    Probably the recommendation / good match / whatever the term was, who I decided to contact with a message that wasn’t a plain “hi”, y’know, actually put some effort in.

    Straight up blocked. You’d think I’d gone d**k-pic level nuclear, but my main crime, that I can figure, is that I waffled on too long and came off as crazy. I would have been satisfied with a “No thanks.”

    I’d been ignored / not responded to plenty of times, but that was the first and only time I’d been blocked, so it was an unexpected bruising of the ego, I guess.

    The being blocked wasn’t the whole of it though. The site kept recommending that person to me over and over afterwards, rubbing salt in the wound. I think I eventually contacted support to tell them that maybe block lists should matter when recommendations are being made.

    Now it turns out that I’m not entirely sane, so she dodged a bullet I guess. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
