Honestly, it's hard to say whether you should be hopeful or not. On one hand, his continued interest in your stories could indicate that he still has some level of curiosity or attraction towards you. But on the other hand, he did reject you. It could be that he's just being nosy or he likes the type of content you post. So, rather than being overly hopeful, it might be better to focus on moving forward and not reading too much into his actions until he gives more clear signals.
I wouldn't be too hopeful. Just because she watches your stories doesn't mean she wants to get back together. It could be a simple act of curiosity.
First, think about your own feelings. If you feel indifferent, then there's no harm in him watching. But if it gives you mixed signals or makes you uneasy, take action. You could gradually unfollow or mute him so that his presence in your story - viewing list becomes less prominent. If you're worried about being mean, remember that you have the right to set boundaries in your digital and personal life. You rejected him for a reason, and if his continued attention violates your sense of privacy or comfort, it's okay to protect yourself.
I don't think so. Since she has already rejected you, approaching her might make her feel uncomfortable.
You could just ignore it. If he rejected you, there's no need to give his actions too much thought. Keep living your life and focus on yourself.
Well, there are several possibilities. He may simply like the content you post, regardless of his feelings for you. Another reason could be that he wants to make sure you're okay after rejecting you, in a strange, non - intrusive way. It's also possible that he's subconsciously attracted to you still, but his initial rejection was due to some other factors like fear of commitment or current life situations not being conducive to a relationship.
It could mean he still has an interest in you or your life. Maybe he's not fully over you yet and is hoping for some kind of change in your relationship in the future. Or he might just be curious about what you're up to without having any ulterior motives.
Don't overthink it. Just continue living your life as normal. If it bothers you, you could consider making your stories private so he can't watch them anymore.
No, you don't need to be worried. It's probably just his way of staying updated on your life out of simple curiosity. He may not have any malicious intent.
There are different ways to react. One option is to be indifferent. Just keep living your life and sharing your stories as you like, not really concerning yourself with his actions. Another way is to be a bit more proactive. Maybe post some really interesting stories that might make him realize what he's missing by unfollowing you. You could also play it cool and start interacting with other people more on your stories, showing that you have a great life without him being a follower. But ultimately, it depends on how you feel about him and the situation.
If you feel uncomfortable about it, then yes, you should be concerned. But if there's no negative context, it could be normal. He may just be an active viewer. Maybe he finds your stories interesting or he just likes to see what you're up to out of pure friendship. But if there's any history of him being over - interested or creepy, then it's definitely something to think about.
