Hi Chris Seiter! I must say, you are a Prince! You are a man’s mind reader! How did you know? Just 3 days after you said “blockers turn to unblockers”, I got unblocked! After 3 months of being blocked and punished. It is unbelievable! I won’t react of course. Following your advice and rules. I am thinking to even tell him a little white lie, that I got a boyfriend, if he reaches out first! So he has to wait until I am free again one day, haha.

May I please ask your opinion on age gaps? Let’s say you had a twin brother, who was 30, and I had the looks and age of Sofia Vergara (47) and loved him with all my heart. Would you encourage him to start a relationship with me? My pastor had said age is just a number, and love is a reaction of the heart, not of the brain. But what do you think? Is logic superior? 🙂

I agree with your pastor. Age is so far on the bottom of the list when it comes to having a lasting connection with someone else, unless the gap is huge and even then, plenty of people make it work.

Hi Chris,

Please help!

We have known each other for a year and half, in the beginning, it was romantic relationship but only last for 2 months. Then he asked me to be friend as he enjoyed the time with me. So, we were friends, occasionally text or meet up, sometimes at my house having dinner and snuggling together watch movie, or even had a few kisses. But no physical, because we were under the cap of “friends”. I did not date anyone else, he did (on dating sites) but he told me that he is not ready for relationship as he cannot get over his previous marriage as it was quite hurt. I understand that and I did not push him, did not have the talk. But we were at friends stage for a year, he offered me to stay over his house while I was going through a tough time. Then that got me thinking I had to have the talk to clarify things with him.

Then last week, we met up and talked about it, I made myself really clear that I have the expectation to have a relationship with him. He was suggesting me to keep my options open. The talk didn’t go well, he said we will carry on the talk, but we didn’t. So, this Tuesday, I sent him a text to close things, and he replied and then blocked me.

Sorry I have to put the original texts here as I think that matters when you judge what was the reason he blocked me. This is what I sent to him:

“I thought a lot. one year and half, I still remember that not to hot summer morning, you were in your casual suit and glasses standing in front a [place] looking at me, that was the first time we met…been a while…now I am writing this to you, feel like a dream.
In the past I was holding my feelings to myself, pretending to be a friend, pretending not care, justifying your behavior thinking you like me…I am tired. So i think it’s time to let you go and be myself. I understand you are not ready, maybe when you are, I am still around or not.
Hopefully everything will just work out on its own pattern and in a good way.
Loved you. Take care. xx”

He replied:
“I wish you all the best and your life turns out to me a fairy tale. I am a broken person almost beyond repairs. And at this stage I dont want to fix it. I become selfish in someways and lazy with my feelings and scared to attach to someone.
You are an awesome person with so much love to give, intelligent, great mum, adventurous, just a nice genuine person.
I will miss talking to you and when I do and know I have missed an opportunity to have a good life with someone who loves me as who I am.
I wish you all the best and I will me you.”

Then 3 minutes later, he sent “I will need to disappear for good to protect my feelings and close off from things, so dont take it personally.”

Then he blocked me on Whatsapp. I dont know if he blocked me on phone, I am scared to check. He does not have other social media.

I like him a lot, even I can put up with him with someone else as long as he talks to me, doesn’t ignore me, care about me. But I cannot feel that he cares about me. That’s why I decided to end it. But not end it like this. I wanted the time apart so maybe he could miss me and realise I am the right one.

Really, please help, will he unblock me, my gut feeling is not. I think he had enough with me, am I right?

He is 47 years, one marriage, 2 kids. I am 38, one marriage, 1 kid, if this background info helps.

Many thanks Chris, please help!

I can see you have been thru a lot. Sometimes what’s best is to have some extend time and space apart and use this time to not only realize some of the healing and recovery you so much deserve, but also employ it as a period of reflection…just as he too will need to reflect on what is meaningful in his life. Take a look at my Program “EBR Pro” for more details.

Just wondering! Did any girl get unblocked? And if so, when did it happen?

My ex keeps me blocked on messenger for a 3rd month, so I don’t think he will ever unblock me there. So I wonder. This is a partial block.

Why did he put an eternal partial block? Why didn’t he put a full block instead? In my case, if I know I am done, then I will put a full block. Is there any logic in a man’s mind? 🙂

Hi Marcia….it is not unusual for blockers to later turn into unblockers. He probably wants to keep his options open.

Hi Chris,
Just reviewing my situation, merely for statistic purposes….
So I was on “ignore messages” for 1 month. Then I was on block on messenger for 1 month. So I did NC to him for a month as well. Then I decided to look superior than him, so I sent a happy Easter card on messenger. Although I am blocked, I think he gets notified “there is a chat request from a person you blocked”. So he will know I tried to message him, or he may even be able to secretely view the e-card.

I hate being still blocked. No way do I want such a jerk into my life. He is very spoilt as he is good looking. But obviously, he lacks greatly in the heart department. So I don’t understand. If he got a new gf, seeing what a jerk he is, she would have adandoned him in 2 months tops. No girl will stand such rude behavior. So, why isn’t he coming back? My exes always, always, always, came back. I quess I can’t stand this one breaking the rule. Blocking was the wrong way to make a woman want to fall again into the trap of ” friend with benefits”. If he blocked me for that reason, he failed. Now even if he unblocked me and returned with a ring, I will tell him we can be friends but nothing more. Blocking has killed any feelings I had. Finally, blocking is poisonous. It creates emotional death.

I was hoping you could provide some insight. Five years ago, I met the guy who instantly made my heart stop. He made me too nervous and I shortly started working somewhere else-yet always had a crush. He’d come in from time to time -his friend was our new manager. Right before I quit that job, I initiated a conversation and friend requested him that night. He messaged and finally asked me out. We were inseparable for five months, met his mom and grandma at the fair, he wanted me to meet his dad at dinner, FaceTimed his sister, met his close friends. After harboring a five year crush, I was dating my dream guy and fell in love. I asked him on three different occasions if he was seeing anyone else (gave him an out and he always said no). We never had the talk, but his friends called me his girlfriend and he himself did As well. I worked up the courage to confess my feelings and made him a book and the last page said, I’m in love with you. I left it for him at his house on a Friday. He went radio silent until Monday where I got a single text: I’d be lying if I said I was in love with you, I’m so sorry I hope you understand.
Three weeks later he and some girl 12 years younger than him traveled to a different city and check in on Facebook. Three weeks after that, there were Facebook official. Shortly after, he blocked me on social media.
I sent one angry text letting him know I didn’t think he was a good person but other than that, I’ve been NC.
What are your thoughts?

I was dating this guy for over a month. It was okay initially but after sometime, he started acting distant, when asked he said he doesn’t want this. He ended up blocking me. I called him from my friend’ Phone a few days later and asked him what went wrong? He said he still has feelings for me but a lot has been going on in his life right now, so he cannot be with me. He eventually ended up unblocking me and said that we should give it another shot.
A few days later he started acting distant again, and that annoyed me so we had an argument. The next day he has ended up blocking me again
I haven’t contacted him ever since and am doing the NC, and intent to contact him after a month. I was wondering if that is even worth it ?
I am however sure that we had a great connection and that is what made me want to give it another shot. Will he be unblocking me ?

I was seeing a guy for two months, it didn’t start off the best as we had a disagreement about something so I removed him as a friend from my social media sites. Moving on though a following few days later we got back in touch by a mutual friend and began talking again, everything was going well at first, talking loads and loads and constant contact. We met a couple of weeks after our first date, I have to say I wasn’t sold on how it went, something was missing but we still had fun and I said I’d still give him another chance, our second one went better, but then his brother and friend ended up attending for some of it. We live around 1 hour or more apart and we both work loads so it’s hard to see each other, I will give us that. But it had reached the stage of 3 weeks almost and we hadn’t met up or even any suggestions we might. I was beginning to take the hint that he wasn’t interested anymore, I got annoyed and send him a powerful message, it was negative enough and I suppose it came across like I wanted to fight and he wouldn’t think twice to argue back. Cutting a long story short after this disagreement I decided the following evening I would message him and see how things where, and then I decided it was time to call it quits as it just seemed like it wasn’t progressing anywhere. I never ended it because I didn’t have feelings, I made that clear but it just felt like the right decision at the time. He replied and stated he had no intentions to end things and wondered where did I get this idea from, but if that’s how I felt to go with my gut and I wished him happiness so he “supposed he wished it back”. We communite via Snapchat so the following two days after he would send me random Snapchat’s but I didn’t reply, the following day after that, he didn’t send me one so I sent him one, he replied being friendly sending kiss faces and calling me “hun” that was his pet name for me for being flirty. We spoke that night and into the Next day, all seemed ok, I wasn’t sure if we were gonna speak about ending it and giving it another go or just being civil and friendly but I was happy we could still get along anyway, and hoping secretly he had maybe had learned a thing or two in the few days we didn’t speak. That evening, I come home to being blocked on all social media sites he has me on. I rang him 3 times and texted him but all I got was “hello” “yeah” and ????? To my text message when I poured my heart out to be explained why I was blocked. He was out with his friend who really doesn’t like me. I believe he may or influenced him as well but, It makes no sense to me, can you shed some light on this situation for me or provide any insight to what may of happened? I enjoyed the post and thought it was really helpful but telling my story and getting another opinion may help.

I can see there is a lot going on here. Hang in there Paula. If you have a sensible ex recovery plan, it can help things going forward. It appears to me that you would be a good candidate for implementing the NC Rule given its advantages in the healing department and allowing time and space to create some value appreciation.

Hi Chris:

Should I ask for my friends’ forgiveness again?
He told me he forgives me if I am truly forgive.
We had rough broke up last year, we didn’t contact with each other for a year.
I would like to ask him did he really forgive me? Cause I couldn’t let me go. Should I?

I talked to this boy for around two months and I realized that he started to like me a lot. He was texting me around 5 times a day, and at nights we used to text for hours. We were just talking about life and future, nothing sexually, and we could go on for hours. I don’t really know how. But when I realized that he stared to like me a lot,I though he was crazy. I though you can’t just fall for someone like that so fast, so I become mean to him. And he was still nice to me but I couldn’t handle it so I blocked him for weeks. Then I felt sorry and unblocked him and he added me right away. I though “omg, he probably been checking if he’s still blocked” like everyday, so I start to talk to him slowly like just friends but he keept ignoring me. So few days later he blocks me, and I felt so bad, I though why ? after 3 days he unblocked me, I don’t know if this means he don’t wanna talk to me or maybe he just want me to feel same pain as he felt? I don’t understand this behavior, I do feel bad after all. It was like I really had the perfect guy in front of me but I was busy getting attention from other stupid guys that I don’t even talk to anymore. What should I do? I do miss him a lot. I don’t want him to feel like “oh she got back, now I got her wrapped around my fingers” should I text him and tell him I miss him? Or should I just leave it ?

Hello, my boyfriend of 2 years has blocked me on all forms of communication. He refuses to talk to me and tells people that breaking up with me was the only way to get out this situation. Apparently, I was not showing him enough attention and love and felt like nothing would get better. However I wrote him multiple letters explaining like if we could just talk about it. I can understand what I did and work on being a better girlfriend to him. We had planned to get married and start our life together soon. But he left without a word, blocked me on everything, and said never to contact him again. I want him back but I feel like it may be too late.

Hi Chris,

Story time 🙂 So I met my coworker (the guy) 2 years ago. He worked in the office but I only visited for office gatherings a remote worker. I’ve always found him attractive but never thought to date him initially. Fast forward to summer 2018. We start chatting whenever I visited the office and out of no where there was a mutual spark. I can recall the exact day I developed feelings for him…he wasn’t really my ex bf but we were talking a little and meeting up sometimes. The attraction was VERY strong and I know at one point in time it was mutual. After awhile he started to act hot and cold. I’m not gonna lie I started to act a little desperate and needy at some points. I also felt I was trying to hard to make mold him into a better employee/person. Usually I’m very cold with men and play hard to get. It’s not even playing, it I’m only semi interested (99% of the time) I’m not very responsive. Not to brag but most guys I engage with text me frequently even after ignoring several of their text. If I wanted to have a man to fill in gap or void, I could have a doting bf tomorrow. In many ways I feel like a female Don Juan or player…I’m actually terrified about commitment but for some reason this ONE guy got me weak. He makes me want to commit to him and him only. It’s like when I fall for someone which is RARE to nearly never…I in turn into a love struck fool. So fast forward Sept 2018 the last time I saw him in person ever…it was a great encounter…lots of attraction lots of chemistry…I sent him a text 5 days after that encounter no response..then about 5 days after that he got laid off..i found out by accident..so I tried to contact him bc I was sad and worried about him. He responded but didn’t seem in the mood to chat…So next day I tried calling him. No response. So I said to myself I’ll give it 7-10 days before reaching out. So I wait. Come to find out I’m blocked on iMessage. I was devastated. I do suspect there could have been another girl or girls in his life but this still hurt like crazy. I’ve tried texting him occasionally over the last few months to check but still blocked. It’s been 6 near 7 months since any contact…I am not blocked on WhatsApp though but we have never chatted there. At this point I just want to hear from him even if we never become anything. It upsets me things ended on bad terms. My question is since we haven’t spoken 6 or 7 months would it be a problem to message him on WhatsApp saying “hey how are things, hope all is well” ? I have ZERO expectations set and at this point just want to be cool with him. I don’t even need to be his friend I just don’t want to be someone totally blocked out. I don’t want him to think of me negatively. Of course I want to be with him but at this point I’m okay with being an occasional acquaintance that chats with him once in awhile. Is it okay for me to text him on WhatsApp or am I being a creepy and ridiculous. I’m not going to try to get back, I just want to reestablish communication and leave the door open if he ever does gain interest…any thought on this would be appreciated. Apologies for being long winded…I’m kinda a creative writer lol

HI There Jane Doe! So it seems to me you would benefit by reaching out and proceeding slowly. Consider picking up my Program, particularly the “Texting Bible”, as it can help you with restarting communications in the right way.

Hi Chris,
I broke up last May with a guy who said he never wanted to get married and said we were only FWB, I calmly said I wanted marriage and didn’t want to see him anymore as a fwb. He got very pissed off I guess and unfriended me on Facebook 2 days later. We work together and I continued to be civil in our interactions but never once reached out to him for any kind of personal interaction although he would occasionally share something personal. He left the company more than a month back and a few days ago blocked me on WhatsApp , and I wasn’t even contacting him at all to begin with so made no sense to block me . It did hurt though so I deleted his number 😀 Is there any hope of it working out if I don’t reach out and try to establish contact again after NC? I would really rather he be the one to do that ..

Chris Seiter

April 15, 2019 at 2:28 pm

Hi Saira….so he might reach out first after NC, but my Program allows you to do that too. Check it out if you have not already!

I called him and told him to meet up and talk about my pregnancy. Next day he just told me that he can not marry me but be a father to my baby in a rude way ,he insult me ,he make it sound like it was my fault, he even told me he don’t even care about it.he don’t even try to talk to me nicely .I get hurt and say annoying word and did the abortion after he hurt my feeling.i though he did not meant all of it and me to.because he used to talk about marrying me when we were together.however, he block me in every social media.afer five months I see him in emo even if I was still greiving I say hi like noting happen…we chat and he told me he miss me but right after that he told me that I am assuming facts when I talk to him and block me there again.its been 3 month since our last talk but am still in bad condition I still love him even if he hurt me ,i feel like talking to him will put me in a good mood.the otherwise when I think about all the things i have been through alone i hate him but couldnt get him out of my mind in this couple of days I’m am died little by little slowly, the fact not talking to him after the things is making me low.
I need it advice thanks.

The worst impact of being blocked is that it leaves us powerless, as if our existence suddenly no longer matters. For women with a sense of pride, this hurts. I would rather get a proper closure.

Sadly, when blocked, since there is no closure, you never recover. And if the blockee never comes back with an explanation (no matter how lame his excuse will be) then all he gains for himself is being black-listed, with no chance of ever being trusted again.

I wonder, how can we get the upper hand again, after being blocked? Blocking him back can be a way, but he probably expects it. But I want to get back with an answer he won’t be expecting. I know I could even take a picture wearing a wedding dress (for fun) and holding some flowers, as if I am just getting married. And I can make this photo viewable only for him and some close friends, who I can warn in advance, and even ask them to wish me happiness, so it gets believable…. But that’s like comedies we see on tv. If he sniffs the bluff, he will even be entertained. He will keep blocking more women, to see them magically being married one month later 🙂

Do you think we can do anything at all to get back the upper hand after being blocked? Thank you so much! 🙂

Dear Chris, thank you so much for replying and comforting me. I will take this (failed relationship) as a lesson, as I now have seen what I don’t want in a man. Who knows, in another decade I might be able to ”order” a clone of this man, but with a slightly better behavior!

However, I will keep my cool. I won’t even ring him, to find out if he has also blocked my mobile. Who cares, if he has. After all, as you wisely say, if someone goes out of his way to block us, that proves he feels something, even anger. And anger is a passionate feeling. He has only blocked me in messenger. Perhaps he doesn’t want any new girlfriend to see my messages. Or, he hopes blocking will be the magic trick which will make me return to being a ‘friend with benefits”. He had said ”I found what I always wanted in you”. But I didn’t ask, does he mean finding a relationship without strings, or finding a good character to be with? Who knows. Maybe his mum forced him to block me. He is 30, by the way, and I am 45 although I look a lot younger. And this is why I insisted and felt comfortable so far, thinking the age gap won’t matter.

He hasn’t fully blocked me, so as you teach, he may want to be able to see if I am suffering after the blocking. I am going to pretend I didn’t even notice the blocking, and I am not suffering. Until see him coming back…. And then, I will need to finally have the dreaded ”talk” and say that I am only interested in marriage, even if it lasts a few years. If he finds being married to me boring, he can leave at any stage, no one is anybody’s prisoner.

Finding the right person, is like winning in lottery. I would like to win the lottery, without playing too many times. I think women should not sleep with many men. It devalues us. I would happily wait 10 years for him to come back. I even went to the extreme to say, I would want to marry him even if he was a disabled person. I would love to take care of him. But, best for him to be fine and never need my love.

I wish you to enjoy your family and your happiness for ever! Thank you once again Chris, for making us feel so valued, by replying to us here, and sorry if I took up too much of your time, but sharing my thoughts with a top expert, was of great help….

Hi Chris,
My ex after we having sex, tins did not go down well with me. All I did was texted him and I cost ” pls next time when I tell to give me a hand and you don’t feel like doing it let me know cos you made me have bruce all my VG ” never hard anything from him for like three weeks. I then again text n ask why the radio silence and all he said because of what I texted him, it make him feel like he nobody to me. I was wow, I den went in to No contact on him for like 18 days but he kept checking n watching my status on a daily basis and I posted something mean. He blocked on Whatsapp but am not blocked on imo and messager of like 35 days now, I also did blocked him back. But I feel bad and tinks I have to apologise to him on my mean word I use on my status. Also feel am breaking no contact here cos he Ghosted and gaslighted me frist? I hope am doing the right thing.

Hi Chris, your articles are full of hope and wisdom. Thanks a million for your help to us all in the world..

I have been restricted on my crush’s facebook wall for a year, and when I complained, he lied “I didn’t restrict you, maybe you pressed a button yourself”. I was angry so I distanced myself. Now recently he was leaving my messages “ignored” and unread. Then 2 weeks ago he blocked me on messenger, after he “unignored” and read my messages, which were all light and fun, and a bit on the ironic side (I wrote “can I please be blocked by another guy who bores me, and not from you, huh huh). So now it looks like a gradual blocking, being escalated from him… My feeling tells me he is angry with me. Because he had masterfully caged me in a “friends with benefits category”. I never thought the relationship would never progress! But I was patient for 2 years. Then I decided I can’t allow to feel used for any longer. So I withdrew from the sex but kept sending him friendly texts for like 8 months. He was asking me to meet up but when he realised there was no offer for “benefits” any more, I think he now punished me by all this gradual blocking. He can still see my facebook wall though. I am very patient, hoping one day he will come crawling back, maybe after 10 years. They all do come back after 6-10 years, but by then I don’t want them any more. Sadly let me tell you this was an age gap relationship, as I am 15 years older than him. However, he kept seeing me casually for 2 years. And I allowed it, being understanding and waiting to see a change. I never thought the age gap matters, as I have fallen in love with much older men and also with younger. And always, we split up due to incompatability of characters, not of age numbers.

Well I don’t know if there is anything I can do to turn this around. Especially this blocking shows such disrespect. From total bliss to total disaster…. Is there any advice for my case or do you see it as totally doomed? I hate casual dating. I want a lawful husband. Thank you so much Chris…

Thanks Marcia for your kind words. I agree blocking is never a good solution and people usually do it for the wrong reasons. Just know, no matter how this shakes out, the future is always moving with many opportunities for you.

What a misunderstanding...

March 31, 2019 at 3:17 am

Met guy online/long distance in August ’19. He’s 49 (never married/no kids), I’m 39(never married/no kids). I will say upfront, I can be somewhat elusive and it takes a while for me to open up to people. He came to visit my city twice (Sept & Nov) staying in a hotel, perfect gentleman, took me to dinners, shopping, no pressure or expectation of anything physical. After first visit communicated how much he liked me, and that he expected no immediate physical intimacy nor a microwave relationship, but that he needed to know that I was mentally and physically attracted to him. I replied I was very attracted to him, in so many words.

He visited the second time, things were great. He began to tell all his family and friends about me. I visited his city in December (he paid for flight, I stayed at his house), attended a football game with him, his best friend and bf’s wife. They were amazed how “cute” we were. His family and friends were calling while I was there asking if they would get to meet me. He asked if I had told my family about him, I told him I hadn’t yet, he was a tad upset.

When I returned home we talked about increasing our visits, etc. He shared something personal about his sexual health which I understood, but admittidly was slightly concerened about (although I did not let on to him about my concern.) I could tell he was insecure over the next few days. Several days later we spoke and I asked him how long he would be willing to wait for physical intimacy as I had already decided (sometime ago) to wait until I was engaged to have sex with a new man. (This had nothing to do with what he shared with me regarding his health) The conversation was awkward and I could tell he felt uncomfortable. (Probably thought I was rejecting him from what he shared days later.)

Over the next few weeks he became hot and cold with me. One day telling me he “felt more and more for me and wanted me to be his last,” or that he “really, really wants us to work” and “2019 will be our year” etc. While getting upset over little things and cancelling his visits to my city, the next day, blaming being overwhelmed at work. He started saying that he didnt really “feel that I liked him” etc.

A few weeks later (January) he suggeted I come to visit and told me to get a ticket, he would reimburse me, then he texted me days later saying that we were loosing momentum and that he would mail me payment for the ticket “wishing me the best.” He said he felt rejected from the conversation a few weeks before and by the fact I hadn’t told my family of him and that we “need not communicate any further”. I was upset and replied with a series of texts basically calling him out for this breakup being about his insecurities rather than his reason of me not liking him.

I REALLY LOVE THIS MAN… I did no contact for 35 days, sent a light text, about seeing something that reminded me of him. (No response) I sent an elephant in the room email apologizing for my gaurdedness affecting my openess and accepting the breakup, a few days later. (No response) I waited 10 more days then called (realized I’m blocked) left a nice voicemail saying hello, thinking of him etc. (No response)

I just really feel all this was over a tragic misunderstanding…and that this relationship could/and should be salvaged. What should I do now?

Hey!
My ex broke up with me in January. He claimed he had fallen out of love with me, but he still wanted to be friends. I understood and respected his decision, took his friendship offer and it seemed to me everything was working well.
Then, after nearly two months of our friendship situation, he got angry with me because some mutual friends criticized his behaviour towards me (he believed I had made them think bad of him). And he blocked me on all platforms.
Of course I had to make a mistake of trying to contact him soon after. I asked two mutual friends to talk to him, I sent two e-mails – one a week after an argument, and another one the next week (assuring I hadn’t badmouthed him and that I value him a lot). Literally nothing happened so I realized I must’ve been doing it wrong. Then I found your site and read a bit. I’m currently on day 9. of No Contact (since I’ve been blocked pretty much everywhere, NC means to me no more e-mails and not bringing him up while talking to mutual friends – but I guess that’s something?), I’m also working on myself.

I have two questions:
1. Do I opt for 30 days of NC or rather 45 in this case?
2. If he doesn’t unblock me by the time NC period ends – should I send him a traditional letter or resort to mutual friends’ help?

Hi Gaea!

Probably in that range of 30 – 45 days. My Program calls for a different type of reach out strategy starting slowly first with texting. I dive into the details in my eBook, “Ex Boyfriend Recovery Pro”.

Hey,
What if I don’t have any mutual friends with my ex?
I know some of my ex’s friends, but I’m not personally friends with them.

Hi Shanie…great question! You need not rely on just one tactic. There are usually multiple things you can do to reinforce your value. Are you making use of my ex recovery Program so you understand how all this works.
