Guy I’m dating likes everyone else’s photos on Instagram except mine. What’s his deal? I feel so FED up giving him so much and he gives me nothing?

[Anonymous]

We’ve been dating for months. And before you say “why don’t you ask him” I’m here to get others’ opinions before I address it to him. I know he likes me; we see each other regularly and have great chemistry. I don't know if this is an insecurity thing on his end, or what exactly is his reasoning.. but I noticed when I went through the accounts he follows that are his friends and family members, he likes ALL of their photos. Females and males. Friends he has that are girls who post selfies and bikini pics (this doesn’t bother me since I know they’re his friends) but what bothers me is whenever I post, he never likes a single post I’ve ever posted. A selfie, a random photo, funny, etc. posts I KNOW if someone else posted he would like (because I know his interests) he just doesn’t like my photos. What is the reasoning here? I like his photos, I pay him compliments. He doesn’t compliment me. But he acts crazy if I don’t respond or treat him like he treats me at times. It’s like the only compliments he has given me are roundabout ways that like give off a “I’m not that interested in you” vibe, like he doesn’t want to admit it or feed my ego or something? Like he wants to feel superior? I have all my shit together; I have guys after me often because I’m pretty, but I never have not tried to make him not feel secure. He’s currently jobless, and I know he feels down on himself... but he’s dragging me there too. Sorry this started off as social media and now it’s a rant and I’m just so fed up

Becaise possible in his head he dont want to seam to eager liking all your stuff as he dont just like u as a friend but more but it seems you both care too much about the liking off pictures

[Asker]

Lol good point.. like we care but in opposite ways

[boggboss]

Absolutely carring about such small things like this is what causes issues in a relationship and thats only for him if thats the true reason but for u don't assume into his actions so much because as humans we will assume the worst

[Asker]

Yeah I always assume the worst... it’s just there is some psychology behind it that hides a deeper meaning.

[boggboss]

It plays into u believing he dont have your best intentions

[boggboss]

It is so. thing u should try to move away from as it will sabotage early relationships

[Asker]

Yeah like I feel as if he doesn’t really like me.. because in real life he also withholds compliments so now I just feel like maybe he doesn’t like me

[boggboss]

But then why would he still be talking too you if he didn't like u

[Asker]

Maybe he’s just keeping me for the time for sex, I don't know. People are cruel

[boggboss]

If u honestly think that I dont think u should be dating atm as u are not int eh right head space yes some people do that but if u think he is doing that why would u waste your time dating

All of that over liking pictures on stupid Instagram... just mind boggling...

You're 25-29... are you so childish to think that whether someone likes your instagram pictures is a determining factor in whether he likes you or not?

[Asker]

There is psychology behind it

[IveGotNoName]

Stop putting a deeper meaning to everything. He is talking to you. Is that not enough?

[Asker]

No it’s not because people do that and use others all the time. I don’t trust his intentions to begin with

[IveGotNoName]

Not trusting his intentions is okay, but maybe you should have brought that up instead of centering it all around something as idiotic as the fact that he doesn't like your instagram pictures.
