It’s to protect against future prospects. Sad but true. FYI Social media is a relationship killer and I’m sure your romantic interest really does like you.

I meant it like, him liking other girl’s photos and friends post but just never mine. @FadedAri

Ouch my bad thinking of my past. But maybe he thinks he doesn’t think you need anymore validation because his heart beats for you. Express to him and I’m sure he could see your POV.

Social media is the devil, I swear. It exacerbates all of our biggest fears and insecurities. When I found myself in the past becoming insecure or obsessive about who or what a guy was liking, I took a break from social media so I could refocus on what really matters. In the end we cannot control other people we can only control how we respond, and choose not to let it get to you.

Are you dating or just friends?


I wholeheartedly agree 😔 we’re friends but we liked each other. The problem is that his words doesn’t match his action. Acknowledging other girl’s post and friends but ignore mine. @ImperfectStorm

It's pretty common to do. You should figure out why you care so much about him validating your posts.

Your friendship shouldn't be affected by his likes and how he uses his social media.


That doesn’t sound like a good friend at all. It’s not about validation it’s just his words don’t match his actions if he skips over specifically me. Just saying. Not trying to start an argument.

How do you know it's just you that he skips over and how do you know that he's doing it on purpose? You do realize that social media has algorithm's, right? You may not even show up on his news feed, if he doesn't interact with your posts often.

As an example-

I've had people question why I don't like their stuff and it was because I didn't actively go to their page and look at it.

It did not show up on my feed at the time I hopped on quickly. One even asked me why I didn't view his stories- I never even knew he had stories because I don't scroll the top list of users to see more stories- I have the same ones who stay in rotation because those are usually the only ones I view, since it's convenient and right there.

I then felt forced to have to look at his stories, just because he brought it to my attention- It's ridiculous.

People look too much into these sorts of things.

Because even my friends have noticed. He doesn’t follow a lot of people like maybe 50 and some are inactive. He has seen my stories with no problem. That’s how I know and he did it on purpose.

You should talk to him about it since it bothers you so much. Especially since you are taking what he does so personally.

This is natural for Water Venuses. I know a girl who starts speaking about her relationships in social media only after they end. She has Cancer Venus.

Posted by ImperfectStorm

Agreed 💯 I have Venus in 12th house. Nobody on my Facebook friends list has any clue about the Pisces, and I’m crazy about him.

If I’m like engaged to be married then I might go public. But I keep my personal business personal and off of social media. I just talk openly about relationships on here because it’s anonymous. Lol

Yup! Unless I'm married or living with someone, they won't ever go on my page. People probably think I'm single on SM

Your disdain for men gave the op your knee jerk opinion.

You fed into her insecurity

And now you pity her?

You have got to be the worst older woman to give younger women advice on here. You want them all single.
