Perhaps he's a bit shy or hesitant to respond to your text directly. By watching your story, he can keep a bit of distance while still being involved. It might also be that he was in a hurry when he saw your text and only had time to quickly view your story.
There's a possibility that he's not sure about his feelings towards you. Not responding to the text could be his way of avoiding commitment or deepening the relationship at the moment. However, watching your story shows that he still has some level of interest in you or your life.
There are several possibilities. She might be a bit shy or hesitant to reply to your text directly. Watching your story could be her way of showing some level of interest without fully engaging in a conversation. Or perhaps she was in a situation where she couldn't text back immediately, like being in a meeting or with family, but had a moment to quickly look at your story. Another reason could be that she doesn't really want to have a deep text conversation but is casually interested in your updates as shown by watching your story.
You could just ignore it for now. Maybe he'll come around later and text you back. Don't seem too eager or pushy.
You could wait a while and then send another non - pushy text, like something funny or just a simple 'Hope you're having a great day'.
It could mean he is interested in you or your life. Maybe he just casually scrolled through and happened to see it.
Well, it might be that they're trying to keep their distance while still being a bit nosy. They didn't wish you a happy birthday because they don't want to give you the wrong idea that they want to be back in your life in a big way. But watching your story shows that they're still interested in what's going on with you on some level.
Maybe he was in a hurry and only had time for one. Or perhaps that particular story caught his eye more than the others.
Perhaps he's a bit shy or nervous about texting back. By watching your stories, he can stay updated on your life in a more passive way. It's possible that he doesn't feel confident enough to start a proper text conversation, but he still wants to know what's going on with you.
Well, it might be that they're starting to feel less angry or bitter about the breakup. By unblocking you and watching your story, they could be subconsciously reaching out in a very low - key way. It could also be that they're bored and just looking at random people's stories, and yours happened to catch their eye. However, if there were still some good times in your relationship, there's a chance they have some residual feelings and are testing the waters to see if they still care about what's going on in your world.
There's a chance he's not interested in the content you usually post. If your stories are mainly about things he doesn't care for, like a particular type of fashion that he has no interest in, he might skip it.
It could mean different things. Maybe they're still curious about your life. Or perhaps they accidentally tapped on it.
