Do you expect the other person to text you first if you were the last one to send a text during your conversation?

Question

Your last text wasn’t a text that required an answer and the conversation ended naturally.

No, I pay attention on who started it first the last time, not who ended it.

I have been told double texting isn’t great. So within a reasonable time period would not double text, but after a day why not?

I was replying to his Instagram stories not really “texting” with him. I don’t have his number and we’ve never dated. Also he doesn’t know that I like him.

How lol? Still I was the one reaching out to him. All he does is passively watch my stuff. He never misses one story update of mine lol...

by the way here’s more info:

I’ve replied few times to my crush instagram stories but he hasn’t done the same back to me altough he watches eagerly my stories. Our conversations have been very friendly and he has replied back to me promptly ( he’s replies are decent, he used a lot emojis and he likes/ heart reacts my texts). One time he even wrote me long paragraphs and also he one time sent me a short disappearing video. He’s responsive ehen I contact him but he doesn’t contact me first.
I don't know what to do. Should I just give up on him? Is it possible that he’s too shy to contact?

BrianMarks

Because he likes social, just like he watches other stories
