why was he interested but doesn't accept me on insta?

at school there is this guy that i've been occasionally crushing on for almost a year now. During last year's spring, we used to see each other a lot and i felt he was also looking at me a lot, my friends used to tell me so. We didn't know anything about each other. I stalked him a little bit though. I know he's 30 (I'm 22) and it's his 2nd uni. After a while of eye-contactship I thought he wasn't making a move because he probably had a girlfriend and was looking at me because he is a prick, guys do that. I just stopped crushing on him, and right after that there was the summer break so I forgot about him real quick.

Towards the end of this semester, I saw him once at the usual place and my friend said he kept looking at me. I was like "nah I'm not crushing on him again because he won't do ANYTHING other than staring". We started seeing each other more and I started actually cathing him staring and stuff. One day, we're at that place again, he's with a group of friends and I'm with a friend, he starts talking to his friends while looking at me and they start looking at me too. the whole evening, his friend's eyes were on me as if they were trying to see if i was looking. My friend was really surprised and she told me she kept catching him staring. It was the first time I saw his friends looking and ngl, i thought maybe that could mean he liked me, and i am stupid for that.

Another day, he was sitting outside with his same friends again, came inside because i was inside with two friends. He sat reallyy close to me and we kept making eye contact, it was INTENSE. My friends were shocked again and they thought he was actually trying to do something. this was last week and i kept waiting for maybe he would make a move, like add me on insta or something at least...

This week is the last week of the semester, and yesterday we had some drinks with friends. Normally, I never make the first move and I am AGAINST it. But my friends gassed me up, they said maybe he doesn't add you because he doesn't want to seem like a 30 yr old creep who adds a younger girl. They told me I should send him a follow request and it isn't a big deal. So at the end, I did... we do have mutuals on insta anyways, and i know that he accepts people who have mutuals with him. It was very late at night tho so i thought he must be sleeping.

BUT NOW, it's been almost 24 hours and he still has not accepted NOR REJECTED. he left my request waiting?? i literally cannot understand why, it is just a follow request, not a proposal and he literally was obviously interested in me? why would u do all of that and not accept my move? there is no way he doesn't know its me because of my profile and etc. so it is obivous that he is doing this on purpose but i just don't get it? i am very sad and dissappointed and idk what to expect. i think i'm going to take back my request but idk when i should do it. i am honestly very turned off if he is doing this on purpose, but i also cannot understand why. do you guys have any idea??

Have you considered the fact that most men don't care about social media as much as women?

I basically check Facebook once a day and Insta every few.

first stop thinking bout it you got nothing to lose if it’s not going your way focus on yourself. and second if a guy wants you he would add you as soon as possible but if he’s not that means he doesn’t see you as a number one so don’t bother
