am i or am i not in delusion

i'm unsure whether or not this guy is interested in me

for some context, we were friends/talking for a bit a few months back, and since then we do still speak sometimes - it's mainly him replying to my stories on ig and he's not dry at all
until a couple of weeks ago, he would text first and leave me on delivered for like 2 days at a time despite seeing him around college. but now he responds almost instantly and we have actual conversations over text.
he likes all my ig stories and replies to more than half of them, but we barely ever speak at college or interact in any way when i see him around, so it's hard to tell whether he's not interested or just shy.

a couple days ago, we had another conversation from him swiping up on my story, and he started reposting things like 'no contact is finally over' and 'when you're finally on speaking terms again'. this might be a coincidence idk if he was talking to anyone else

another thing - i see him hanging out with this girl a lot, he includes her in his photo dumps that he posts and she comments on his posts too - but they were never in no contact as i see them around quite often and consistently

so yeah - not sure :colonhash: thoughts?

You are not delusional, this guy clearly likes you and that girl could just be a friend. But I mean if has not being talking to you in public it is low key a bit weird. Is he usually shy? He may be just keeping you as an option it really depends on this guys personality. But he defiantly is showing interest

he is quite introverted, but we have spoken in public before but now its kinda just an awkward 'hi' or avoiding all eye contact. I also thought he was just keeping me as an option because he is quite close to her, but it does seem platonic in public. I think I'll just be wary for now because I'm rarely the one to text first

Why not take the initiative (if you're interested in him) and invite him for a coffee or an ice cream or something? See if he agrees to meet you in a one on one scenario like that and then gauge his interest level? This might give you a much clearer picture than trying to judge based on his on-off conversations and responding to your ig stories.
