i'm not exactly sure when i first requested but a while ago, had followed her on my old instagram account but it stopped working in 2022 and she changed her settings to private so i had to request to follow on new account.
oddly i noticed a post from her on my feed last night so clicked on her profile and it said i was following her so she must of accepted my request recently and i just didn't notice.
not sure when i first noticed her online but i've been interested in her for a while. never sent her any messages before. also noticed that since i last saw her profile she's gotten a tattoo on her side which i really liked. the picture was actually posted by the tattoo artist so if i like it she might not even notice unless i like say something directly to her
also recall that she had a long time boyfriend back when i first followed her but he appears to be gone as all pictures of him have been deleted from her profile so she appears to be single
have no idea why she'd suddenly accept my request to follow after having sat on it for some time , we have not actually meet in person although i have been to her hometown and new city she lives in now many times
also note in her home i have relatives with the same last name , its possible she though i was someone she knew from there maybe or knows i've been there maybe?

It is kinda weird that she accepted your follow request now after sitting on it for so long. A few thoughts on why:
- Maybe she just recently went through her followers list and accepted everyone who had requested in the past. Sometimes people do a purge like that.
- Possibly she just noticed your profile/posts more since you got a new account and was like "hey he seems cool."
- Could be related to her deleting pics of her ex too like she's newly single and scoping out options.
- As you said, seeing your location/last name connection, maybe she realized you might be someone she knows of locally and was like "oh I'll accept then."
I'd say don't read too much into it for now. Just keep liking her stuff casually if you want to get her attention. Maybe even comment on the tattoo post complimenting her ink since you said you liked it. See if she starts engaging with your posts/stuff too.
But don't come on too strong reaching out right away either since you never talked before. Play it cool and let her make the first actual message move if she's interested back. You got this man!
I follow whoever follows me. Not in this site of course. It's not a big deal that she followed you when you followed her first.
no its not a big deal , i just find it odd she sat on the request so long , like why didn't she just decide sooner?
her life also seems to have changed a lot since i first followed her a couple years ago , no boyfriend , has tattoo's , starting a new career
she doesn't follow my account i don't even really post much of anything either , her account is private so i had to request to follow to see her profile/posts
Maybe she was busy with other applications. She may didn't notice as may probably got some other follow requests.
