I know, I know, I probably sound like a silly teenage girl, lol.

A former friend's friend who I met only a couple of times, who is cute and we had a good rapport, has me wondering. The few times I met him, he had a boyfriend, but I haven't seen him in over a year, but I was recently informed through the grapevine he broke up with his boyfriend 10 months ago. However, there was small period of time where I noticed he was constantly responding to my instagram stories in a very playful way and I engaged, but because I thought at the time he was still in a relationship (I didn't know he had broken up with his ex) I didn't engage too much. He initiated a lot back then which I thought was interesting as we only really met two times in our lives.

He recently posted on his instagram stories of a really beautiful shot of a mountain where he was on vacation. I sent him a message saying "Love it!", which he then responded right away with a emoji which I thought was an interesting way to respond. I also noticed recently that every time I post an instagram story he is one of the first ones to see it, and looks at it right away, he's been very consistent with that. He doesn't miss a story of mine.

Currently I am on vacation, but I am thinking when I get back to reach out to him see if he wants to hang. I know these signs aren't too much, but at the end of the day I only met him twice so I find it interesting he's engaging with me in this manner. Some times I also think I am just reading too much into it.

I think these signs are enough to feel comfortable asking him out for a drink
I feel like this "he was constantly responding to my instagram stories" is considered sliding in the dm's
its cute and flirty

Yeah, it's interesting. Right after I met him the first time he added me on Instagram literally like about an hour after he met me. And I noticed there after he was always responding or saying something nice or playful to the stories I was posting. This was happening for a few months. Again I thought he was still with his boyfriend at the time, so while I responded and was nice to him I wasn't too flirty or anything like that out of caution. Also the mutual friend we had (how I met him) I was on the outs with him so I just was doing my own thing.

After several months of no interaction, communication is starting again between us. I think if I had met him a dozen times perhaps I wouldn't think much of this. But seeing as we only had met twice, it has me wondering.

Such is how relationships start. He's made the advances. Encourage him.

100% true. It's funny, when my our mutual friend was going to introduce me to him he told me "I am looking forward for you to meet John, I think you guys would connect really well and really click."

He was right I suppose.
