He wants to maintain a connection with you by not blocking you on social media.

That said, there are a few motivations for why he blocked you on the dating site.

For one, he blocked you to keep you from being aware of his online activity on the dating site.

Basically, he wants to be incognito to you whenever he is using the dating site.

By blocking you, he doesn’t have to worry about you having access to whether he recently used the dating site, or how long ago he was on it.

In blocking you on the dating site, he does something else.

He frees up his match queue.

This isn’t his first rodeo.

He knows that by blocking you, he sends a signal to the dating site’s match algorithm to send him more potential matches.

He learned this trick a while ago.

In other words, this isn’t the first time he has blocked a girl he matched with on a dating site.

He has done it multiple times to multiple girls.

It has become routine for him to do it.

Whenever he matches with a girl, a mental timer starts.

If he doesn’t talk to her within a preset amount of time, he blocks her profile.

This keeps his match queue from clogging up.

In freeing up his match queue, the dating site’s match algorithm is more likely to send him more potential matches.

Whereas, if his match queue is filled with women who haven’t messaged him, the algorithm is less likely to send him more potential matches.

In a situation where he talks to a match, he keeps the profile unblocked until he has had a few correspondences with her to see whether there is a romantic connection.

Once he determines there isn’t, he blocks her profile.

Again, the idea is to free up his match queue so that he increases his chances of getting the match algorithm to send him more potential matches.

Should he discover that he has a romantic connection with a match, he gets her contact information first, and goes on a date or more with her before blocking her profile.

The motivation for blocking her profile stays the same.

In blocking her, he frees up his match queue, allowing for more potential matches to be sent to him from the match algorithm.

In your case, he wants to keep up a connection, sensing that there is romantic potential.

That is why he hasn’t blocked you on social media.

That said, he is still very much in the hunt.

He is anticipating receiving more matches on the dating site.

Regardless of whether you have had a few good correspondences with him by phone, or been on a few good dates with him, you aren’t all he is after.

Since he isn’t complacent with the idea of solely talking to you, he remains open to the possibility of matching with more women and corresponding with them too.

As long as his profile is active on the dating site, he is prepared to welcome new matches who have the potential to become a future girlfriend, or hookup.

Although you think that you have developed a romantic connection with this guy, he is clearly keeping his dating options open by blocking your profile so that he blinds you to his online activity, or frees up his match queue.

It’s never a good idea to put all of your romantic aspirations on one match.

Keep your dating options open too.

Should you two be the best possible match for each other, that works itself out in time.

Until then, or never, date away.
