The selfless move would be to push your own feelings aside and to respect a person's wishes. That's why it's stalking. It's a selfish act masquerading as a expression of concern. It's gross and so transparent.

Tell me how wrote: » An enquiry to someone you probably have no connection with about someone who blocked you. Yep. That's stalkish behaviour.

If you message that person and they don't message back, that's their right. If you go trying to bridge that gap by contacting her friends - people you have never met - then you've crossed the line into being a "nice guy". Go buy a fedora and a katana.

Johnny I don't know you and chances are I never will, but I know that you can do better than this, you can find yourself someone that values more from the start.. someone that calls you from their real phone number

As I was jumping into the tractor I heard my name being called and who was it.... yes her! I got a bit of grilling from her since I never replied to her message or accepted her friend request on Instagram. I do know how to pick them!!!! By the way I am 30 and she is 28. Since seeing her this evening I have had 3 missed calls on a private number that I haven’t answered and I never get private number calls so I dunno!!!!!

When people show you their true colours - don’t ignore them. I do acknowledge it’s tough though OP - somebody you once liked pursuing you...just remember her treatment of you. Like god if you got together and you broke up with her in a few months time what would she be like then???? Equally she could disappear again.

I told her straight out that it was “you that ghosted and blocked me” so I have got the hint now and I ain’t going back. If this is the way you treat me after 3 months, 7 dates god only knows what could happen in the future. She said she is stressed with work and needed time to clear her head. I just told her straight if I knew that I would have left you alone or helped ya. She just asked me to think about it. As for ringing me on a private number I don’t know....

Surreptitious wrote: » I have an analogy. I am using the word 'man' because the OP is male, before anyone gets offended. A man goes into a bar some night to socialise. He walks in, sits down and orders a pint. He feels a bit awkward. The bar tender isn't talking to him and the atmosphere isn't too good. He knocks back the pint fairly fast because he feels uncomfortable and gets out of there. Then he goes to another bar, he gets chatting to the barman and a regular and ends up having a few drinks but then the bar gets busier and he starts to think maybe I should head off. He finds another bar after walking around for a small bit and he sits at the counter. Everyone in there except the odd few seem to be having a good night. He orders his drink and gets chatting to a couple of people. The drinks starts flowing, the barman remembers his drink, people are chatting away about this and that. He relaxes and ends up there for the night, even might have stayed after time. He wakes up the next day, he might have a bit of a sore head but what he remembers is the last bar, the banter, the general ambience and feels it was worth it after all. He won't go back to the first bar ever again, the second bar, maybe he might have one in there if stuck and the final bar he would gladly drink in there as much as he could because he felt wanted and at ease there. So basically that what it is like with dates. They won't always work and you have to keep trying to find that bar you can chill out in. (Corny? Deal with it)
