No text but can view my story

This is lowkey a rant but:

I’ve been talking to a guy for a month, he’s sweet and caring.

My small dilema right now tho is that I texted him yesterday but it’s been a day and he hasn’t replied but has seen everything I posted on my story.

Now I don’t wanna sound childish because I’m not freaking out but kinda disappointed for liking him and then being let down since it’s the first guy I’ve liked in 3 years.

He always texts back when he can, there’s even been times where I tell him to stop texting me if he’s busy but he says “I like you! I’m going to reply even if I’m busy”

I have a very big problem when it comes to texting because I feel if I double text or reply too fast it seems needy/clingy/annoying. But with him sometimes it doesn’t matter (in a good way)

So I’m just debating with myself if I should text again bc maybe he didn’t see my text?
