stupid of conversation! I only asked her what she was studying, what made her want to get into that career, and probably how she likes to wind down on a Friday night as well. But - getting ahead of myself.
She blocked me, I saw her in line at the dining area, she looks at me somewhat disgusted, I look at her disappointedly but also somewhat bitterly - which I kind of regret the bitterness. I guess my disappointment was that I couldn’t date her, my ego was hurt, and it’s stingy as opposed to being told directly from them why they don’t want to date you - less stingy than being told up front, that is.
But still, that was the end of that!

Stoner710 · Answer

it's so we can improve on the next girl I meet, in a guy's mind we want to improve on ourselves so if its looks we can be more desirable bit of looks, or personality example: "you didn't respond to my needs" so be more responsive (but in which case we tend to be overly responsive which make the girl annoyed as well) The point is let us know what we're doing wrong and give it a chance like three months to improve" and give us an assessment trust me most guys want the girls to be happy but we don't know what we're doing wrong problem communication is important even if the relationship is over permanently

Juxtapose · Answer

Jesus Christ why the fuck do you think? You gave him no explanation and blocked him like a child.

If I was him I would tease you about it because that is some pussy ass behavior.

jfc people don't know how to talk to each other anymore.. SAD!

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

So, you want attention, but then block this dude on social media?

Well he can't give you attention now, genius.

If you don't want to hang with him, just tell him and move on. Don't try to be coy or play games - just use your goddamn words.

IDontBelieveIt · Answer

I've borrowed some Tarro cards to see what message some women are giving they never make sense either so just play solitaire with 'em, and I have tried my crystal balls but their always foggy. I've tried smoke signals and set fire to the house and the carrier pigeon got hit by a truck so I don't know

SheerKiss3 · Answer

There could be several reasons. But the two most common reasons I can think of are..

1- You two had a good talk and you suddenly blocked him for no apparent reason.

2- He feels a little upset or sad because it is not the first time that something like this has happened to him and he just wants to know the reason to be able to understand it.

Daniela1982 · Answer

If you want attention go to Instagram. You can't expect someone to give you all the attention you want as they have other things in life besides you - job, friends, social engagements, and time for their self. I think you are expecting too much and may be high maintenance.

ohshee · Answer

I guess I would do the same thing as a matter fact there is a girl that blocked me on here and I don't have a clue what I don't see her here anymore but be kind of pissed me off because I used to love answering her questions well if you'd like something you have to tell him that you like him what kind of attention did you want did he know that I'm sure if she would have known that he would have given it to you

JSmuve · Answer

Same reason why a silly girl would ask why a guy would ask why he was blocked. Curiosity and the need to know.

But seriously, you blocked him because he wasn't giving you enough attention? LOL someone's needy. If you weren't feeling it anymore, you could've just deleted his number. It's not like he was going to contact you much anyways.

Ghostykill3r · Answer

If you didn't tell him why, he then doesn't know why so he wants to know. I personally wouldn't ask unless it was someone I'd been friends with for a long time and didn't do anything I feel would warrant being blocked. If a girl I was talking to for a short while blocked me I'd just be sad for a bit then move on

WA786K · Answer

Well he is confused since you blocked him which he was giving the attention and focus on you. That was a very stupid move to blocking him and immature. He's most likely going to push his focus on another women that will value his attention to advance from dating to possibly a significant other. There nothing todo now your loss id say. 🤦🏻‍♂️

OlderAndWiser · Answer

He didn't understand the block because you two weren't communicating very well and it was like two ships passing in the night. If you talk on the phone instead of text, that happens far less often!

Floppy2112 · Answer

How did he get through the block? I just blocked somebody and I don't want them to get through it.
Just ignore him. Do not give it any attention. The biggest mistake people make is react to things when it does not behoove them to do so. Just don't answer.

Vikkrram · Answer

If i would have been on that place of guy i would do the same... at least i should know the reason that why i got blocked? Coz you know when you suddenly starts to ignore a person without a proper reason it feels so painful and bad.

NoLookingAtSoleil · Answer

You answered it.
You blocked him to GET his aattention.
Men think/feel that is entirely moronic - privileged girls throwing silent tantrums to get what they want.
Why is he not giving you attention already? You have someone else? Or you are not good looking?

Gwenhwyfar · Answer

Because he’s hurt and confused That was a bitch move girl

WolfKvlt · Answer

Because he's probably wondering why somebody that he sees in real life (in the actual world) would avoid him on a virtual platform so he's most likely trying to gauge your maturity level. Very odd behavior indeed

Grond21 · Answer

This is kind of a strange question. Is it not obvious that he doesn't know why you blocked him? He thinks it's odd and strange, and none of his actions seem to indicate to him that he did something blockable?

Adam1978 · Answer

What a dumb reason to block someone. Hey they are not giving me what I want so I remove the possibility for them to give it. Yeah you can only loose with measures like that. You certainly don't teach the guy what you want.

K3wlD3wd · Answer

Ya know that feeling you get when you're chatting with a guy for awhile and you start developing feelings for him.. but then he starts leaving your messages on "unread" for long periods.. and you start getting angry and wondering what is going on and what you may have done to make them maybe get bored and move on?

... guys get those exact same feelings.

Wisdom-Strength-Love · Answer

aw, thats cute. legitmate question though because most guys know why they are blocked and come back as a catfish just to get blocked again. it s a sickness really

PMmyDM · Answer

Usually they're either stubborn or genuinely confused. I got blocked once by someone I was close with, and never found out why, even to this day. Blocking someone should usually be done if they're pestering you and harassing you. If they're just not giving you the attention you want, then just tell them. We can be stubborn sometimes, but we aren't idiots, we can handle you telling us you aren't happy with the relationship

Curmudgeon · Answer

"I blocked this guy that wasn’t really giving me the attention" and in so doing, you further insure that he can't. Way to go! Other men got to it before I did, but GROW UP.

Neyila · Answer

Because he doesn't know why you blocked him. Perhaps letting him know and talking it through would've been a better alternative. Maybe he would've been receptive and gave you more attention.

scentoflavender · Answer

People are always justified in their minds. Obviously he thinks being blocked was an overreach. Is that surprising consider past behavior? Best thing you can do is move on.

Anon621 · Answer

I think some guys just want to understand what might might wrong with them or maybe they just want your attention to say something along the lines of "I promise I won't do it again"

JackSmy · Answer

You hurt his ego, by blocking him! Some guys are really sensitive to rejection, when they cannot totally control a woman. You are probably better off, blocking, and ignoring him!

Anonymous · Answer

That's not good on your part girl. If he's not giving you the attention you want, you block him?

He asked because he probably thinks it was very odd behavior. Don't treat people are quick and easy options to get what you want. You'll build a reputation for yourself with that behavior.

Oceanvibes002 · Answer

livolivia · Answer

He probably doesn't know why you blocked him. He may not have realized he treated you bad even though it was clear to you.

Curiosity, he want wants to know. Maybe he did something wrong, maybe it's a misunderstanding, maybe he's trying to improve. Just ask him.

He asked because he wanted to know? Are you not curious when people block you?

Maybe he was just curious to know or he thinks he did nothing wrong or inappropriate in order for you to block him.

YOLOIFIC · Answer

Maybe they’re upset, maybe curious, maybe you should ask them not us. They’re the only on that actually knows.

RoyalGuy_PRO · Answer

Because 'not giving enough attention' is not a good enough reason to block someone? If people who created the blocking feature saw this, they would be very dissappointed in you

PrinceNeo · Answer

It's probably because he doesn't know that that's the reason that you blocked him. I mean think about it if someone just decided Hey I'm gonna block you just just out of the blue wouldn't you wonder what you did to make that scenario happen as well?

MrJMM · Answer

I would be like... Bitch you ignore me for months, talk behind my back, try to steal my money to get drugs, and use me just you can good about yourself... Yeah no... bye bitch! 👋 *blocks* *reports for inappropriate content* *unfriends*

007kingifrit · Answer

im sorry but that's a wicked stupid question WHY DO YOU THINK HE WOULD ASK. its not normal to block people like that either. blocking is a very serious thing and should be done only in the most dire of situations

Dazed0N0Confused · Answer

That's creepy if you ask me. I wouldn't think too much on it

On_cloud_wine · Answer

You don’t block people without an explanation. That’s just rude.

Shaggy_KW · Answer

If you block someone for no reason, they're gonna wonder why you blocked them. Be an adult and say it isn't working out

Savage_Wisdom · Answer

Maybe he kinda liked you, and thought you blocking him came out of the blue.

jermaineatl · Answer

Well it depends on the situation if you just up and blocked him without an explanation that is confusing. If you told him why then blocked him that's a different story.

A lot of girls nowadays use the block button in place of communication, I'd be asking too. I'd be wondering if I said something wrong.

You need to understand that no one can read our mind. You sound too immature for a relationship. Its probably a good thing for this guy that you blocked him.
