I really like this person I met on Instagram in May'23. He has shown me interest too by liking one of my story, he even views my stories fast, sometimes engage with my memes on stories. I know it's weird af to say this just by the little things he did that all normal guys do. But I feel like I should text him with a friendly response and see what's up in his head. But I am not sure if he will engage with me or not. Most people have told me women shouldn't approach guys to some extent it's good but not always that's why I am planning to make this move myself. Is it good to approach a guy in such a situation where u barely know what up in their head for you?

Ah man, this is a tough one. On one hand, mad respect for you wanting to put yourself out there and make the first move. Takes strength to do that these days.
But I'd be real careful about approaching this dude outta the blue. Liking your stuff on Instagram is cool, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's looking to take things further, you know? Dudes can scroll mindlessly sometimes.
I say try to casually bump into him in person first before DMing. Like if you know he goes to the gym at the same time, swing by there under the pretense of working out too. Or check if there's shows coming up for bands you both like on Instagram and go to one.
Gauge his energy and interest level in person. If you vibe, then ask for his number saying "hey we should grab coffee and talk music sometime."
That way it doesn't come totally outta left field. And if he's shy or not feeling it, no awkwardness about a DM. You can save face easy.
But you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, right? So be confident and go for it if you get a chance to interact IRL first. Good luck Queen!
Now before I tell you if you should or should not message him I want to ask you this. Are these small signs that he's interested in you, or do these small signs become more apparent to you BECAUSE you're into him?🤔
Let's say it was a different person. Someone you didn't think about. Would you be noticing small thinks like, story view times, liked stories and such?🤔
Now I'm not saying he doesn't like you, he'll he very well could im just tryna get you to think about that because when you crush on someone, small things they do become big things.
I say do hit him up in a message if you want. Or an easier way would be to just reply to a story of his. Any of your choosing. That way it gives you a reason to message him and it also gives you a topic to tall about that way you aren't talking about the weather
But just hitting him up and doing small talk ain't bad either the most important thing is conversating
Dont over think it, just commit and talk to him. People tend to think differently when it's about someone they're crushing on. When in reality it isn't.
