He was texting his ex at the time though so I didn't let it go any further than just friendly conversation. I found out a couple weeks ago that he is now definitely single and has cut off all contact with his ex. I know this from our mutual friends. Our friend texted this man my number but I wasn’t expecting the man to text me (and he hasn't either...). I added him on facebook a few days after this as well as adding one of his other friends who was out with us on New Year ’s Eve. Both of them accepted the friend requests I sent. I visited our mutual friend again a few days later and we got to talking about the man I had met. The friend gave me the man's number and asked why I hadn't already contacted him if I like him (e.g. texted him or sent him a message on facebook) (answer: because I'll end up looking desperate if I do that...and also because the man never gave me his number himself...(I never asked for it)). Anyway, that was all a week ago. I have not texted the man or emailed him on facebook, nor have I heard from this man myself. I do not intend to text or email him. I guess my question is did he think I was desperate when he was sent my number by our mutual friend and why did he accept the friend request on Facebook if he thinks that? Also, our friend said he is always on Facebook (the man I like) but he does not appear to have been on it for the last few days. Do you think he has blocked me from seeing certain parts of his profile? I can still see when new friends have been added on his profile. I still talk to other men that I know on Facebook and he is able to see all of that on my profile. I am not desperate to get in a relationship with him, I just don't like the idea of him thinking I'm desperate. Neither of us is leading each other on as there has been no other contact other than me adding him on facebook. I have no intention of emailing or texting him to deliberately get a response out of him. Would have been nice to get to know him better though but I guess I can't do that if neither of us starts the communication...? I would appreciate your views on my situation please. Thanks!

 Maybe he needed time to heal before getting into a new relationship. But he has had your phone number for months now and still has'nt used it. Take that as a sign and move on.

I believe you shouldnt have jumped into this too soon as this guy is likely still getting over his ex GF. I suggest you forget a little about him for now and ask your mutual friend for help in a couple weeeks. Im sure this man likes you but he finds it hard to. Text him if u feel like and tell him your friend gave u his number, im sure he wont mind. Oh And btw as far as i know im not aware of any way to block certain parts of ur facebook profile just to some people so do not worry about tht. He hasnt had time to check out his FB most likely.
Good luck i hope i was helpful girl!
