What is the purpose of pulling away but still making yourself known on someone’s social media?

This man i went on a couple dates with was in touch with me often, and then stopped. He still interacts with my social media posts.

(i did mention on our date that he was intense but I liked that he was clear. He asked me if I want a third date and I said sure.) he told me he was interested in dating more than casual. I wanted to continue to see the potential there but I don’t want to have to chase somebody.

I guess my question is, if this were you, what might be your motivations for keeping up with my social media but stop the texting?
