I've been attracted to a girl at my school for a little while. Last semester, her and I talked a lot online, and they were fun conversations (a couple of which lasted over 2 hours, and it was nonstop back and forth between the two of us...). In person, though, she never really talked to me a whole lot (even though she talked nonstop to everyone around me). When we did talk to me, she often wouldn't say much, looking away a lot. I wasn't sure what to make of it, but several of my friends who know her said she was just being shy to me...

Now recently, came the real problem. The second week of the semester, I saw that she was on AOL instant messenger, so started a friendly conversation with her. We didn't talk about much - just about how classes were going and other school-related things. We talked for about 15 minutes, and she said she had homework to do, I just said "OK", and that was that.

A couple hours later, she signed off. At least, I thought she did. The next several days, she never signed back on. Then, one day, one of my friends (who had her on his buddy list), told me she was online, and to talk to her. I looked on my list... and she wasn't there. I signed onto a different screen name, and there she was (I did not talk to her, though). She BLOCKED me! And... I have no idea why!

I see her several times a week, and she acts pretty normal to me, and I think she even talks to me more than she did last semester. So... I haven't the slightest clue on what is going on. I was not rude or anything to her when I talked online last week, it was just a short little chat to see how things were going... I'm so confused! Why is she acting normal in person, but blocks me from talking to her online? What to do?

I appreciate your replies.

The times we talked for a couple hours happened last semester, and she was totally fine with, and she continued to talk to me often. It was not until this semester, after I had a very casual conversation with her for only 15 minutes, did she block me without any warning. It was totally out of the blue. Besides that, I never send her any messages when she has her away message up, so when she is doing homework, she always just did that. And, she's got no boyfriend. I just don't understand why she's doing this to me! I haven't even told her how I felt, we've been only ever talking as friends.

It would be one thing if I tried talking to her every day or something, annoying her. But I talked to her just *once* in the past couple months, for a very short time.

Ugh... this sort of thing is so tiring...

Tanyas247 agony auntAfter a two hour conversation, you might have worn out your blossoming friendship. There are a few possibilities, most of which might lead you to reconsider your crush:

1. She has a jealous boyfriend

2. She feels if she talks to you online, she'll lose 2 hours of study time and school is just too important in comparison.

3. She might have blocked you to avoid chatting on a day when she had loads of work to do, then forgot to unblock you all this time.

4. I suppose it's possible that she just doesn't like talking online, but I think she would have kept up better in-person talking if she was really interested.

All in all, I'm afraid this might have been her silent way of telling you she's just not interested. There'll be another lady for you, though.

Best of Luck

cd206 agony auntPersonally, when I like someone (as in REALLY like them) I hate chatting to them online. It seems so impersonal and silly. In person or on the phone is so much better. Why not call her when you feel like a chat? It requires more effort but is so worth it. When a guy calls me I feel fantastic.
