Why did my ex request to follow me on instagram?

[beachin]

We dated for about a year, and since our break up it has been a year and three months of absolute no contact. The break up was pretty ugly. So why out of the blue is he requesting to follow me on instagram? I am so so shocked by this and so confused. Someone please give me some insight what is going on

I guess he wants to see with how many guys have you been since him. he's definitely creepy.

He still has feelings for you and this is an attempt to contact you

I got the kind of creepy thing before with not technically an ex but this girl who was a ahole, she liked stalked me for days. Just block him.

Maybe he wants to talk to you? Or possibly was stalking you and did it on accident
