Should I give up on him?
Ok so I (17F) like this guy and I'm really confused about how he feels so I'm asking reddit for help (obvi a good idea)
For context: we both were good friends in 2nd grade and then lost touch when he moved away to another state. A few months ago HE found me on the gram, requested to follow then sent a dm first asking if i remember him
Here's what has happed so far:
So after he sent the dm we chatted about the old times then the convo shifted to music and he brought up that he's really into rock music and has a 30hr playlist so I asked him to send me his playlist since I wasn't into rock at the time and was genuinely curious. He said "bet" and it's been 6 months and no playlist 🥰
He replies to my stories quite frequently, like casual stuff. Once I posted a painting and he replied with "oh yea i remember you used to draw a lot" he's done this quite a few times and usually brings up the old times or details he remembers
He specifically likes only those stories where I post my face in it, occassionally he'll like the art I post but nothing else. Just my face (he doesn't reply to those stories though)
On my birthday he saw all the stories of people wishing me that i reposted but didn't reply or like wish me at all
He starts the convo but he's SUCHHH a dry texter and it's actually a miracle for him to write in full sentences
He's very weird about replying, like he has his reading receipts off and like it takes him hours if not days to like reply (this I am choosing to be delusional about, i think it's because he has a public profile with 7k followers so he gets a lot of dms)
We were talking about music again when I said that i like piano man by Billy joel and the next day he posts a story playing that song
This is extremely delusional territory so beware: I took a break from insta for like a month and when i came back I saw that he hadn't posted anything in that month, for context he posts quite regularly (it's a public account)
What do we think? Is this hopeless?
