POF : Is it common to just get blocked?
So I haven’t used this app/site forever and I get it the other day and immediately the second person that pops up is actually a neighbor of mine that I like and have been working up the courage to actually talk to/ask out. We’ve had a few positive interactions in passing. So I liked her and sent her a message saying “#3? Is that you?🙃” we never actually introduced so we go by our door numbers. Idk if she read it I’m assuming so then like 2-3 hrs later I looked in the inbox no sent mail went to her account and hit the message button and said I was blocked. Idk if I’m missing something I didn’t think I didn’t anything/said anything wrong. I was looking at other posts about how people just get blocked. Is it really that common? I can see if you are constantly getting dms from douchebags you might just start doing that but as someone who will say I’m not interested instead of just not responding I just don’t understand it.

Don’t take it personally. It happens to everyone. Let it go and enjoy the holiday season.
Talked with someone for three hours one night. Thought it was going cool and then no response. She blocked me in the middle of the conversation.
You can’t read people’s minds. It sounds like maybe she was weirded out. You come into contact with the same people all the time, in the hallways of your apartment complex or at the nearby Starbucks. They might be friendly in passing, but that doesn’t mean they want to date you. If I’m correct, she blocked you because she isn’t interested and was afraid you would keep messaging her.
Another possibility is, it wasn’t her, but someone who had stolen her photos.
I once had someone block me because after a decent back and forth for about an hour, I asked her about something weird she had in her profile. She had written, « I’m looking for someone perverted. » I asked her what she meant by that. Block. She still had that sentence up afterwards, so it seems she didn’t want to talk about that with me.
I’ve experienced blocking for various reasons, most of them unknown. The logical being, they weren’t interested and were afraid I would keep harassing them, because that’s what a lot of guys do.
I would also say let it go. From a woman’s perspective, it might’ve been you just knowing where she lived. It could’ve been anything. I never used to block people but now that every other message is « hey how are you? I’m good and you? Do you like big dicks? Did you get a big dick for xmas….etc ». I’m happy I have a block button. I also have a lot less patience than I used to which sucks because there’s good guys out there but you have to wade through so much crap to find them.
So move onto wading through your pool of crap, man. GL.
Sorry you have to deal with that nonsense… I personally think that it is a tell tale sign of the person if they just block you and you haven’t done anything wrong. Women give that BS excuse about having to deal with guys who are jerks but when you get on a dating app you are aware that some guys will act like that. Just blocking people just bc u don’t wanna have to have to possibly deal with backfire later is a piss poor excuse. It’s like slapping every guy in the face that winks at you bc one or two guys that winked at you grabbed your ass. Every guy that you turn down is t going to go off on a rant and cuss u out. However, lots of guys do get frustrated bc they lower their standards for some of these women and the 2s and 4s act like they are 9s and 10s bc they get lots of messages from guys who are trying to butter them up. That’s when u get the guy who cussed out the girl who turns them down and starts calling them fat and ugly. Bc the guy is t really interested in them, but they are attractive enough to sleep with. Now with your neighbor, if she was intelligent, she would know that blocking you would make things awkward and way worse than just leaving you on read. Or maybe she’s a little thot pocket and doesn’t want u to know about it….
Things are gonna be a little awkward between y’all when you see each other now lol
When it’s your neighbor, the best bet is too approach them in person. You came off as a guy who didn’t have the balls to approach in person and had to hide behind the internet. She may have never liked you in the first place but I think approaching in person in this scenario would of been best. Getting blocked by a random stranger is no big deal, getting blocked by your neighbor is awkward.
