He could've just unblocked me if he thought it was petty to block me after all this time but to like my pictures so I would notice? I'm utterly confused...

 Does WHY he did it make a difference in what you are going to do?
I often see folks asking WHY did someone do something (usually an ex) and I wonder if they think that the ex wants back.
He may just be ready to be civil to you and his liking the pics was his way of saying "sorry" let's be friends (with benefits if I can manage it)
it's always easier for a guy to do the mattress dance with a known girl...
WHY he did it does not matter.
WHAT do you want to happen is what matters.

reader, anonymous, writes (14 December 2014): Anonymous reader brings up a good point: if this is real, he would be upfront. Not beat around the bush with these roundabout gestures to try to get your attention. Interestingly, my ex boyfriend did this to me too. We had a very bad break up in addition to a very bad relationship. He too blocked me from Facebook. About 3 months after we broke up he unblocked me and started liking photos of me. I too felt the same way like wtf? I concluded he was just trying to get my attention, hoping for a reaction. His tactic bothered me cause I couldn't understand why he couldn't just be upfront. I figured his intentions were not real or genuine that's why he was resorting to childish ways to get through to me instead of being an adult, picking up the phone and communicating to me what he wanted or how he felt. So I ignored him. A few months later, I guess when he realized his tactic didn't get me to react, he did eventually start calling me to tell me that he loves me and I guess to reconciliate with me. I could not believe it. He had been so mean to me and such a bad boyfriend that I couldn't believe he had the audacity to contact me again. I never answered his call but he would leave me long voicemails expressing this to me. And text messages. I eventually responded and told him to go jump in a lake. He tried for a two more months after that and eventually stopped calling after my new boyfriend answered his call and told him to eff off. Your ex is immature. His actions are very telling of his character. Just keep ignoring him and move on.

 The only person who really knows why is him ........ maybe it was boredom, maybe he just wants to see what your reaction is.
Personally, if it was a bad breakup and there has been no communication since then and if you are not interested in rekindling the romance, I would simply block him on all social media and be done with it.

I am sorry.
I know how it feels like going through a very bad break-up.
I am in no way saying yours is the same, but my ex used to call me very late at nights, tipsy ( somethign I figured out later since I wasn never familiar with drunk/tipsy calls) and he used to write me very late hours too..
I am just trying to say this to you: what good can come from this, if he can´t be mature and man enough to say to your face what he thinks about you.
No IG, FB, or other social medias is worth it if the love is real, if the person is real- they should be upfront. You deserve better.
Don´t be confused, be alert. think.
