Why would a guy who ghosts her like her social media posts showing she's happy?

Because since when did liking social media posts automatically suggest that you’re into someone? It doesn’t. Just because they happen to like a picture or a status, it doesn’t mean they want to talk to that person.

Well I'm not dense, I know the context of the content being liked here.

Guys will like photos of a good looking girl, bikini pics and anything suggestive etc, guys do that. It definitely doesn’t mean that they want to strike up a conversation in all cases. Some do, sure but just as many don’t want to.

[Asker]

My posts were none of those.

Well not exactly sure what else would justify the “context of the content being liked”. Anything more extreme than that and social media would take it down. Anything less than that would just be normal pictures.

[Asker]

Or pictures of things we have in common or that make me happy that aren’t suggestive in any way. Believe it or not, yes those things actually exist between mature adults.

[Opinion Owner]

And that’s fine but nothing worth striking a conversation over. So my point remains.

[Asker]

I didn’t say it was, just don’t get the point if ghosting and liking, then completely changing behaviour from friendship to zero, it’s not normal unless there’s an issue of sorts.

He doesn’t want to talk but shows he doesn’t hate her guts.

[Asker]

Why feel the need to show there's no hate?

[ronaldsnugs]

Shows happiness , acceptance, friendship, positivity...

[Asker]

Cool. So if its showing friendship, why ghost? That's a little confusing.

[ronaldsnugs]

Because no communication is a boundary he needed to set for whatever reason

[Asker]

Well he knows I’m not the type to chase him and don’t waste time if he’s not sure. So I don’t really get.

He doesn't want to interact with her but he might be trying to show that he's still care about her

[Asker]

Okay, so why do that?

[pinudown]

Dunno

[Smilingqueen2]

He is happy because she is

[Asker]

So if that makes him happy he still cares or?

[Smilingqueen2]

He cares, but don't know if he still wants

[Asker]

I think there's be more effort if he still wanted something

[Smilingqueen2]

exactly

[In_Trance]

it's a smokeshow. The illusion of interest

[Asker]

For the purpose of...

the chance that you'll respond. an open line of communication in a guys mind is the possibility of future sex
