Hi!
I've recently made a new Instagram account because I deleted my old one back in 2018.
So, I decided that I will keep my account just for family and close friends.
As I was searching for people. I found this girl that I used to know in college.
I actually had a little crush on her. She's single and everything. She posts a lot of selfies and stories of herself, showing off her beautiful body and going on hikes with her dogs.
I've sent her a follow request on Instagram because her account is private, and so was mine.
She accepted my request, and she followed me back.
So, I've sent her a private message saying, "Hi, Lily!" with smiley emoji.
She read my message and never replied back. I wasn't trippin about it because she probably will get back to me soon, no big deal.
But a week past, and I noticed she never replied back at all. But I've noticed she watched all of my stories and such. So, I started getting all of these weird thoughts in my head. I was thinking, maybe sending her a message saying "Hi, Lily" with a smiley emoji came off too strong, or I came off too "thirsty" or I sounded like a "creep".
I just took the hint that she doesn't want to talk to me. So, I unfollowed her, and I clicked the "remove friend" so she doesn't follow me back. I know it sounds petty. But I just took it as she wanted nothing to do with me. And nowadays, women will easily label the guy as a creep for trying to slide into her DMs. Men told me, if a woman doesn't reply to you at all, she doesn't like you, and that you should just take the hint and move on. Because women will always make time to get back to a guy that she likes.
A few days has passed. And I woke up in the morning to a notification. It was Lily. She's requesting to be my friend on Instagram again. I'm very confused now. Why would she go out of her way to send me a follow request if she doesn't want to talk to me at all? I don't keep people as friends on Instagram if they won't want to reply back. It's pointless.
