If a guy from the past who had feelings for you but you didn't date wants to reconnect with you on social media, would you allow it?

wouldn't

[Asker]

Why wouldn't you?

[laly520]

past stays in past

[Asker]

Would following him back give him the wrong idea?

[laly520]

yes it might give him the wrong idea

[Asker]

I thought following someone on social media was meaningless?

[laly520]

not if they r aware for example that u had or still have feelings for em
otherwise it won't matter

[Asker]

No they had feelings for me

[laly520]

then yes
he would definitely get it wrongly

[Asker]

Even if it was just TikTok following him back would be a mistake?

[laly520]

tiktok is less serious but who knows how he will react to it so better not follow at all

[Asker]

Okay, I won't follow him back.
He messaged me in my DMs asking if I have the same phone number. I told him yes and he then asked if he could basically reach out via text. I didn't respond to that message. I wonder if responding to that first message was even a good idea

[laly520]

no point in responding
one text will lead to another n it will lead to a conversation then it will lead to pictures then lead to calls
just ignore him
u dont need the headache

[Asker]

I mean I already responded to his message asking if my phone number was the same. I told him yes

[laly520]

1 reply is enough unless u want him

[Asker]

Got it. It seemed pointless trying to see if my number was the same unless he wanted to text me
