I’m confused by a guy’s texting/social media behavior and wondering if anyone knows what it means?
He’s definitely single, and we flirt a lot in private. He calls me beautiful, watches every single one of my Instagram stories almost instantly most of the time, as if he has a notification for when I post, and when we message he usually replies pretty quickly. He’s actually very good at replying most of the time. The conversations are fun and flirty, but they often just… stop mid-conversation, and he doesn’t always come back to them unless one of us starts a new conversation later. What’s confusing me is that in the beginning he liked my posts and stories all the time. Now he doesn’t like my posts or stories at all, but he still watches every story I post. Once in a while, he’ll reply to one of my stories, but that’s about it. At the same time, I can see him liking other women’s photos. So I’m getting mixed signals. His private behavior seems very interested, but his public interaction with my content has changed. Like I said he’s definitely single and it can’t be a matter of he’s trying to hide his likes from other women because he has liked multiple other women’s photos. I should also add that he’s not the type of guy that’s following list looks like a strip club. His following list to me actually looks very healthy and normal. There are a lot of women, but they are quite normal average women for the most part. He is an attractive guy I will say that.
Has anyone experienced this? Am I overthinking the Instagram likes, or would you see this as a genuine change in behavior that’s worth paying attention to? If he just stopped watching every single one of my Instagram storie****s and stopped flirting so heavily in public I would say he’s not interested, but he’s giving me contradicting behaviors.
