Search Results: being guarded

So, we're both seniors in high school. I'm 17, and he's 18.

I never was interested in him until about less than a month ago, when I went to go take pics of him for Yearbook. I did, and he was indecisive about which one he liked. I told him, "It doesn't matter. I think you look good in all of them." For a brief moment, he just looked into my eyes, perhaps somewhat caught off guard by my comment. I didn't mean it flirtatiously, but ever since then we've become better friends. Now it's to the point that we're constantly teasing/being playful towards each other.

We began to text over Instagram and Snapchat within the past week too. We hit it off well, and it all started with me complimenting him on his writing skill. Throughout the messages, he called me "really sweet" several times and told me that he's sure my writing is "much lovelier!" Then, our messages became more scarce. I know he's really busy with school too, so I was understanding bc he even apologized to me about it.

Now, he isn't even liking my posts anymore. He's posted on Insta, but won't open my message from 2 days ago. He's responded to me a couple times on Snap, but I don't know. It's not like we don't have anything to talk about or that we're awkward around each other in person at all. He won't even look at my Story either, but he'll Snap me individually to answer me a few times.

Like I said, we are always playful and stuff in person, but I think he's trying to play hard-to-get over text and social media. What do you think?
