Whats the difference between some1 unfriending u on facebook, compared to blocking some1? A work colleague has unfriended me on facebook. Why didn't he just block me if he didn't feel comfortbale with my occasional friendly messages?
P.S, He only did this when I sent him a message via facebook askin if we could talk. Also I have never posted something on his wall nor sent anything provocative/flirty. I am finding all this hurtful & I am very nervous about going back to work tomorrow as I have been off work since I sent him the message via facebook.
P.S I don;t av is number & I can't speak to him in work as he never on his own.
I don't think that is something that can be answered, other than by him.
I know a number of 'friends' seem to have deleting moments (I do have a friend who worries when someone unfriends her), and it could be a simple explanation.
Also perhaps someone else has seen messages on his account and deleted you?
Hi Louise0701
I think it all depends on your FB settings. For example, if his settings were that no-one could see any information whatsoever unless they were his friend then un- friending would effectively be the same as blocking. If his settings are that he doesn't mind his profile being more public then unless you are blocked, you will be able to see his Wall whether you are a "friend" or not, but he then does not get your Newsfeed.
I once "unfriended" someone not because I did not like them but they are a person who spends so much time on Facebook that when I logged on, my whole Homepage and newsfeed was taken up with statuses from this person. You also have to consider whether it is that he does not want all of YOUR friends to access his page.
My best suggestion would be not to mention this to him and to try not to worry about it, he will make a time and place to talk with you if he wants to.

Sometimes Facebook simply unfriends people by accident. It unfriended me from one of my best friends without either of us doing anything. Fortunately we sorted it out though there was an awkward moment when I wondered if I had offended her in some way.
Harissa, I didn't know facebook did that. That could cause a few awkward moments.
I don't tend to really unfriend anyone (pure laziness lol) but I have noticed the number of my friends reduced, where they have obviously unfriended me. Two have taken me off in the past few weeks. That is the one thing I don't like about Facebook (to be honest I don't even know who took me off but I still wondered why they did it ... and I wondered in a huffy way too).
Louise0701 - I agree with Louise. I wouldn't bring it up or make it a big deal as it might make things really uncomfortable. Wait and see.
I don't know the answer to this Louise0701. Perhaps you could ring him, rather than texting or using FB.
