AITA for following someone from my BIL’s side.

I am feeling a bit embarrassed and overthinking this situation.

I (22F) followed my brother-in-law’s niece (23M).

He is studying the same degree. We have met three times at family functions.

There was some eye contact.

This woman had a few encounters with her brother-in-law’s adult niece.

We sat next to each other during rituals with other siblings.

We stood near each other for group photos. Nothing very intense happened.

We had one mutual on Instagram.

After coming back home, I did not think much about it.

I did feel something. I did not follow him at that time.

She decided to follow him on Instagram.

After two months, I took the initiative and followed him.

He followed me back. We have not talked or liked each other’s posts.

It has been 3 days. Now, I am feeling a bit ignored.

I feel like I made a fool of myself.

But now, she feels embarrassed.

I am overthinking. I cannot even unfollow him.

Maybe it is just me who thought it meant something, and perhaps it meant nothing to him.

I do not know what to do. I feel embarrassed.

I did not even have any intention of dating. I still feel ignored.

Don’t worry, hun. It is very common for women to overthink. And this right here is a sign of classic overthinking. Lol.

At least she got a follow back, right? Also, three days isn’t enough to conclude anything yet.

Who knows? Well, let’s just wait and see…
