I can see if a message has been delivered or not. If it hasn't and isn't for a period of time, I assume block. And if you call, it goes to voice mail. Again... people can DEFINITELY tell. What do you mean delivery receipts? I don’t have my read receipts turned on. Do you mean you call your provider and find out? I really doubt most are going to go through all that

Do you mean you call your provider and find out? I really doubt most are going to go through all that No. I mean in the settings of your messages there's an option to turn on delivery receipts. When you do that, once you send an SMS/Text message, as soon as the recipient receives it, you receive a notification about it. It's not a read receipt. It's a delivery receipt. If I send you a text, I get a notification of whether you have received it or not. On my Samsung smart phone it's in Message settings/ More Settings / Text Messages. This is definitely a thing. 1

I have iPhone. I didn’t turn on anything. I just got the phone and used it. if people can see that I blocked them on there you need to tell me right now?

If I sent you a text RIGHT NOW, I'd be able to tell if you'd received it or not. Because *I* have my delivery receipts turned on. So if we were texting and suddenly my texts stpped going through I might think your phone died or you had no signal. But if that went on for a while, then I'd figure out you had blocked me. Think of it as the whatsapp ticks. 1 tick for sent, 2 ticks for delivered. I can see whether it's 1 tick only or 2 ticks. even on text messages. Edited August 23, 2021 by ASG 1
Miss Spider Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Thanks for the info. I’ll look more into it

I don't know, maybe I was too harsh and acted irrationally but I wasn't at a very good place mentally yesterday after he rescheduled a second time. Somehow that triggered a very bad reaction and I ended up crying on my friend's shoulder for a while about how guys keep on canceling on me the very last minute and how I cannot find anybody to date. I think in this instance being too harsh may have been a good thing. If the men you are meeting have a tendency to cancel on you then you definitely need to raise the bar a bit, which from the sounds of it, you did. It's a bit different if you have been dating a while and you are both running late. Anyway - I hope you are feeling a bit better!
Wiseman2 Posted August 25, 2021 Posted August 25, 2021 Sounds like he's meeting a bunch of women, overbooks and the appointment before yours ran overtime. It's good to get the flakes out of the way early. 1
