If you already know a guy likes you, would following him back on social media be a bad idea?

If you don’t like him, don’t start what you can’t sustain.

[Asker]

What does liking him have to do with following back?

[Sasquach]

Do you want to be with him?

[Asker]

Not at all

[Sasquach]

Then don't give him false hope, unless it's linkedin then go for it

[Asker]

How is it giving him false hope if it's clear I don't feel the same way he does?

[Sasquach]

If you reject a guy, then the next night, follow him/accept his invite he's going ignore your words and follow your actions

[Asker]

The thing is he is a guy from the past coming back after we stopped talking a couple of times. If I follow him back could that communicate that I have no hard feelings towards him?

[Sasquach]

Yup, it would communicate that and much more

[Asker]

What you mean by much more?

[Sasquach]

I would guess he's thinking 'do I have a shot/does she still like me' not 'I wonder if she still hates me'

[Asker]

I understand but does a follow back indeed give him access? It's not like if he messaged me I have to respond.
