Need some help! Would you consider this sign of interest?

[Anonymous]

What does it mean when guy cares about my big life events that I’ve shared on social media when we’re barely even acquaintances?

He has replied to my story updates that I’ve posted about my big life events.
This is the third time that he’s sent me congratulations or offered condolences.
we user to talk casually in the DM’s months ago mostly initiated by me. Other than that we barely know each other.

Updates

Anyone:)?

[FakeNIK]

Interested in your life yes, intrested in you not sure. need more info

[Asker]

Why would he congratulate me if he doesn’t ”care” for me especially when we had no contact for 8 months?

[Asker]

We don’t have any contact in irl other than we have occasionally bumbed into each other in person

[FakeNIK]

Do you think he likes you?

[FakeNIK]

Have you seen any "signs"?

[Asker]

He views every single story uodate , he has replied to 3 story updates that were were about my life events. I also replied to some of his stories and we had some small talk. He seemed to like talking to me. I don't know why would guy go out of his way to message me congratulations….

[FakeNIK]

He certainly likes you but I'm not sure if it's romantic, cause if guys into you he'll do more than that

[FakeNIK]

As of now just talk & leave the rest

[Asker]

Would even shy guy do more if he’s interested?

[FakeNIK]

There's a possibility, yes

[Kenpachi04]

In my opinion he had liked or still likes u ! I had did the same once to try to know more about her and to be close with her but eventually there was not much of a response and I gradually moved on ! But still now I used to reply to her status cos I have concern for her as I have liked her previously!

[Asker]

This was a huoou update that he replies to…he congratulated me on getting a new job.

[Asker]

Happy update*

[Asker]

That he replied to*

[Kenpachi04]

Oh then it might have just been a professional way to be acquainted ! It’s not a personal one!

[Asker]

We don’t work with each other or anything. Anyway do u think he’s just being nice/polite?

[Kenpachi04]

Ya he maybe just saying it for courtesy! U don't need a reason or to work together for being polite to another person !

[Asker]

I like him. If I initiate conversation with him would I look desperate? or should I wait for him to reach out to me again?

[Kenpachi04]

If u like him there is nothing wrong in initiating the conversation it's not a competition to check who msgs first !

[Asker]

In conclusion do u think he’s just being nice?

[Kenpachi04]

Ya he is just being nice ! It's upto u if u want to take it further

[Asker]

I don't know if he wants that…

[Asker]

I would make a fool of myself if he wasn’t interested

[Kenpachi04]

U won't know if he likes u also unless u give it a shot ! Nothing is certain ! Only thing u might feel is that u haven't given it a try !

[Kenpachi04]

U liked him so u expressed ! If he is not into u then at least u will be left with a peace of mind rather than thinking about it from day start to end

[fonduegirl]

Just being over polite, in my opinion.

[Asker]

Why would a guy be over polite ….

[Asker]

He very rarely come in contact irl….

[fonduegirl]

Must have his own reasons
