Grindr block

Newbieadvice

Hi guys,

This may sound like a dumb question but I'd love your thoughts. I recently downloaded grindr for dates. There was one guy who I always thought was super cute who appeared in my grid but I never had courage to msg him.

Anyhow I can see today that he has blocked me! We literally never had any interaction and I've no idea why he did it. Feeling a bit confused right now. Why would someone do this if you never bothered them?

How do you know he blocked you? Maybe he just closed his account?

Maybe he has deactivated his account which is why it's no longer visible? Maybe he has a policy of blocking guys he's not interested in even if they (you) haven't yet messaged them.

You've never interacted with him so he's a complete stranger so try not to fret over it and focus on guys you can interact with. There's always other super cute guys out there!

Thanks guys! I can see that i'm blocked as i had to re-download app today and he is online and visable on front page (before login) then when i put my details in he's gone.

Oh well!

I'm still confused as to how that unquestionably demonstrates he's blocked you. One site I was on used to put profiles up on the pre-login homepage that were no longer active. Maybe the same? You could always make a new profile just to see for sure.

Any advice I give is hypocritical because it would tear me up too. But...it's pretty unwise to second-guess the motives of people online. Sometimes closeted, often uncomfortable with the seediness, remain rude and detached because to show their personality would be to expose themselves. In my case, I have a particular type, and have consequently refused guys that I would be thrilled to have come up to me in a club. Where looks and feel for someone are the only distinguishing features, you tend to chose in a way that doesn't reflect your offline choices. He could even, if indeed he did, have blocked you by mistake!!

You need a tougher skin with dating apps. Whether or not he blocked you, you can't let it ruin your life - I guarantee you'll find someone better if he did! I used to take an ignored message/block really personally, but on apps like that, it's surface-level interactions when it comes to first impressions, sometimes it's a sting but you just have to let it fall through you and move onto the next good thing.

Anyway, you can't be 100% sure if it's a block, but don't let it put you off!

He has blocked you. Perhaps he saw your profile pic or something you listed in your profile and decided you weren't for him, so he is removing people he knows he won't be interested in. It is tough when guys do this, but sadly hat's just the way it is. If you make a new profile and try and contact him, he may think you're being weird/stalkerish, so best to just accept that he isn't interested in you and move on.

Thank you guys. Ya he defo blocked me alright. To be honest he looks very full of himself. Just thought it was little uncalled for considering I never bothered him. My profile is pretty basic to be honest, I wouldn't class myself as an oger either however I do tend to change my profile pic very often so maybe this is seen as annoying by some. Oh well first world problems lol. Thanks again guys!

I think you just need to accept it and move on to be honest

Were you ever actually going to contact him? If it's a case of him being some eye candy to look at or something like that then I don't see why you're irritated. Are you worried that he blocked you because there's something wrong with you? There isn't, for whatever reason you are not his type and if you have never interacted with him yet he blocked you anyway then you can be sure that he's blocked plenty of others too. Don't take it personally and, cute or not, it's not exactly difficult to find a replacement on grindr.

I really wouldnt take it too personally , people are often much fussier and shallower online than they otherwise would be in person. And I don't think its that weird, I block guys on grindr because I hate seeing the same few guys I have no interest in coming up every time i log in! So i block them, to allow new guys to pop up on my profile, even if I haven't talked to a lot of them

I dont see what the issue is. You never spoke to the guy, so how was he supposed to know you were interested in him? You have 100 guys on Grindr. Why waste your limited number of guys with guys who arent interested in you or that you arent interested in them?

You going to go to bars and have guys ignore you or not be interested in you. You are just going to have to accept that

Hey man. For the past few weeks i went on a blocking binge ha. There were a few lads making fake profiles to mess with me and it got to the point where i couldnt distinguish! I was also on there for a while and it got to the point where if ya didnt message me i assumed you werent interested. If i fit any category it would be cute but i hope not arrogant! :S

He prolly though you weren't genuine. You know he's right and your perplexed because you can't figure out how he knew. Prolly the same way I know that your posts are aren't particularly genuine. It's easy to tell after a while.

Maybe im just stoned but i thought OP had a blankish profile? Thats not really ingenuine, just not being open. Cant lie if you dont say anything! i definitely put up a few lies on mine a while ago in an attempt to turn off a certain somone lol.

Haven't been on this in ages! Had actually forgotten this post lol. Ok I actually made mistake, turns out the guy hadn't blocked me. We have since actually met through mutual friends and he's actually very sweet.

Learn_more your post is so idiotic, rude and pathetic. You know nothing about me, instead of trolling a post that's over a month old perhaps you should get a life?

Dynomike your post made me chuckle.
