Why he doesn't want to follow me back?

[andzhella01]

I recently reconciled with my friend. He unblocked me, but he didn't follow me back. I ask about it. He replied that he is not very active on Instagram. But I see that he likes other girls. What should I do? I don't want us to have a conflict again. Or should I wait? (we still haven't met. Long distance)

He’s not that into you… leave him alone.

You haven't met? Ever? Is he a friend or someone you like like?.... (also are you 14?...)

He's just not into you, it's not really normal to demand to know why someone not following you on SM either.

You haven’t even met and yet you’ve had a falling out which involved blocking? Too much drama. Give it up.

Conflict with someone you never met that ended in blocking. I'd leave this one alone, way too much drama!

Do nothing. This is childish.

Eh? Why not make real friends in real life? Join a club, do a course, find a hobby, go to the pub, and meat people. Or is that considered old-fashioned these days?

I agree with everyone here. Let it go, brush it off, move on. Small lesson: never spend your time wondering why someone hasn't followed you on sm. Grander scheme of things: never sirens time examining someone else's behaviour. A good fit, be it a job, a friend, a partner, doesn't require sleuthing. Once you find yourself sleuthing drop it and move on.

Back off OP. He isn't interested. You also need to care less about social media. How old are you?

First World problems lol.

Am I missing something? Angst over someone not following you on Instagram?

Is this really where we are???

You've never met and you're fighting over following each other on Instagram?

What should you do? You should recognise that a) people who want to know you make an effort, b) people you've never met aren't people to bother confusing yourself about and c) only children who haven't learnt better define their relationships with people via their behaviour on internet platforms.

Have you not got anything better to do than post on a forum of strangers about a stranger's behaviour towards you?

Give up, that is all you can do. It makes me think he doesn't want to think of you, be reminded of you. He fell out with you. You can't be a fantasy. Men who collect hundreds of girls to follow on Instagram, bit of a turn off.
Block him again!

We like each other. No, I'm 24;)

24

Just forget it and go to school.

His actions say otherwise I'm afraid

Since you are clearly a little bit immature I would recommend you listen to the words of the fabulous Taylor Swift and "Shake it off, shake it offffff". It's not important, it doesn't matter, it's not part of a balanced real life. Find a real person you can meet face to face and form a proper friendship with. Instagram is just a massively curated, fake world of utter drivel.

So, he’s not your friend, you’ve never met, and you’ve already had some kind of falling-out that has required reconciliation? This isn’t how adult human beings form relationships, OP.

My friend is 42 and does this with several men 'friends' she 'talks to'. I really do not understand arguing on Facebook with someone you have never met, or even Facetimed with!

Nonist non-issue of the day. Sorry op, I would just forget about this.

“So, he’s not your friend, you’ve never met, and you’ve already had some kind of falling-out that has required reconciliation? This isn’t how adult human beings form relationships, OP.”

This with bells on.

This isn’t how adult human beings form relationships, OP
What does this mean? If you mean the drama, fine. If you mean online then, you’re being incredibly patronising because it’s 2023 and they definitely do form relationships online, it’s been happening for years. I suspect it’s the latter and you’re using to have another little dog at OP.

Relationships and friends certainly do form and exist online! Genuine ones. 70% of my friends are in different countries and were met online-- for some it took 2 or 3 years to actually meet in person but they were and are very much part of my life and I am part of theirs. Ignore the out-of-touch comments OP. I would be a bit suspicious why he won't follow you back tbh. We could speculate why but none of the reasons are that good. Just be cautious with him.

Wow. So much drama. You’ve never met. You’ve already ‘fallen out’ to the point he blocked you. He’s refusing to ‘follow you’ back.

Who gives a shit? Is any of this worth it?
