Facebook and Rejection

[blueidealist24]

This guy and I were 'talking' about a potential thing between us (we already knew each other as acquaintances, I maybe would say friends but I hadn't seen him in a long time). He ended things by saying it was too complicated after I got really emotional about some stuff he said (probably a mistake on my part, but it turned my head upside down a bit). I sent him a message that was sort of emotional too, saying I didn't want to lose him as a friend (kind of exaggerating the friendship we had a bit - I'm not sure if you would have even called us friends or only acquaintances). He never answered, but he didn't remove me from facebook or anything. I don't know if this means I should talk to him again or not. I'm leaning toward not, but I keep having moments when I would like to send him a message. I mean, if he thought I was really creepy and horrible he would have blocked me on there, right? I think he just thinks I'm slightly nuts, lol.. but he might think he'll just keep me on the list so he can see what I'm up to sometimes but not directly respond to any messages I send him.

He might have been overwhelmed and did not know how to respond... possibly give it time and just check up on him casually once in a while like asking how he is. You can also try to "like" his status updates or comment on a few of his stuff but don't go overboard...

Don't push it. You don't want to come off eager, needy, or desperate.

Sounds like you two had not even been in a relationship and you became potentially over emotional.

He most likely took this as a sign of things to come within a relationship.

 

If I were him I wouldn't block you as I would see what you exhibited only how you would be in a relationship situation which maybe too much to cope with in the long run.

 

It seems emotions run higher with someone when you are in a relationship with them.

For instance, you can be a friend of someone you may like but then emotional intensity is not there if you are not really interested in them and the friendship is very mush welcome.

 

But for some people when they hear....."now we are in a relationship...." some switch goes on and behavior changes.

I don't think that this is just a facebook issue - but if there is drama before you two even start DATING, that's the kind of thing that can putt off a man. i'd leave it alone. sometimes they come back if you give them space.

Yeah, that's exactly what it was like, except him even ENTERTAINING the idea of dating me was enough to flip the switch.
