i (23f) reconnected w an old hookup (24m) on a dating app after 2 whole years on recently, over a month ago. he came in hot and heavy complimenting me, long paragraphs, telling me how he doesnt want to ruin anything this time, asked me out on a date once my schedule clears up (and honestly even though it felt too soon, i trusted the connection since ive known him back in uni), everything went great for a week and soon i tell him i cant be prompt over text bec of my schedule, and he says thats okay baby i understand. 

2 days later i send texts since i got free that night asking if i could call him to chat and i get no response for hours so i send another text asking if he was busy and no response, and lastly i ask him to lmk straight up if he thinks this might not work out to which he doesnt respond until 3 days after saying he got caught up w work and says nothing as such, just busy and i say thats alr (and ik he was active the whole time and i was soooo confused). 

10 days later he texts me saying he wants to meet up, and i got so excited bec i thought his silence meant this was subtly over. we meet the next day. i think it went great bec we spent all that time together but i think i was rushy bec i had to be home soon and couldnt fully enjoy myself given my schedule (im a student and have exams coming up), by the end i got vvvvvv tipsy, he dropped me off, texts me remember to drink water baby girl and all that all cool we even hug and part ways. 

next morning i pay him back for his cab ride bec i felt bad he had to travel all the way just to drop me off and ask him to lmk when he wants to talk since i felt like we had to address how things were great conversation wise but not so much physically. 

i sent a long ass text saying - idt its that big a deal that we couldnt do it well (and no ego was bruised lol bec if anything we addressed it right before we were leaving and he seemed to not be bothered at all and also add on, the whole cab ride back to mine i was on his shoulders asleep and i just felt so safe w him.) im also so glad that we reconnected and how no matter where this ends up im j rly happy we met and also how im so grateful he dropped me off. -  and literally nothing from him. i sent that text the v next day.

and then i checked in again a week later w an old picture of us and then even when then he doesnt respond i send a text saying i understand if hes taking his time to think ab us which is fine and something i appreciate but pls lmk if the silence is for that as im assuming and not bec i did or said something to deter him and NOTHING FROM HIM literally nothing. 

And finally i sent a text saying how if we cant even communicate this is pretty much over bec i fail to understand how or what could be so bad that he wouldnt even speak to me and its pretty much over for me. and boom blocked. turns out he blocked me. idk when the block happened but i looked at his profile recently and im blocked. 

and let me make it v clear, the entire reason i texted him multiple times was bec i thought it went great and i could tell he had a good time as well but to get vulnerable like that only to be met w silence and now blocked is messing w my head. i simply cant fathom how or what went wrong.

heads up - this is a vv long post, im hoping those of u who make it through can help me understand what might've gone wrong bec i rly cant seem to undertand what happened.

i (pisces, 23f) reconnected w an old hookup (cancer, 24m) on a dating app after 2 whole years on recently, over a month ago. he came in hot and heavy complimenting me, telling me how he doesnt want to ruin anything this time, asked me out on a date once i my schedule eases up (and honestly even though it felt too soon, i trusted the connection since ive known him back in uni), everything went great for a week and soon i tell him i cant be prompt over text bec of my schedule, and he says thats okay baby i understand. 

2 days later i send texts asking if he wants to get on a call and a bunch of memes bec i was free that day, he doesnt respond at all. the last of those texts was basically me asking him to lmk straight up if he thinks this might not work out to which he doesnt respond until 3 days later saying he got caught up w work and says nothing as such ab us not working out, just busy and i say thats alr (and ik he was active the whole time and i was soooo confused). 

10 days later he texts me saying he wants to meet up, and i got so excited bec i thought his silence meant this was silently over. we meet the next day. i think it went great bec we spent all that time together but i think i was rushy (and he knew we had a time constraint bec of me, its not like i rushed him out of nowhere) bec i had to be home soon and couldnt fully enjoy myself given my schedule, and by the end i got vvvv tipsy, he dropped me off, we hug and part ways and later he texts me remember to drink water, eat up and etc and all that all cool . 

next morning i pay him back for his cab ride bec i felt bad he had to travel all the way j to drop me off and ask him to lmk when he wants to talk since i felt like we had to address how things were great conversation wise but not so much physically. i sent a long ass text saying - i had a rly good time and it was lovely reconnecting w you and idt its that big a deal that we couldnt do it well (i have to say no egos were bruised bec we addressed the issue a lil even before parting ways and he seemed to not be v bothered by it), (and also how the whole cab ride back to mine i was on his shoulders asleep and i just felt so safe w him.) im also so glad that we reconnected and how no matter where this ends up im j rly happy we met and also how im so grateful he dropped me off. -  and literally nothing from him. i sent that text the v next day.
