Ex from 13 years ago started liking my insta stories, I'm confused?

[Anonymous]

He was my first love, we briefly dated when I was sixteen but he brokeup with me because he told me he wasn't feeling the same.

He wanted to stay friends at the time but I was very hurt and I decided to cut all contact with him since the breakup. He moved on and I moved on.

Now he is in a 5 year relationship and I'm single, but some months ago he started liking my instagram stories. He likes the ones with my picture on it (like selfies) and the ones that is about my work.

Interesting thing is that on that 13 years that we have been apart he never made this kind of interaction before, although we follow each other on Instagram.

What he wants to do with that action, and why since he is still dating?

It's difficult to determine exactly what his intentions are, as everyone has their own reasons for liking someone's social media content. However, it's possible that he may simply be trying to reconnect with you as a friend or to check up on your life, especially since you were important to him in the past. It's also possible that he may be experiencing some form of nostalgia or regret, and is looking to see what you've been up to since you last spoke.

Regardless of his intentions, it's important to remember that his actions may not necessarily mean that he wants to pursue a romantic relationship with you. He is still in a committed relationship, and it would not be fair to assume anything without clear communication from him.

If you are comfortable with it, you can consider reaching out to him and having a conversation to see if there is a genuine interest in reconnecting or if it was simply a friendly gesture. However, if you are not interested in reconnecting, it's okay to simply ignore his actions and focus on your own life.

It is difficult to say for certain why your ex is liking your Instagram stories, as everyone's motivations and intentions can be complex and nuanced. However, it is possible that he may be feeling nostalgic or curious about your life, especially since you were each other's first love many years ago.

It is also possible that his liking your Instagram stories is simply a friendly gesture, and does not necessarily indicate any romantic interest or intentions. It's important to keep in mind that social media activity does not always translate to real-world interactions or relationships.

Regardless of his intentions, it is important to consider how his actions make you feel and whether or not you are comfortable with the level of interaction you are having with him. If his actions are making you uncomfortable or bringing up unwanted emotions, it may be helpful to set some clear boundaries with him or to limit your interactions with him on social media.

Maybe he is curious about how you are doing seeing as the two of you cared about each other once.
He isn’t messaging you, so I wouldn’t read too much into it.
it’s a gesture of fondness.

I don't think he would text me while still dating. Maybe if he become single, but for now I don't think this would happen.
