So this is one of those “it could only happen to me” stories, and I still can’t believe I fumbled this hard. Quick cultural context: in my background, dating isn’t like Western dating, it’s more like “get to know each other for marriage, with families involved.” I thought this was kind of important. Anyways, so one night my (m19) parents (both 40+) invite a couple over for dinner, and the wife brings her little sister, who is also 19. (Lets call her Kate) Immediately my mom jokes saying shes cute you can get to know her to get engaged later. (This is normal, there’s no ‘dating’ in our culture its getting to know each other for a few months with family around and then you guys get engaged and married)
Throughout the night I was talking with her and she was actually pretty cool. Smart, pretty, creative, and she goes to the same university as me. I didn’t think much of it but I also was definitely a little interested, my mom loved her too. They ended up staying for awhile and towards the end of the night before they were leaving my mom said oh kate you and my son should exchange numbers and maybe you guys can meet on campus since you both go to x university. I kind of fumbled here, I should’ve taken her number she literally took her phone out and everything. I lowkey kind of forgot what happened,(definitely got nervous) but also out of respect for my religion, I don’t keep close female friends or have their numbers. This is where I REALLY fucked up
Kate and my mom also exchanged information and kate now follows my mom on instagram. So obviously I knew what her instagram was, but she didnt know mine. Now my mom keeps posting pics of me and tagging me to try and get her to see and follow me which is actually kinda funny but here is the issue.
So basically me and my friends all have a shared instagram account which is basically a fake account where we used to just troll people on. And apparently she has that account blocked, which means one of my boys did some stupid sht recently which made her block the account. But you know how when you go to block someone, it blocks other accounts they may have created. Yea so I’m logged into that account on my phone, and well well well, her blocking that account also blocked all my other accounts….. I know this because when I tried looking her up I could see her profile but it said something like can no longer view this or something like that. Now i dont even know if she sees the stories my mom posts tagging me and this is just really a corny and funny situation. I also dont know what to do next time I see her and ask her for her social media/number. I basically cooked myself GG onto the next
TL;DR: My mom tried to set me up with a girl who seemed perfect, but I got nervous and didn’t get her number. Turns out she blocked a troll IG account I share with friends, which accidentally blocked all my real accounts too. Now I can’t follow her, she might not even see my mom tagging me, and I somehow got friendzoned by my own burner account.

Can you ask your mom to talk to her mom to reach out to get you unblocked?
Maybe open a separate account just to talk to her with ?
BRB, going to go block someone and see who else disappears…
Make a new account.
You have 0 game my guy lol your mom set this up easy and you still fumbled. Crazy work
Can’t you like walk up to her at uni and ask for her number?
don’t share social accounts with others, my parents have one account for facebook but they’re 75+.
So from your side, it’s really bad. But the information she has, she only really knows that you didn’t take her contact and might think you’re not interested. Easy fix.
> a troll IG account I share with friends,
She dodged a bullet.
