she rejected me but still watches my stories

Well, it's a bit complicated. She might have rejected you for a particular reason at that moment, like not being ready for a relationship or having other priorities. But her watching your stories could indicate that she's not entirely indifferent to you. It could also be a subconscious thing, where she's used to seeing your updates and just continues to do so without really thinking about the implications. Or perhaps she's having second thoughts about her rejection but isn't sure how to approach you again, so she just watches your stories for now to see how you're doing.

I don't think so. Since she has already rejected you, approaching her might make her feel uncomfortable.

There are several reasons. First, she may simply be polite. Just because she rejected you romantically doesn't mean she wants to cut all ties. Second, she might be subconsciously attracted to you still. Sometimes, people reject others for various reasons like fear of commitment, but still have an underlying attraction. Third, she could be using your stories as a form of entertainment. Your stories might be interesting or relatable to her, regardless of her romantic decision. However, it's important not to read too much into it and just take it at face value for now.

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.

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.

Maybe. It's hard to tell for sure, but the fact that she watches your stories could indicate some level of interest.

She might be in a state of conflict. On one hand, she blocked you perhaps because of a fight or some negative feelings. But on the other hand, she's not fully ready to let go and still wants to keep an eye on you. It could also be that she doesn't want you to be able to directly interact with her, but she enjoys passively observing your updates.

It depends. If you think there's a chance she might have changed her mind based on her story - watching behavior, you could try approaching her in a very non - pushy way. But be prepared for another rejection. If you can't handle that possibility, it's better to just leave it be.

Well, she might be having second thoughts. She ghosted you perhaps in a moment of confusion or because she thought it was the best thing to do at that time. But now, by watching your stories, she could be subconsciously missing you or just trying to keep tabs on you without fully committing to a conversation.

It could mean she still has some curiosity about your life. Maybe she doesn't completely want to cut off all connections with you, even though she ended the relationship. It might also be a habit. She used to be interested in your stories, and it's not easy for her to just stop all at once.
