What does it mean when a guy actively watches all of your stories, but doesn’t talk to you?

*He talks to me, I just always have to initiate*

Anyway, my guy friend always watches my stories on Instagram (sometimes he’s the first one). I know he pays attention to what I post because, one day we were hanging out and I said something (I don’t remember exactly what I said), and he responded, “oh yeah I remember you had that on your story.” However, he hardly texts me first/reaches out. For example, if I post that my cat died on my story, (I don’t have a cat, this is just an example), he’ll watch it, but won’t reach out. But, if I see him in person and initiate the conversation, he’ll then ask if I’m ok. He knows I have a crush on him, and I know he’s shy, but he can’t be this shy. So do you think he’s interested or no?
