Although you thought the first date went well, he ended up blocking your phone number afterward.
You don’t get it.
All of the right signs that a second date was imminent were there.
He was talkative.
Touched you a few times.
Gave you compliments.
Hugged you.
Texted you afterward saying that he had a great time.
It doesn’t make any sense to you that he ended up blocking your phone number.
Peculiarly, he hasn’t blocked you on the dating app you met him on or on his socials.
You don’t know what to make of that.
This is a conundrum, and you are right in thinking that his behavior doesn’t make sense at face value.
His body language was great at the first date, and he texted you afterward saying that he had a great time.
Yet, here you are with your phone number blocked.
So what’s going on?
He isn’t totally certain that he wants to completely write you off as a dating option.
That is why he hasn’t blocked you on the dating app and on his socials.
With this in mind, don’t be surprised if you so happen to see that your phone number has been unblocked in the foreseeable future.
Okay, that said, there is still the question of why he blocked your phone number in the first place, and why he did so after such a good first date.
That’s where the dating app becomes a factor.
Being on a dating app, he is going out on dates with lots of women.
Even though you believed the first date was good, he has been out on better dates with other women he has matched with on the dating app.
To keep himself from being overwhelmed with actively courting more women than he can handle at one time, he blocks your phone number.
If it gives you any solace, you aren’t the first woman he has done this to, nor are you the last.
A guy like this prioritizes women that he has a greater attraction and connection to.
In blocking your phone number, he is demonstrating that you aren’t one of the women he is prioritizing.
Additionally, by blocking your phone number, he relieves himself of having to ask you out on a second date at this time, and he doesn’t have to face the awkwardness of having to avoid your calls.
To reiterate, he isn’t wholly certain about this decision.
That is why he hasn’t blocked you on the dating app and on his socials.
Either way, this is a guy who doesn’t have a high level of interest in you, in comparison to the other women he is matching with on the dating app and taking out on dates.
Keep this in mind should he suddenly unblock your phone number in the foreseeable future.
This is highly probable.
Guys on dating apps have a habit of returning to old matches that they put on the back burner, when they fail with other matches they had prioritized.
The problem with this is, if you let him court you again, you would be rewarding bad behavior, emboldening him to block your phone number again should someone better come along.
