It has only been one date, and it didn’t get him all that excited about asking you out to a second one in the near future.

Nonetheless, you are attractive enough for him to want to stay on your radar.

To this end, he hearts your Instagram stories.

At this moment in time, he is far more concerned with pursuing other girls that he has prioritized over you.

Oftentimes, these girls are more physically attractive to him.

He won’t delay or hesitate to ask these girls out on subsequent dates.

Unfortunately, you aren’t one of these super attractive girls.

Even so, he doesn’t want to completely fall out of your radar.

Being that you are a relatively attractive girl, he knows that it is possible you could attract the interest of other guys.

If this happens, you are far more likely to forget about him, and he doesn’t want that.

When he hearts your Instagram stories, he knows you will see it.

He hopes that you will remember the date he had with you and have good memories about it.

At that moment, he also hopes you start thinking about when next you will see him on a subsequent date.

To this end, you are then inspired to visit his Instagram account and look at his posts too.

At this point, you might give a heart to some of his Instagram stories.

He knows that as long as he can get you to keep visiting his Instagram account, he is likely to remain a source of interest and curiosity to you.

You can become entranced and captivated by his posts, which in turn causes you to become more emotionally invested in him.

He already knows he has a blockbuster Instagram account that showcases an adventurous and active lifestyle.

He wants you to become enamored by his Instagram posts.

This keeps you emotionally hooked on him without him having to call, text, or ask you out on a second date in the foreseeable future.

Unbeknownst to you, every time he hearts an Instagram story you post, you are not only reminded of him, but you are also compelled to revisit his Instagram to look at his most recent posts.

This is how lots of guys who have put a girl on their back burner go about keeping her emotionally hooked on them so that they stay on her radar.

His social media does all of the heavy-lifting without him having to put in the time, effort, and money into wooing you at this moment in time.

Since he deems you to be relatively attractive, he wants to maintain an indirect connection, just in case he doesn’t have any success in getting to successfully date the girls he has prioritized over you.

It isn’t worth it to fall into this social media trap.

All it does is keep you emotionally hooked on a guy who doesn’t deem you all that worthy of his time, effort, and money.

The sooner you block him, the better off you are sure to be.
