Hiii I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question (I am proactively working on healthier relationship habits and am relearning things from a rough childhood lol, so am very unsure on a lot of arguably basic things- thanks in advance for any input). I (21F) have been seeing someone (23M) since around January. For various reasons, we took a break for about a month. It was progressing to become exclusive. As of now, I do see it progressing further and do like him and would want to keep learning more about him. Last weekend we got dinner for the first time after a while, and it was very nice and I had a good time. I had slept over his after we went for a drive and came back to his apartment, however we did not do anything beyond kiss (I have hooked up with him when we were seeing each other before). I dropped him off at family in the morning and still had a good time at the drive and going to random stores together. When I got back home he texted me if I’m okay and how the rest of my day was etc. We FaceTimed for like 5-10 minutes that night and hadn’t exchanged messages then. This morning (two days later) I just sent a casual message saying I had a good time and would love to do it again with a reference to a joke we had. This was about 8 hours ago, and I know he’s at work so it is fine to not respond. However I posted some food on Instagram story and saw he viewed it. I do not view this as a big deal personally, but again, I’m still working on actively figuring out what’s okay or not (I don't know if it’s orbiting)? What do you guys think? Is it an issue or very negligible and to disregard? His intentions are on the same page as mines, to get to know each other at a nice pace before diving into anything, but would like to to progress that way if it does and it’s fine if not. Want to also make sure I’m not progressing into something purely hookup based at the same time.
Not replying to text but saw Instagram story? Is this an issue or very negligible and disregard?
