Why Would a Guy Ask for a Girl’s Instagram if He’s Not Going To Message Her?

When he asked for your Instagram, he was excited in the moment and looking forward to continuing to get to know you through Instagram.

Once you gave him your Instagram and accepted his follow request, everything changed.

He now had access to your Instagram feed posts and reels, stories and highlights, followers and following lists, etc.

With this kind of access, he had an opportunity to get a more substantial idea of who you were.

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.

Whenever he likes a post of yours on Instagram, you are curious about why.

This isn’t a guy who follows you, and yet he keeps liking your Instagram posts.

It has you curious about his motives.

You make it clear in your Instagram profile that you have a boyfriend.
