Blocked by crush, what did I do wrong?

Post Reply New Topic

So I'm a 20 year old guy and got formally diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 12. Thankfully I've been lucky enough to have a nice little group of friends that are similar to me, but I really, really struggle with talking to girls. I've been in college for 3 years now, but I never really wanted to talk to any girls. However, there was a girl in a class this semester that just finished up that was super cute. She was pretty shy and quiet like me, and I got the courage to talk to her. It went well, and she gave me her FB and Instagram and we added each other. We were messaging back and forth for a couple weeks. I thought we were getting along well, and turns out we had common interests. She'd only message me once a day and I would too, but I just assumed it was because she was busy with finals and she told me so. After the semester was over, I messaged her saying she's really cool and it would be nice to hang out at a book store and look at books etc. (I was gonna ask in person but she wasn't there on the last day of the semester) She said she was sorry about responding late and that she was busy with work this time. I gave her the benefit of the doubt (She never really logged onto FB anyways) and I said to let me know whenever she is free.

Like a week later with no other contact she messaged me in a pretty apologetic manner saying something along the lines of "I don't wanna hang out because I have a f'd up life and I don't want anyone to be a part of it". She also thanked me for being kind. At this point I felt pretty sympathetic. I wasn't too upset she rejected me and I understood why sorta. I appreciated her telling me and not just completely ignoring me. I wondered what she meant by f****d up life though. I assumed she meant busy with work etc. I was okay with her not wanting to date me. We have a lot of common interests so I wanted to be friends with her if she didn't want to date. I gave it a week and a half or so, and I thought maybe sending her a funny meme that she might like would cheer her up. It said she saw it but didn't respond. I just assumed she was busy or whatever, and sometimes she has missed messages and apologized. So, I gave it another week. She posted publicly about going to a concert on Instagram so to be kind I messaged her a couple days later asking how it was. She saw it, didn't respond. Obviously, I'm not gonna spam her so I didn't say anything more. Couple days later, I noticed she blocked me.

What did I do wrong? Was I being too pushy? I don't think I was coming off as a creep. Having my first true love interest is confusing, and perhaps this is a learning experience. Do you think the "I don't wanna hang out because I have a f'd up life and I don't want anyone in it" line was completely the truth and she was warning me that she may block me subtly? I have no idea.

Any input would be appreciated.

uhh...duplicate post.

I don't think you did anything wrong....seems like she doesn't really know what she wants, and can't really commit to relationships/friendships for whatever reason.

One of my exes broke up with me kind of similarly, he expressed his life was f***d up and he didn't want to drag me down/ruin my life and wouldn't listen when I told him he wouldn't. He just ended up packing his stuff and leaving the state without even telling when or what day he was actually moving so we could say goodbye. I found out because I walked to his apartment and it was locked and cleaned out We talked on the phone later and he said it wouldn't be able to work out. We didn't really stay friends after...I heard from him one other time briefly on website we both used to be on but we never met up or had much actual conversation. Anything and that was the only time since we broke up I ever heard from him again.

But yeah I don't think you did anything wrong...I'd say it's safe to say a friendship with her may not be possible, but perhaps over time she will want to contact you again, but she might not so it's probably best not to focus too much on her. Doesn't seem like she would be a very good friend....even if you guys do have some interests in common.

I mean think about this you like her, probably wouldn't dislike her just because she has some problems in life, but she decided that she's too screwed up or whatever without letting you even have any say.

OP

As a rule of thumb, if a girl doesn't initiate texting with you like every couple of days; then she is not interested. Never.

A rule of thumb#2:

People are never interested to develop friendship with the opposite sex just for the "sake of friendship". And that goes both ways.
Friendships between the opposite sex happen occasionally and by pure chance, like being a friend of a friend, or being in the same activity group and so; but usually people won't go out of their way to build or even to *maintain* friendship with people of the opposite sex (and usually not even with the same sex).

Knowing that, never ever expect that a girl would pull out her phone, open her FB or any chat app, to scroll her contact list searching for your name and tap on your picture to send you a Hello to you just....for the "sake of friendship".

It doesn't happen like that.

She rejected you because she is not into you, and she blocked you because you are a guy, who is not a romance interest for her, and therefore she is not interested to develop friendship with you.

So many of them are nuts, that's why. Get used to it. And if this really was your first love intertest then I guess welcome to the front, soldier.

You might consider looking into MGTOW.

The bf theory is plausible too.

Yeah perhaps there's some bf she wanted to keep a secret. If that turned out to be the case then I guess she was doing the right thing by sparing my feelings.

Unrequited love (it was never love but you get the point) sucks.

if she really likes him, she wouldn't block him - regardless of whatever life difficulties she may have.
