Why did he delete our photo?

So there’s this guy I’ve known a few years, we have always been extremely close but met through work whilst in relationships. We lost contact for a few years and the past two years have started meeting up again as now we are single. We have only recently started sleeping together as there are a million reasons why atm we can’t be anything more than what we are. We have expressed feelings for each other, but nothing deep as we are still in love with exs, which we are both honest about. Anyway he lately has started asking and hinting for a photo of us, of how we should have this night, or will next time etc. Whilst out last Friday we asked to have a selfie and we took one, both smiling etc and from what I remember it was nice. He brought it up today and when I asked to see it he said he deleted it. I was a little shocked as what was the need to delete? After going on so much for us to have one lol, just doesn’t really make sense to me. Half of me thinks he doesn’t want to admit he still has it? But that’s immature. Struggling to understand this small quirky dilemma.

Sounds like her might have caught feelings. But you don't seem as into it as him. Might have been him being a little shitty about it. Deleting your photo cause you don't want to be with him.

If he likes you a lot it could hurt him to have the photo, but not be with you. Or maybe he just didn't like it. Not sure why he would lie about having it.

Ah that may make sense. As we took the photo a week ago and I haven’t asked about it atall, he brought it up and then told me he deleted it, so I was like ok :/ I take it he’s actually deleted it lol, strange person.

Well sounds like you care enough about this guy to worry about what he is thinking, and why he is deleting the photo. So maybe you could cut him a little slack. I would say though if you have no intention of dating this guy, then I would find someone else. Smells like feelings are starting to get in the mix, and honestly if you are really serious about finding someone, I wouldn't be doing these "situationships". Messes up a lot of potentially good relationships.
