If you recently ghosted a girl only to discover that she has now blocked you, this should not come as a huge surprise. No matter what your reasons were for ghosting her, ghosting is generally a bad way to end a relationship. Often, the person who has been ghosted will feel hurt and confused. This is especially the case if they had strong feelings for you or did not see the breakup coming. They may have questions about why you wish to end the relationship that will never be answered. If she has blocked you, chances are she wants nothing more to do with you.
First things first, you’re the one who cut her out of your life
Interestingly, ghosters may wonder why the girl they ghosted has now blocked them. This is despite the fact that they themselves have intentionally cut someone out of their life. If you’re the ghoster, were you really expecting that the girl you ghosted would reach out to you? Or, are you wondering why she blocked you? Was she upset that you ghosted her? Or does she now hate your guts? Here are the common reasons why she may have blocked you.
Reason 1. She Was Hurt
If you had been dating for a significant period before you ghosted her, it’s likely that she was hurt by you ghosting her. Ask yourself honestly: how would you feel if someone you like suddenly cut you out of their life? It’s not nice. Realistically, if she had feelings for you, she would have wanted the relationship to continue. She may have even had high hopes that the relationship had a future. Therefore, being ghosted would have been hurtful and possibly even heart-breaking for her.
Different people deal with being hurt differently. However, the fact that she’s blocked you shows that she has accepted you are no longer going to speak to each other again. By blocking you, she has made sure that you will not contact her again and vice versa. After all, there’s nothing more confusing than when a ghoster becomes a zombie.
Reason 2. Maybe She Didn’t Care That Much After All
Perhaps you expected her to reach out to you after ghosting her and find out why you cut off communication. Honestly speaking, no one enjoys being ghosted. However, while some girls will be very hurt, others may be able to brush it off easily. This type of girl will simply accept that you simply did not like her that much and the relationship was not meant to be. Even though she’s probably not thrilled that you ghosted her, she’s not letting it bother her. If she has high self-esteem, she will realize that anyone who ghosts her simply does not deserve a place in her life.
Even if she was annoyed or angry by you ghosting her, she’s keeping it to herself. She may have decided that it’s not worth dwelling on what happened. She has blocked you as a way of closing that chapter and moving on with her life. The last thing she wants to do is spend ages wondering what happened. Don’t dare to hope that she might reach out to you. That ship has sailed.

Reason 3. She’s moved on (with someone else)
It can sometimes take a while for someone to realize that they’ve been ghosted. However, when the reality hits and it becomes apparent that the relationship is over, some people will be able to move on swiftly. If you’ve ghosted a girl and she has blocked you, chances are, she’s already made a conscious decision to cut you out of her life. By blocking you, she is certain that she doesn’t want to get in touch with you ever again. She also does not want to give you any opportunity to contact her. It’s possible that she’s now far too busy with someone new to care about you. She does not want any blast from the past interfering with her current life.
Reason 4. She wants to regain some control over the situation
Being ghosted by someone you’ve been seeing is unpleasant to say the least and can feel like a slap in the face. The girl you ghosted may be shocked that you ghosted her. She may feel foolish that she didn’t see it coming. Not only did she likely invest time and emotions into the relationship, but she may have truly liked you. If she has now blocked you, she may have done so in order to regain some control over the situation. Instead of feeling like she’s the one who’s been rejected and cast aside, she wants to be the one to block you from contacting her.
Reason 5. She doesn’t want to be zombied
What’s worse than being ghosted? Being zombied. In case you didn’t already know, being zombied is when a ghoster suddenly returns from the dead and gets back in touch again. This can be absolutely infuriating for the person who was ghosted. Basically, it’s bad enough being ghosted. But when the ghoster reaches out and seems to want to seamlessly slip back into the other person’s life, it’s shows arrogance and a lack of self-awareness on the ghoster’s part.
By blocking you, she has closed the door and bolted it shut. She does not want to hear from you ever again, regardless of whether you want to apologize or find out how she’s doing. Putting it simply, she’s not interested, and you have no second chance with her.
Reason 6. She doesn’t want you to be able to view her posts on social media
If the girl you ghosted has blocked you on social media, it’s because she doesn’t want you to view her posts and see what she’s up to. This is reasonable considering the two of you no longer communicate. Furthermore, she probably does not want to know what you are up to either. After you ghosted her, the last thing she wants is to have photos of you popping up on her feed.
Accept that it’s over
If you ghosted a girl and are now wondering why she blocked you, you may never know exactly why. It’s likely to be a combination of her being annoyed and/or hurt. It does not necessarily mean that she hates your guts or was distraught by the end of your relationship. She may have dealt with it very well but has concluded that she does not want you in her life either. By blocking you, she can ensure that you will never reach out to her again. The best thing to do is accept that she is not open to hearing from you again and respect her decision.
