Help plz

What could it mean if your crush that you’ve never met in person does this:

Sometimes watches my story’s so fast

Others takes forever to see it to act like “he doesn’t care”

And I tested him by not seeing his stories one day and the next day when I posted something he didn’t see it either which was INSANE! He was being petty because I didn’t look at his stories. Could this mean something??

Sorry this sounds dumb but I’m tired of his mixed signals. He tells me things that make me think that he’s into me but then stops talking to me and then texts me again. Our conversations are always amazing and we always find anything to talk about. We were gonna go on a date a month ago but it never happened cz things came up and was shy to bring it up. The only reason why I keep holding on is because ik that he as well as me were in 5 year relationships. So it’s hard and maybe he doesn’t feel ready, maybe he wants to be alone or still has feelings for his and wants to get back with her. Any advice?
