Question Posted Sunday May 18 2014, 6:49 pm

So my boyfriend and I broke up for about 2 months now and I was begging him to be back with me for a while.. We were together for almost 2 years and we've broken up once before but got back together after 3 months of me trying to see him and convince him. Well lately ive been in no contact with him for a month now and he's always checked my snapchat stories ever since. Suddenly yesterday when i posted a picture of me on instagram of my trophy from tae kwon do competition he liked it right away. What does that like mean? I still have feelings for him but im trying not to hurt myself with high hopes but its hard still. The purpose of me in NC is just for me to heal a bit, improve myself, and ultimately make him miss me.

Since I don't know your boyfriends personality at all, I would have no idea what his clicking to "Like" your picture means, even considering the fact that you both used to date.
When I click "Like" on Facebook for example (I'm not on snapchat) it can mean several things.

Here's what different reasons I click the "Like" button for.
1. I am merely acknowledging that I saw the photo or update a person posted about their status or like your trophy pic, seeing and acknowledging I saw the pic. Sometimes the photo is poor quality and I don't like it at all. Or the update status is over something I have no personal interest in but I want to support that person in what is important to them so I click "LIke".

2. Another reason, is that some saying or photo made me laugh. I may not totally agree with the words in a saying or with a photo, or I may not agree at all. So when I click "Like" I am not saying I agree with a statement or saying it captures my sentiments exactly. I am merely liking it cus I laughed.

3. And lastly, I was impressed in some way. What I saw or read was so cute, well put and clearly said, something I am already interested in, that I will click "Like". About 1/3 of these I 'like' will also get passed on/shared.

I am sure your ex boyfriend has several different reasons for clicking like. I can't begin to guess which reason he had for doing it. Men don't process their emotions the same way as females. So following a breakup, they will behave differently than a female would. It could mean what you may be imagining it to mean, but theres no way to know short of asking him. I would assume you both are not on a talking basis now. But if you are, you can always ask him what it meant. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
