Yes, we're friends on Facebook.

I'm sure he posts a lot of things and blocks me from seeing them.

I see things that he posts once or twice a week maybe. That's all.

I've learned not to go on his threads and post comments because it seems to annoy him.

And I've also learned NOT to say to myself, "Hey! He's obviously online because he just posted on Facebook, so I will now send him a Facebook message and get a conversation going."

That doesn't work. He will ignore my messages.

My messages aren't anything huge or *****y. I'm NOT telling him how sad I am without him.

I send him really short messages asking if he wants to do coffee or dinner that day. Or I'll let him know something cute the animals did. Or I'll ask if he has a ride to work (if the weather is bad).

The most I've received in response is "Aw!" for the cute things the animals do, or "No" about needing a ride to work.
