I had been emailing and IMing with a girl for a few days. Things seemed to be going well, but then in the middle of an IM session tonight the IM window suddenly said that the session had been closed by her. I thought something must have been wrong with the IM session, but when I went back in to try to IM her...there was the word BLOCKED over her picture in the upper right side of the screen. When I tried to send a message to her, it said I couldn't IM her as long as I had her blocked. So I clicked the unblock button and tried to send a message, but never got a response. Restarted and tried again and same thing...the work BLOCKED was in red over her picture and when I tried to send her a message it said *I* was blocking *HER*.

I had not blocked her...at least not initially and when the IM had first crapped out it said she had closed the session. So I went into messaging to check to see if it showed her as being under my Blocked Users and it said I had no one blocked.

I sent her an email message, but even though she was on for another hour or so, the message never showed as read and I never received another IM request.

So I'm just not clear...did she block me for some reason? Or did the system screw up? If I'm blocked would the system still let me see her profile and online status? Would it still let me email her even though she'd never received them?

I am not sure man, but hopefully u figure it out, thats why I say phone is always better...

when you have a block and you email the other person. she wont recieve that email because of the block
so it actually sounds like she blocked you.
you can check your settings as there is a link you can click on where it will say blockage.
and check that and see if you actually did. and if nothing is there then you know it was her


oops. when you click on mail. you will see below that blocked user... click that and it will tell you

Welcome to the site, Chrissc803. As Queene123 posted, if you have been blocked by the lady, it will only seem that your emails are being sent. They will not be delivered to her. As far as IMs go,the system will tell you that you have been blocked by the girl.

Thanks Charles...

So if she blocked me and I sent an IM request, the system would actually state clearly "YOU HAVE BEEN BLOCKED BY USER" and it wouldn't let the attempt go through? Because what I've seen is the IM session opens and says it's waiting for her to connect...but superimposed over her picture in the upper right of the IM window is the word BLOCKED. It appears I've blocked her. And in fact, if I try to go ahead and send her a message it says I must unblock the user before I can send a message to her.

However, when I check my Blocked Users...she is not there. And every attempt to have that IM show her as unblocked resets if I reopen the window.

But...to be honest, I think I've figured out what happened...and yeah...I've been blocked! LOL She missed an email earlier in the week and I continued to operate on the assumption she'd gotten it. ;) ...an assumption which led me FAR FAR astray. LOL So...my bad!

Thanks for your help!

You're quite welcome. If you'd like me to double-check to see that you have been blocked, shoot me an email with her user name (be sure not to post it here).
