Ok thks, I thought they were linked so unfollowing one would affect the other. I know I accidentally send friend requests when I scroll Facebook pages on iPad - lol, embarrassing!

hahaha yes that can be very embarrassing! I remember once I was going for a job interview so I thought I would check out the interviewer's Facebook page to see if I could get any info about how I could make a connection there during the interview. Anyway dropped my Ipad and accidentally sent them a friend request. Awkward lol.

Nailed it. Like I said originally, Jade's comments on their own didn't bother me, but they did when put next to Ed's who's intent on ignoring her publicly and yelling "I'm single!" to anybody that will listen. Now if we didn't have any indication that they were interacting privately, based off nothing but SM interactions I'd be thinking "For God sake Jade. He's ignoring you. Get the hint". (This is where I have been at times recently).

However, now that we know he is communicating with her away from social media, and he's doing things like giving her Adelaide suggestions and his Dad's number, then I don't see why she shouldn't interact with him on SM. I'm more curious as to why Ed is happy to acknowledge her privately but feels the need to completely ignore her publicly. Talk about mixed signals regarding how they're allowed to interact.

Who knows how his mind works, but it could be something as simple as feeling a need to appear as separate and unattached from Jade.

They haven't seen each other since they broke up 2 months ago, several different publications reported that the 'quietly split' before Christmas, there are plenty of people on FB and intagram who point out to those who keep asking him about Jade that they have split up - but the questions keep getting asked (possibly NZ viewers?). If he has met, or is wanting the freedom to meet, someone and doesn't want to cop crap about moving on, maybe he just thinks this is something he can control in an effort to be seen as 'Ed' not 'Ed from Ed'n'Jade'.

Can someone who has twitter tell me if it is easy to unfollow someone? Maybe Jade unfollowing Ed was an error. Hence her refollowing him.

All you have to do is click the "following" button - it becomes "unfollow". It's a pretty big button an a laptop, but much smaller on a phone touchscreen. So, I guess so (I often accidentally press buttons on my phone - but that just might be me being useless)
 
If I had to guess, I think it's possible that she unfollowed him because of the Valentine's blog. Here she's done her best to keep discussion of their relationship as quiet as possible and he namechecks her in the first blog, then announces his single status over and over in the most recent one. Considering that this came so soon after the "Ed gave her the flick" video that we know upset her, I can only imagine she felt a little beat up.

Aside from the always leading with her heart, one thing I think that gets Jade in trouble is that she doesn't get mad and demand better treatment for herself. When others hurt her, she tends to take it internally, ultimately placing blame on herself for her "stupidity" or her "weakness" in having been hurt. Until she stands up and says, "I deserve better and I'm not going to accept this kind of treatment", she will continue to be an emotional punching bag for some people.

It's interesting to see the parallel and contrast with Tully. Tully demands so much from people and is constantly disappointed that they don't live up to her expectations. Jade demands so little from people and is constantly disappointed when they live down to her lack of expectations.

The problem, as I see it, is that Ed really isn't a good friend to her, at least publicly. As such, her vows of friendship come off as desperate and needy. She really just needs to cut him out of her life!

This is why I had my 'Jade WTF' moment this morning, it's like two steps forward one step back. Thursday night 'Yay' she's finally changed her Insta pic and looked like she'd cut him off and then with the article it's not what she said...I just think she said too much.

If I were betting I'd say this is the most likely reason. Especially considering the last time he acknowledged Jade on Twitter some fans spent the next few days planning a date for them that poor Dan had to be the chef for.
 
I just checked, she is still not following him on Instagram.

If Jade was asked a question about Ed or anyone, she will always be nice. That is just her nature. I think she still does like Ed, but is happy just being his friend. I wouldn't call her a stalker. If she was she would have moved to Melbourne not Sydney.

Haha...I know right. Actually, he did favourite a couple of things of hers last week, and liked a photo - but he pointed out to a NZ person who was having a go at him about his hippocrasy regarding Tim nominating Jade when he had done the same thing, that it finished here months ago. So I can see why he may just want to be able to move on without getting harrassed (and I don't think he would have considered that it might have any ramifications for Jade and, honestly, I don't think it would have factored into his decision even if it had)

It's really no different from how he's always treated her, ignoring her and discounting their relationship publicly while sending her a somewhat different message privately.

I think somewhere in his mind, he doesn't want her mad at him, for a multiple of reasons. Partly because she IS good friends with many of the former HMs and he doesn't want her making him look bad to them (I'm not saying she would, I'm saying he may just be preventing that from happening). She's also pretty popular and he's been able to skim off some of that popularity for himself, so I don't think he wants anything to upset that applecart. It all just feels very self-protective on his part. It may not be conscious, it may just be instinctive, but I think deep down he knows he's confused the issue multiple times and he wants to make sure that doesn't come back to haunt him.

But I also suspect that if she just stopped reaching out to him, he would let even the private communication go, unless he needed something from her. So, while he may have spoken with her privately about her trip to Adelaide, I bet he did it at her instigation.

Thks, I also have clumsy phone skills quite often. Guess I just can't see the point of unfollowing him unless they had a fight or she was really upset about the blog. Seems petty to unfollow, and I don't see Jade as a petty person.

No, I don't see her as petty either.

I don't take anything negative from the article today, for the reasons I have given before, and there is no way Jade will bad-mouth Ed or any other HM publicly.

My thoughts on the follow/unfollow - based on nothing - are that there was a fight/falling out and she has finally cut him out. I think the re-follow on twitter may have been prompted by talking to Nathan and possibly Ed (the timing of it - middle of the night when they were both on twitter - is interesting). I think it may be just to keep the peace, and not mean too much else.

The thing I bear in mind is that the way she interacts with Ed on SM is no different, or any more frequent, to how she interacts with any of the other HMs that she follows or other people she follows - it's Ed that make this look bad.

I could actually imagine him doing both in the same paragraph. Just because he is letting people know he's single (in a bull-in-a-china-shop sort of way)and ready for gewls, gewls, gewls doesn't mean that he isn't still close, or good friends with Jade. Let's face it - he couldn't see the contradiction in hooking up with Jade and sharing her bed while nominating her as a game tactic. He's not emotionally intelligent.

I'm really curious why you call girls 'gewls' :) Is that a Jade Appreciation thread term lol
 
Gewls as in jewls? There's no eeewww sound in how Ed pronounces 'girls', not to my ears anyway. It's more like the 'e' in Pet hence why I transcribe it as gehls/ghels. Everytime I saw the word gewl, I thought it was some a shorthand for jewelry or something. lol

I always assumed it was a term of endearment for Jade or something. lol

When I was a teenager a girl I knew was raped and then beaten almost to death by a guy that had been legitimately stalking her for months.

I just hate it when people throw the word "stalker" around at Jade. I really don't think they have any idea what that word actually means. It has a horrible connotation for me.

Hon, plenty of examples throughout both threads, what happened in the house and being unceremoniously given the flick by Ed - like most in this thread even you would have to admit she is a bit of a clinger.

Besides if she wasn't a no sense harranger this thread wouldn't be so 'worried' tripping over itself about what's going to happen between her and Ed while she is in Melbourne. X

I guess you would know what it means to be a clinger since you also seems to be clinging on to that opinion from months ago, which was based on a highly edited show.

Maybe Ed wants to be seen as an eligible bachelor to the public. This was something that he wanted to be seen in the house, not wanting to hook up with anyone and the date Ed strategy which he planned with his brother before going into the house. So maybe that's why publicly he doesn't want to acknowledge her, he just thinking about his female fans. Can't blame him really. lol
