I'm looking for honest opinions, especially from guys, because this situation has genuinely confused me.
I'm 23, and he's 28. He's a single dad with full custody of his son, except his son's mom gets him during summer visitation.
When we first started talking, I told him I was only looking for something casual/friends with benefits, and he seemed to be on the same page. We talked and snapped every day for about three weeks before meeting. We hooked up, and everything seemed normal.
About three weeks later, he invited me over again. We hooked up a second time, and again everything seemed completely normal. There wasn't any argument, awkwardness, or anything that made me think he had lost interest. We were still connected on Snapchat and Instagram afterward.
For the next four days, he watched all of my Instagram stories like usual. Then I noticed he had unadded me on Instagram. I sent him a simple Snapchat saying, "Hey, how's it going?" He never replied. After that, he unadded me on Snapchat too, and that was the last I ever heard from him.
I'll admit I didn't handle the ghosting well afterward. I sent multiple messages because I was hurt and confused and wanted an explanation. Looking back, I know I should have stopped sooner.
What confuses me is the sequence of events. If he wasn't interested after the second hookup, why continue watching all of my Instagram stories for several days before removing me? Why not just tell me he wasn't feeling it? Why unadd me instead of simply blocking me if he wanted no contact?
From an outside perspective, what do you think most likely happened? Did he lose interest after thinking it over? Meet someone else? Get overwhelmed as a single dad? Was he avoiding confrontation? Or is there another explanation I'm not considering?

No clue why he did it, but he’s definitely not interested in hooking up again. Unadding someone on both social media is pretty much the same as blocking them. I don't know why he kept watching your stories for several days. Maybe it took him that long to decide he wasn’t interested. Your reaction to being ghosted implies that you had started to catch feelings for him, so it’s probably for the best, since he’s not even interested in hooking up again, let alone anything more.
What happened? Freud was right. Everyone in the world has mommy and daddy issues.
You think you want hookups but you actually are reenacting your programming, as is he. He thinks he wants hookups, but he "accidentally" views your stories, then loathes himself into ignoring you.
He probably found another girl *sad violin noises*
lol true and she’s probably hotter. Why would he not block me? I be delusional thinking that means he might reach out in the future but I know deep down that’s not the case
It’s clear he doesn’t want you, just stop overthinking and move on
Ugh but overthinking is what I do best. You’re right tho all my friends have told me to block him.
Block him? You let the dude f you, inside of you. But somehow blocking him is getting back at him or etc?
For what end? To just move on to another random dude who you let f you. And then block him too.
Kind of a weird logic and cycle. Dont you think?
Std farmers /modern women are low value to men.
Most likely he still wants some easy ass but doesn't want to be seen with you. So he removed you from his list.
You've posted this before
No I haven’t lol wym?
Can you give me your opinion on the matter?
