If a guy posted on social media about having a crush on me and I swiped up and talked to him, did I basically give him the green light to ask me out?

Well, you did contact him and you talked to him. Nothing wrong with you being curious about someone who says they have a crush on you. But you have the power to say no to his asking you out after talking to him and finding you aren't interested, don't you?

Nothing much can happen after your refusing further contact.

Yes , swiping up and starting a conversation signals interest and openness.

It doesn’t obligate you, but it does give him permission to express his interest or ask you out. The next step is just seeing if his approach feels right to you.

Okay so if he asks if I would like to get coffee there is nothing wrong with that?

[MontBlanc]

Exactly , asking to grab coffee is completely fine. It’s casual, low pressure, and a way to see if you click. 🙂

It depends on the words you used as you talk to him. Or the words you didn't say but he felt. You have to remember sometimes its the things you dont say. That have more meaning then what was said

It at least gives him the idea you're interested, otherwise you wouldn't have contacted him. I would say, yes, it does give him the green light and there isn't anything wrong with him asking.

A greenlight to talk to you and take his shot, some will sooner than later and some will not at all. Some will wait to see that light go brighter and greener as to not offend you. You are under no obligation though.

I guess so, but regardless, he should ask you out anyway.

[Nikki1989]

Nope.

[slatyb]

Pretty much. Did he? Did you want him to?

[Anonymous]

Direct contact like that should be.

[Brady]

No unless u told him he can ask u out.

[Danny_dan92]

Yes you did

[Asker]

But how if I was just curious?

[Danny_dan92]

Because if it’s you he could go for it

[Asker]

I'm saying I was curious but that doesn't invite him to ask me out

[Danny_dan92]

Like I said, if he likes you. You messaging him will make him think you’re interested so then he will probably try to advance on you

[Mike_Hum]

yup.

[In_Trance]

Pretty much
