I (20F) met a guy (23M) in college through a mutual friend. We added each other on Instagram, and at first I was usually the one replying to his stories and notes. Back then, he kept the conversations pretty formal.
Over time, we started talking more, especially because I was helping him with university-related things (he’s in a different major). Eventually, I stopped being the one to always initiate, and he started replying to my stories instead. For a while we had long conversations, but now we talk less since he’s busy with his courses.
When we’re at college, he looks at me a lot, tries to talk to me, and there’s a fun vibe between us. He also views my stories almost immediately after I post them.
I’m not someone who is usually interested in love or relationships, but I do like him. At the same time, I don’t want to ruin the dynamic we have right now if he only sees me as a friend. I’m confused and trying to figure out whether he might like me as more than a friend, or if I should just enjoy our current bond.
TL;DR: I (20F) like a guy (23M) from college who talks to me, looks at me often, and replies to my stories, but I’m unsure if he sees me as a friend or something more. How can I tell?
