Sometimes you enjoy your compliments too much.
Without naming names...
A woman on Instagram I'd been flirting with just blocked me.
Why?
Not because I showered her with awesome compliments and custom attention.
She liked that.
She blocked me when I got territorial over her friends. A male one specifically. Just now.
This male, a relation not her father, said some... well as a male myself I know what stuff they say means. He said some stuff that I would call "creepy".
Now to be fair to her, I knew saying something to him would cause an immediate reaction. I was hoping from him. I was "pecking a fight" to show off to her and to do damage to a boy who shouldn't be drooling after his niece (I assumed).
Instead she went "eek!" and blocked me.
Damn. But also good.
Now I know she doesn't like me. Now I don't have to think semi-constantly about a girl who didn't want me (except for the passive attention I gave her).
She was eating it up without really desiring the source. You do that a lot online. You seek men's attention but not too much. It's free validation for some of you rather than a direct appeal for a boyfriend.
Everything I do online is a direct appeal for a girlfriend. Very obviously. Your motives vary. And I wanted to know hers.
So I said something unignorably provocative. She was either going to enjoy me manhandling her rizzless relation or she was gonna block me for trying and she did the latter.
As suddenly sad as I am, since I was thinking "maybe" about her being with me forever, I am happy I am now not thinking that about someone who's not thinking that about me.
She wasn't considering me. She was enjoying the free attention.
Now I know.
And knowing is half the battle.
To her I say nothing. Message received. To you I say "good riddance to her the freeloading bastard, I hope she does well."
