Ex doesn't speak to me but goes on my social media

For him to go out of his way and actually check your stories, when you are not friends, it’s definitely curiosity.

However, don’t equate this that he might still be interested. Ultimately it is whether he acts on wanting to see your or meet up. Social media means little in this case. Don’t let it get to you or get you over thinking.

This is so weird. I am having exactly the same issue at the moment. My ex does still follow me on Instagram, though I unfollowed him and deleted him off Facebook, and he looks at every story I post too (I think with stories that even if you follow someone, you have to actively go and open their stories to view them). MariaTheOriginal, I think in my case my ex probably is scared to contact me as he knows I was hurt when we broke up and me deleting him off social media has probably confirmed that. Does that make a difference to what this means? I’ve been thinking perhaps it shows he’s not moved on as much as I had thought he had.

in his thoughts and out of curiosity

If he were interested in seeing you again, he would at least take a chance and say ‘hi”

Don’t read into it; it doesn’t mean anything. He’s your ex – stop wasting time thinking about him and move on.

Thank you for all of your replies. I think he may be scared to talk to me. Our break up wasn’t the nicest, and about a week after it he tried to make small talk and be friendly but I told him I couldn’t just be his friend, and that he broke my heart and really hurt me. He said he understood and then that’s when we deleted each other off all social media and haven’t talked since.
I have partially moved on, I don’t think I would ever go back to him but it’s bothering me that he’s going out of his way to look at my posts. Especially since this past weekend I was posting something every day and he looked at it every time. If it was out of simple curiosity, why would he waste his time each day to do so? I can see maybe once in awhile, but daily? I’m trying not to read into it but it’s difficult lol. I guess I like to find meaning in it all.

Do you look at IG posts of people you aren’t wanting to be in a relationship with? Do you view at as you “wasting time every day”. I mean, c’mon, it takes a couple of minutes…so I would hardly say it’s a big time investment.

All we can conclude is that he is still curious about your life. WHY he’s curious, we won’t know until / if he reaches out to you. His reaction to looking at your stories / posts could be every thing from “wow, she’s so beautiful, I miss her” to “I can’t believe I went out with this person, OMG look at her dumb post”. NOTE I am not saying you are posting dumb things– I’m just saying — when I check up on my ex’s half the time its with amusement that I was ever into this person. We can’t know whats in his head.

If you think he might WANT to reach out to you and is scared, and you WOULD WANT him to reach out to you, drop him some kind of very non-committal bait that would let him know you aren’t pissed. Like one of his photos or something. That way he will at least know you don’t hate him. Extend a very non-committal minor olive branch.

Otherwise, just wait like Shannon says. IF he misses you like crazy eventually he’ll probably reach out.

You know I there for conclude that he still wants you back regardless who broke up with whom doesnt matter.
Youre def asking cause you feel you want him too but youre just scared to admit it cause youre hurt.
Here it is why would a guy stalks you even if he doesnt follow you on your facebook or instagram we know some men wouldnt care about typing your name if he is isnt curious about you another thing he still has feelings for you like youre a drug to him men realize womens worth when their gone thats how it is
