Why did my crush stop liking my instagram photos?

[Anonymous]

It’s so annoying and confusing that my crush does this all of a sudden. I know for certain that he thinks I’m really pretty (he stares at me ALL the time and his friends tell me this too). Now he doesn't like my instagram photos, but he likes nearly every other cute girls pictures. Is it possible that he’s trying to show me he doesn’t care and play hard to get? This is driving me craAazZy!!! Don’t say it doesn’t mean anything though because I know it means something

[ACSweet]

He might be playing hard to get -- maybe some bad advice from a friend. But he may just feel you aren't an option anymore, unobtainable; guys won't, general continue their pursuit of an infatuation if they realize potential isn't there. If you actually like HIM, and not just his likes on social media, show him you're interested. But, you don't need to do anything physical, just talk to him. Don't retaliate with coldness or "the silent treatment", just communicate. Being upfront is sometimes -- maybe most times -- the best option.

I don't know, I guess he just got tired of validating you. Sorry, that may be a little harsh, I just hate Instagram. More than likely, he's just doing the whole "hard to get" thing, and clearly, it's working since it's driving you crazy.

[Asker]

makes sense.

[ryancg]

Yeah, in that case, he's just waiting for you to make the first move.

[Asker]

I already made the first move though. I mean I asked him to hang out over text (we haven’t talked much in person) and he said yes, but it never happened. he had a friends with benefits with this girl at the time so it was too late. he said to my friend randomly “tell lizzy i think she’s great, but I’m with lacey right now.” what does this mean? i just really don’t get him. he’s so hot and cold. i don’t know if this is relevant but a couple years ago, he was RLLY into me, but i rejected him multiple times (that was 3 years ago though)...

[ryancg]

If the guy's acting all hot and cold like that, then just forget about him. I don't know about you, but I got no time for people who can't make up their mind.

[Asker]

fuuuucckk me too man but I’m so infatuated by him. its bad

[ryancg]

Well, guys like that would just end up hurting you down the road. That's much worse than just letting the infatuation wear off, and it will eventually wear off. Just give it time.

Sometimes if you want something you got to go get it. Have you been playing hard to get? You say he stares at you, if you like him back be more encouraging. Smile at him and talk to him more. I have guy friends that do this when they are annoyed with a girl so they ghost her or try to make her jealous. If you like him you'll need to be more obvious about it.

[MimiHashima]

He probably doesn’t want to come off as desperate to you? Either that or other things. Now that i think about it... i don’t even like much pics at all with the guy i’m with. When we want to share things together then we just do it when we can and not overdo it. It’d be nice if you both could have a conversation going.

[quotequeen]

Forget about him, if the guy doesn't chase u, he probably doesn't like u as much as u think, sorry. I was in a similar situation as u and he doesn't care about u hon; he only wants to fuck around and leave. That's it. Don't give him anything

[Luke______]

OR he noticed that this wasn't getting anywhere and moved on

[quotequeen]

That's true too

[Burgerboy21]

I see two possibilities. Either:
1. He relaized you're onto him and is afraid that you may label him a stalker, OR
2. He's lost interest in you and moved on.
Unfortunately I don't have enough info here to decide between the two.

[geminiboner]

I vote number one

[Uglyman97]

Number 1

[korbin63]

He may have moved on (thought you weren't interested or something) but it could also be nothing, he is a guy after all. If I were you I would slylybring it up after a week or two (ask if he's still active on Instagram or something like that. It will A) show you're interested and B) give you an answer.

[InkHero]

Does he know you like him? If not and he likes you, maybe he gave up. I don't think he'd actually know you're trolling his liking habits on other girls. Lol. Besides, him liking a cute girls photo doesn't mean he wants to date her. Just means he thinks the photo is pretty.

[blazinbrimstone]

It sounds to me like he likes u, is into u, tried to get ur attention, but now thinks u are out of his reach. Show him u are interested, and see if he picks back up. Let him know u like him without actually telling him, and see if he asks u. If not, he may not have the nerve, so u should initiate conversation. A question about a problem usually does the trick.

Don't look to far into it. Boys aren't that deep. For me, boys do this out of fear that they are seen as being creepy by liking your photos. That's why I prefer not to like my crushes photos as it comes across as subliminally needy. So I think you've bagged a boy that likes you

[hwydrod21]

Its possible he likes you as well and doesn't want to seem to clingy with the liking. Just have mutual friends hook you up, its possible he just hasn't made the move yet.

[Password_Is_Taco]

I think people put too much stock in likes and shit, just because he likes all, some or none dosent mean he dosent like you.

[Luke______]

He propably lost interest and moved on. You should have made a move when you noticed that he was always sares at you. That is a pretty safe sign that he has feelings for you

[spartan55]

He probably has no idea you like him. And you are wrong, anything regarding social media means nothing.

[InTimoreDei]

I'd say that you're the one that needs to do something. He probably is annoyed that you're not reciprocating and validating your crush over him. Guys don't like to wait around.

[Uglyman97]

Guys aren't as secretive and undercover haters like that... he most probably just forgot about you if your relationship was going nowhere for a long time

[tiny_creation15]

You should walk right up to him and tell him how you feel. You wanna go after what you want girl. Don't be afraid to make the first move. In life you don't get many chances.

[janna_jcb]

Why don’t you ask him out if you like him so much? (I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s better than playing games and remaining uncertain)

[samdoe]

Well he could be a prick trying to get somthing out of you (if you get what I'm saying) or he realised somthing and thought that he wants to pursue other relationships

[Alitheia]

Simple, he realized you're a hoe who doesn't deserve to have some chump be loyal to when you're just gonna go out and embarass him. W for him realizing there's plenty of other insta thots in the world and none of you are special lmao

[rocksteady320]

Well how much of ur body are u showing he might not like his underage girl showing her goods off

[PrettyRegular]

Life's too short for that. Just say to him that "you are my boyfriend now". It would be a relief for him.

[Tom68]

Guys are weird just ask if they really like you but be prepared for every answer you go girl

[veli_crosbie]

As you said it's a crush eventually those feelings can go away for him probably that's why he is behaving like that.
