    ok my problem - i met a guy and so i sent him a message on facebook after. He never replied :( anyway i was playing around with the security settings on facebook and im wondering is there a setting that you click to stop messages from people that are not your friends? maybe im just clutching at straws :(

    Not really. You can set it so that people can't find you when they search your name and ergo can't send you messages. But if you can see his profile I'm pretty sure he got your message.

    And even if he didn't, he knows how to get in touch with you should he want to. Move on. To a guy who has the decency to reply, even if it's not what you want to hear.

    you can block him, the block button is on the left hand side of his profile at the bottom. You won't be able to see him, he won't be able to see you or interact with your profile in any way.

    You can also make it so strangers can't message you. Go to Privacy, Search and uncheck the box that allows non-friends to message you. He will still be able to reply to your message though. But I'm guessing that's never going to happen so you're probably safe there ;)

    Sounds like you just want to prevent him replying so that you won't know for certain whether he really snubbed you or not. Might be best to just forget about it.

    I think the OP is hoping she already had that setting on by accident, how long ago did you send it, if its more than around 2 or 3 days Id just leave it off.

    Maybe he hasn't checked his email/facebook page?

    Don't read too much into it.

    oh you're right, I misunderstood. I'd still recommend forgetting about it, though :pac:

    If you obsess with it you'll likely just elevate him to a standard that's unhealthy. Best to just move on and if he does randomly message you back then it's a nice surprise and you're not in a mindset to play right into his palm. Best way is to look out for other lads.

    Dont let it bother you, he probably hasnt logged into facebook since you sent him the message......

    I have to agree, im on facebook and sometimes i can go weeks without looking at it... try not to think about it so much, he might reply at a later stage!
