She Feels Ashamed Of How She Handled Things With A Guy She Likes After She Learned He Blocked Her On Social Media
This 24-year-old girl met a 33-year-old guy online who lives in an area where she will be moving to shortly.
They really hit it off, and everything was progressing wonderfully between them. They have been pretty much talking every single day, and the conversations have been something she looks forward to.
“One of the best connections I’ve had in so long,” she explained. “The situation was odd because we were unable to meet in person because I hadn’t moved yet.”
“So, we were building a connection virtually for a couple of weeks. We had had a couple, should I say, “hotter” nights together as well.”
“But, he didn’t want to talk on the phone and was hesitant about sending images (however, he did send a couple). I, like any woman, wanted to look more in-depth about who this person is online before taking it further.”
She was surprised when she could not find a single thing about him on social media, though she did find someone she thought he might be related to, as this person had the same last name as he does and was located in the same place.
Then, she began to absolutely freak, as it crossed her mind that most likely, this guy could be catfishing her.
I mean, that would easily explain why he didn’t want to send her photos of himself. She decided to call her best friend to discuss the whole thing, and her best friend did a bit of investigating and easily found this guy on a bunch of social media platforms.
It was then that she realized this guy had blocked her from being able to find him on social media.

“This raised a huge red flag for me,” she said. “What was he hiding? So I know this was really weird, but in the heat of the moment (I can be very impulsive due to ADHD), I admitted I had looked up his phone number to find his socials – and found out I was blocked.”
“Not surprisingly, I think he was embarrassed and creeped out. He called me the next day (I guess he can pick up the phone) to basically tell me he understood why I did it as a woman, but he’s not used to that; everything was moving too fast, and we should go our separate ways.”
“Told me maybe we can text when I move there, but I think he was just trying to be nice from the tone of it. I was mortified, to say the least. I’m feeling a lot of shame and embarrassment for this and am really sad that my impulsive behavior may have jeopardized our connection.”
She’s left wondering if there is anything she can do to somehow save things with him or if it’s wise for her to keep reaching out to him at all.
What advice do you have for her?
