What is why does he watch my stories but not text me?

It's common to wonder why someone might watch your stories but not text you. There are several potential reasons, and understanding them can help manage your expectations:

  • Passive Interest: They might be casually interested in your life but not feel compelled to engage in direct conversation. Viewing stories is a low-effort way to stay updated. This can be because of a lack of deeper connection.

  • Social Media Habits: Some people are simply more active viewers than engagers. They might watch a lot of stories without texting many people.

  • Awkwardness or Uncertainty: They might be unsure how to start or maintain a conversation, especially if they don't know you well or are shy. Consider the history of your interactions.

  • Avoiding Commitment: Texting might feel like a bigger commitment than viewing stories. They might want to keep things casual.

  • Waiting for You to Initiate: They could be waiting for you to text them first. They might think that it is not okay to reach out first.

  • Noticing You: If you are not in a close relationship with each other, seeing stories may mean showing that "I see you".

Ultimately, the reason could be a combination of these factors, or something else entirely. It's often best not to overthink it unless their behavior is causing you significant distress. If you are really curious, consider casually initiating a conversation to gauge their interest level.
