mike588 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 How do you block an ex. who's a friend on Facebook?? Please be somewhat detailed. Also will she be notified that I've blocked her??? Thanks alot.
Daremo_06 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Click on their name so their profile shows up. On the left column, should be a list of your current friends. Scroll to the bottom and there will be options for suggesting friends, unfriending, and report/block. You may have to unfriend first, and then select block.
radiodarcy Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) on the left hand side of your profile-- right under where it lists your friends, there's an option for "report/block". click on that, click on "block so and so" and then give an explanation. then just click on "continue" and your done. i know for sure this is how is works because i just used it to block this annoying girl who posts irritating cutesy stuff on my wall i don't believe it alerts the person that they've been blocked. they just won't be able to see you if they try and search you. now, if she tries to search you and can't and then asks a friend to search for you and you come up - - then she'd figure it out. but other than that, there's no formal way she would be able to know that she's been blocked - - at least not that i know of.

Author mike588 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks alot.Yea I'd like to know if she will be notified, anyone know for sure. When deleting her from my friends list,, I assume I wont be able to see her posts/ I guess so cause I wont be her friend. I don't want to read her posts!
M2155 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 If you block them, they do not get notified. You will not show up if she searches for you and she will not be able to see anything you post on others' walls. I think the only exception is some of the 3rd party application/games but I don't know much about that. Like the previous poster said, if she searched from a friend's account, she would figure out you blocked her. But it's really not that big a deal, if she's searching, at least you know she is curious. If you defriend then she will still be able to find you and see what information you've made available to public or friends-of-friends. You would still see her comments on mutual friends' posts and so on. Personally I like "defriend" over block but it depends on what you're going for. I think it says "hey we're not friends right now" but leaves it open for them to refriend in the future. But at the same time if you need to shut it down totally and move on (which I think you do), block. No temptation. I ultimately decided to keep my ex out of future nosiness and I just don't look at his page (so far anyway). I blocked his girlfriend though cause I didn't like seeing her comments. I do not advise this approach though!
