Just ignore him, that's the best thing you can do. Some guys are just quite smug and think they are better than everybody else. He doesn't seem worth being upset over.
Try and focus on doing really well in work! You'll find a lovely guy worth more than him :)

No I never commented much on his fb but yes I had deleted myself off when I was acting emotional
But tried to ask him to readd this year but he hasn't said yes / no anything
I'm not sure why he made contact since he's not been in touch at all but your advice has been all welcome

When somebodies number is blocked on my phone you can tell, it rings once and then cuts off to answer phone so you can tell that your blocked rather than the phone being off. That would just make it look like he's getting under your skin. Maybe change your number instead?I think he's not adding you on Facebook because you freaked out on him. Did you comment on a lot of his things before and it made him uncomfortable? Did you delete him off there in the first place?I know when a guy was interested in me before, but I thought we were just friends, I would text him and talk to him on Facebook. He started commenting on everything I ever posted and I don't really like that. I tried telling him I wasn't interested in a nice way but he would start asking me out again after a few days. I just stopped talking to him so much.I think he just wanted to be friends with you, if you freaked out on him before you ever dated I don't think he's going to change his mind. He may not even realise that you feel like your being blanked.I'm sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, all of the above may not apply to you and you didn't do any of that but it may be one angle. I've been on both ends of this, thinking somebody liked me but they were just my friend. Just focus your attention on somebody else that is interested in you instead.

 You want to punish him for snubbing you, I get it... but really... what't the point?
The more you go out of YOUR way to show him you don't care or that HE lost something vital in his life when snubbing you, the more desperate you will seem.
The more you LIVE your life and enjoy what life has to offer -and ACCEPT that he wasn't the good guy you had hoped for... the sooner he will seem quite insignificant in every way.
WHO cares how he struts around at work?
Roll your eyes at it if you see it and ignore him, ignore his random text. MOVE on with life.
YOU CAN NOT change this dude, this is who he is... YOU CAN NOT change the fact that he snubbed you, nor that it hurt your feelings, but you CAN shake your head at it and let it go. It's not like he is a keeper anyways....

You've had a promotion. Congratulations. Be happy with what you've accomplished.
Who cares what he's up to or he's thinking or feeling about you or anything else? Seriously, find more important thoughts to occupy your brain space with rubbing his face in it.
He is proud of what he's achieved as an admin clerk. Don't look down your nose at him. That sort of bitterness doesn't bring much positive energy to future relationships.

No I'm in a different building to him but same company
I'm just angry that he still thinks he's Mr popular and goes out of his way to look charming yet treats me like an afterthought
We used to be very good friends but after getting close he binned me like I was an embarrassment
And now thinks the odd text is enough
I would just like to show him a big F off without having to if you understand and make him regret losing my friendship at the least

I honestly don't know why you posted this question. It's fairly obvious that you ignore someone that you don't want to see. Are you feeling insecure?
It doesn't seem like he has done anything very bad to you.
He made friends with you. He finished with his ex'. He texted to ask if you were OK. He kept you on friend mode and YOU freaked out.
Now he just checks in occasionally. What is the problem?
You want to put him down as a clerk, and boost yourself as a high flyer. Then you finish with a rather nasty backhander, "Guys never regret do they".
I think you might be the one with a few issues.

I'm with Sageoldguy1465. Ignorance is bliss. Trust me. Letting him get under your skin is a much bigger satisfaction for him and an encouragement too! Block him if you want. But that will only mean you are bothered with his existence. My honest opinion. Let him be and ignore him. Block him when his existence really doesn't bother you anymore. Better closure for you. Some people are just what they are, you can't help them. You can only help yourself.

I agree with Auntie BimBim
Block his number. Block him on social media, make his e-mails (private, not the work ones obviously) go to the spam folder.
When you see him at work ignore him, if you HAVE to deal with him be polite, but make it short, professional with no extra bells or whistles - no flirting, no smiling - just DO your job and go about your business.
Don't waste time wondering what he is thinking, just GO ABOUT your life. ENJOY your life. Spend time with family and friends and screw what he thinks.
You have already wasted time on him, don't continue to do so.

 You block him, you block him on your mobile and on all social media.
At work you treat him with disdain, you don't avoid him nor do you go out of your way to be near him, you treat him like a mere piece of office equipment, lower than a stapler. If you are required to speak or communicate with him for work purposes you are to the point, clear, concise and business like.
And succeed, succeed in your job and in your other relationships, nothing burns a person like him like seeing somebody he did the dirty on getting on with their lives and doing it well.
Good luck!

 You'll be pleasantly surprised to find how effective it is to simply ignore someone, such as this guy, who "gets to you" as much as he does....
P.S. I mean, IGNORE FOREVER!!!!!
Good luck.....
