freebird31 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) So my ex accidentally liked one of my photos on social media. we dont follow each other but i just recently made my profile public a couple days ago. He liked one of my photos that i posted a week ago, and when i went to update my profile the "like" was gone so i knew he immediately unliked it. So most likely he was defintely stalking my profile....Background info: we have been broken up for over a year now, and havent seen each other or have had a real conversation in at least a year either. Maybe hes just curious. Should i think anything of it? Edited July 13, 2014 by freebird31
lop98 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I feel for him. It's everyone's worst nightmare and you want to die when you do it. He was curious, that's a fact. From being curious to wanting something or wanting to try, that's a long stretch. We all stalk everyone's social media really... I'll sometimes find myself late at night seeing the pictures of the aunt of an old co-worker's ex-boyfriend, so it's normal to stalk an ex with more dedication these days. 2
Author freebird31 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Haha I know. I've done the same before as well. It sucks. Lol But yea definitely. The weird part is that I think he actually searched my name. Like he didn't just happen to come across my profile bc I haven't had any recent activity. So he def looked my name up which is weird. Cus I posted something a couple of days ago that our mutual friends might have "liked" and he must have saw it and from there went to my profile. But I really think he searched my name this time and looked at my profile a second time. Idk. Lmao. Totally over analyzing this lool. Whatevs. We all do it I guess.
sugarlove Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Ugh, I accidentally made a call via Viper to my ex. Scared the beegesus out of me, seriously. I uninstalled the app straight away. Try not to over think it, if he wants to talk to you, he will do it soon. 1
HeartbrokenNewbie Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I bet he feels like a right plank lol x 1
Eternal Sunshine Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Don't attach much meaning to it. When I am bored, I look at my ex's profile and like 5 other exs before him. I don't have feelings for any of them, I just want to know how their lives turned out. 2
irresolute Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Don't have second thoughts. He's just curious but as he unlike the pic it's clear he doesn't want you to know. That's right, if he would wanted to talk to you, he would have contacted you. One year is a long time. Move on now 1
zen2475 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Sometimes it takes exes a long time to build up the courage to speak to you. Social media helps them "keep tabs" on you, and when they feel comfortable and have sufficient courage, they reach out. Or sometimes not. Sometimes they stalk, like many of us do, just out of curiosity. Only time will tell if he wants to really reach out to you and talk, but I wouldn't invest an ounce of energy into speculating about what his motivations are. Just keep on going on with your life. 1
Author freebird31 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks guys. Really needed that reassurance that it didn't mean anything. Although it is kind of annoying, yet glorifying at the same time won't lie lol. ESP because my recent posts I've been really positive and have this new energy I def think he sensed that, GOOD. I think I'll just leave it public.
BC1980 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 It's just curiosity. Social media makes it easy to stalk exes. I would block him, so you don't start spinning your wheels like this again. If you're not in the frame of mind to take this in stride, I think you should block him.
elseaacych Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I'm pretty sure at this point in time you can unlike a like on facebook. But then again, I may be wrong. Point being, don't read too much into it, if he really wanted to contact you, he would have done much more than just like a photo. Be flattered and let it go.
Author freebird31 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Why would someone "like" a photo a 6am? That's the time he liked it. Who does this? 6am? Did he just wake up or something and say "I'm going to search my exes name on Instagram this morning." NO ONE does this! I can understand late at night when can't sleep or your just lying in bed browsing your phone. But 6am?? You don't log into Instagram at 6am without a motive. That's just WEIRD. Well he's blocked now. Forever. I can't have this in my life anymore. It's been over a year and he's still playing games with my mind. I just can't. We obviously can't coexist on social media been after a YEAR so he's blocked for good. And the photo he accidentally liked was a selfie of me.

It's a total waste of your time to worry about this guy.
ASG Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Maybe he had a bout of insomnia so was trolling the internet for stuff to entertain him. Maybe he was up early for work. There are endless possibilities. Just because you wouldn't be up at 6am doesn't mean other people aren't! but you've blocked him now. Problem solved.
Author freebird31 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 I'm glad you blocked him. It's a total waste of your time to worry about this guy. I'm upset BC1980. I can't believe he is still messing with me. He did this to me for months after he break up.! Messed with my mind and sent mixed signals, didn't want to maintain NC. That was the past. And I thought that's where we left that drama , in the past. It's been a YEAR since we have seen each other. Last time we had a conversation was almost a hear ago as well. I made a peace offering a couple months back (regrettably) and that was it. And now THIS? Like I just don't understand why I can't get away from this guy? I'm so upset and frustrated! It's been too long now!
edgygirl Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Darling. If he went to a club or had a long party... and something made him miss you... that's when it happens at 6am... after you get home and you're a bit depressed about your life. Alternatively who knows maybe he is in Asia and it's actually 6pm now. In any case, it does feel glorious to know. And to know that he knows that you know. Hahaha! And a selfie! I feel happy for you in a way Why would someone "like" a photo a 6am? That's the time he liked it. Who does this? 6am?

Author freebird31 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 We have been broken up for ONE year and three months. And I still feel like my mind is being messed with. I'm so . Ugh. I don't even know anymore.

irresolute Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 There are no accidents. Not even at 6 am. Good job blocking him
FitnessRN Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Just had one of the girls I dated and cut ties with dating (she wanted to be friends and it didn't bother me..I dodged a bullet) "like" two statuses in a row and a pic I posted on myself..probably doesn't help when the new girl you are hanging out with blows her out of the water and is tagging her in photos and she's with a guy who's a loser.
JBlackstone Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I wouldn't think anything of it as I definitely find myself looking at exs' pages and such. Mostly out of the same curiosity that I would be interested in random gossip. It isn't due to me having feelings for them. Sometimes it's just a random thought that will pop into my head that leads me to doing a quick peep of their page. On another note, I did accidentally friend request my now ex's ex. I immediately unclicked it but if she got email notifications it would have been too late. I was horrified.
