There's a possibility that she's just casually looking at your stories out of boredom or habit. Maybe she doesn't feel the need to reply to every story she watches. It could also be that she has some sort of conflicted feelings about you. She might be attracted to you but has reasons (like being in a relationship or having personal issues) that prevent her from replying.
Perhaps she doesn't know what to say in response. Watching your stories is her way of staying updated on your life without having to come up with a reply. It could also be that she doesn't want to engage in a conversation directly but still wants to be part of your world through your stories.
Maybe he's shy. He might be interested in you but doesn't know how to start a conversation. Just watching your stories is his way of staying updated on your life without having to interact directly yet.
Perhaps she just prefers to observe silently. She might be the type who likes to take in information passively, like through your stories, without the pressure of having to reply to a text. It could also be that she's in a situation where she can't text back at the moment, but has time to quickly check out your stories.
It could mean she's just casually interested in your content. Maybe she doesn't want to commit to following you but still enjoys seeing what you post from time to time.
Send her a friendly and non - pushy message like 'I noticed you've been watching my stories. I hope you're having a great day!' This shows that you're aware of her viewing but also keeps it light.
It might be that she is shy about following you. She could be interested in you or what you post, but for some reason, she doesn't feel comfortable with the idea of following. So, she just watches the stories as a way to keep in touch without making it too obvious. For example, she might be worried about what others would think if she followed you.
It could mean she's still interested in you but is shy or doesn't know how to start a conversation. Maybe she enjoys getting updates from your stories without the pressure of direct interaction.
It could mean they're still curious about your life but don't want to directly engage. Maybe they miss you a bit but are hesitant to reach out.
It could mean that they still have some level of curiosity about your life. Maybe they're not ready to completely let go, but also don't want to fully engage by following you. It's like they want a little peek into what you're up to without making it obvious that they're interested.
I don't think you should be overly concerned. Everyone has different ways of interacting on social media. Some people are more passive. He might be one of those. He could be enjoying your stories at his own pace without feeling the pressure to reply immediately. If it really bothers you, you could try sending him a friendly and non - pushy message to see if he'll start a conversation.
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.
