Does anyone know if you blacklist a user on match.com, will this stop your profile appearing in their search results?

Thanks for the suggestion but nothing on that thread about it! Anyone else know the answer?!

Have you checked out the other 40 threads? [smile}

What I was suggesting is that you post a response and ask outright rather than trawl through umpteen threads.

Really confused, match dating site doesn’t answer the question, was wondering if anyone could shed light on this?
If I have been blacklisted how can I still wink at them, and in return them me. It says in March you can’t do that...... however I know I’ve been blocked as it states when I try and message him ....

If someone has blocked you why are you still trying to wink at them?

There is more to it than that. We chatted for ages and distance was putting him off3 times he backed out of meeting up. Two times he carried on chatting. The last time I told him he would have to blacklist me as it was too tempting to not drop him a line. So he did.....he seemed genuinely nice. However we have been winking at each other now every day for three weeks.... he’s also changed his profile and included stuff that I said???
I know I’m probably acting a bit sad and I know I would be saying the same if it was the other way round, but it’s driving me crazy.... I have talked nd even gone on a date with someone else, but I made myself do that really .... I think I need to just suspend my account and stop being a saddo... thinking it’s something out of mills and boon book. Just good to not feel alone I suppose

If someone has blocked you, you can still see them but you can't contact them, and they can't see you anymore

There are 126 dating threads now. And this is a zombie thread

So how come he keeps winking then ?

Sorry I’m a bit of a technophobe what does that mean?

If you block someone on Match, your emails disappear, you no longer show up in their search results and they are no longer able to see when you are online.

I know that from my extensive blocking of people on there! And from the occasions when I didn't behave as I 'ought to' and found myself blocked by them Match.com - blacklisting a user | Mumsnet (1)

So is the winking then on purpose from him do you think? or is it just a computer glitch?

Well it's not an accident but, if you've blocked him, why are you bothered?

And you might want to start your own thread. Otherwise you'll be ignored as this is a zombie thread.

Sanguine1 · 15/01/2018 23:56

Yeah I’ve just been googling zombie threads and didn’t realise I’d started one back up, first time on here. Now I know though . He blocked me though .
Thanks everyone for the info

This is Match? On PoF, people still show up in searches if blocked, you just can't contact them. On Match, they don't show any more but you can search for them by username.

So if he blocked you it means he's searching you by username, in which case he will be able to find you, and sending the winks deliberately.

But it will only be to mess with your head, so ignore it.

Anyone doing odd stuff on online dating is someone to be ignored. There's a lot of push/pull in this which is, I'm sorry to say, not because he is in love and hopes he can be with you.

He's playing with you. And not in a nice way.

Yes I your right, he could easily unblock me if he was serious. I think I need to chalk it up to experience and suspend my account and have a break from it. Thanks for the heads up
