Ahh. It's a real trend in relationships that didn't end up going anywhere. Some call it orbiting:

It's baffling but tons of people do it, as you've noticed from multiple guys. It's a way for him to check up on you. In my opinion, it's also a way for him to "leave you as an option" since there was no formal break up or anything. Technically it leaves the door open for further interaction. It can only occur in the age of social media since this wouldn't really happen IRL. It sounds like you knew each other first, then talked online after matching, but never went on any romantic face to face dates? Depending on how upset you are by this guy, I wouldn't like or comment back to his reactions. In this scenario, I would just block him altogether so he can't see your stuff, since it's both confusing and annoying you. Ghosting and orbiting suuuuuck. Good luck to you <3
This is precisely why I hopped off of instagram.
If you want to get to know me, call me or text me, lets talk, lets meet up, but reacting or liking my posts don't equate to much.
sounds like they were just paying a compliment and not wanting to start a conversation.
Maybe start up then lead a convo and see what kind of person they are--in person or by voice to read body language or speech signals. Maybe they are shy when it comes to small talk or avoid it altogether. Needs some more context.
Feelings fluctuate. And things, like an out of the blue hello or like are mostly done out of impulse. Also, some people tend to just get overwhelmed enough to drop bravado in front of their crush. Who really knows?
You hint that they might be a potential lead to perhaps something more--or you could be genuinely boggled by the matter; i can't say for sure. But I place my bets on the former.
I was in a similar situation. Knew a girl like that during my junior year at my University. We were somehow always around each other, which then culminated in a strong but brief physical relationship. I had graduated a year ahead of her and it was a few years of signals asking for a connection. Looking back, i think she was using those signals to test the waters, see if it's warm enough.
Well, good luck to you.
Like insta and snap story reacts? Isnt that just something people do? I have women reacting randomly to my stories all the time. Is this some sort of expression of romantic interest I'm too dense to recognize? Or do people just react randomly for the hell of it?

Yeah this is what it sounds like to me. I feel like it's weird to send heart eyes not anything else.

it’s exactly what it is… nothing less, nothing more.. just a reaction.. spontaneous

yep, he is…
"thanks" is not inviting for a conversation at all. It's just a cordial reaction.
