Likes everything, replies to nothing
Breadcrumbing
He's keeping you in his orbit with the cheapest possible effort. Likes cost nothing; a reply costs intention he isn't spending.
Private dating wingman
Why does he ignore your texts but like your posts? He wants the connection without the conversation.

REAL DECODES
Likes but no replies, decoded.
Likes right after ignoring a text
Keeping you warm
A like after silence is a 'still here, don't leave' signal — attention without commitment. Read it as a pattern, not a promise.
Recently went quiet in DMs
Pulling back
Retreating to likes after real conversation usually means cooling interest or avoidance. The downgrade is the message.
He's shy and rarely texts anyone
Possible nerves
For some, liking is easier than risking a conversation. If he's generally low-text, it may be hesitation, not disinterest.

FAQ
More about likes vs. replies.
What does it mean when he likes my posts but ignores my texts?
He wants to stay connected without investing in conversation — classic low-effort attention, often breadcrumbing. Occasionally it's shyness. DearHim helps you tell which from the pattern.
Should I keep texting him?
Stop carrying the conversation alone. Let your effort match his. If he wants more, he'll have to do more than tap a heart. I'll help you step back without games.
Is liking my posts a sign he's interested?
It's interest at the lowest possible cost. Real interest shows up in replies and plans, not just likes. Judge by what he's willing to invest.
