Although you don't consider yourself vain, you can't resist the urge to speculate if your date's social media posts are somehow related to you. To confirm your suspicion, watch out for the following indications.

1. It feels like déjà vu

If you notice that he's sharing something on social media that sounds eerily similar to a recent conversation you had, it's possible that your words have made an impact on him. Either you've unintentionally influenced his thoughts, or he's deliberately using your words to capture the attention of his followers.

2. You were just together

If you notice that he's sharing something on social media that sounds eerily similar to a recent conversation you had, it's possible that your words have made an impact on him. Either you've unintentionally influenced his thoughts, or he's deliberately using your words to capture the attention of his followers.

3. He's being passive-aggressive

While it's not a certainty, it's worth considering when it does occur. If you and your date recently spent time together and he shares a post on social media praising the experience, it's a clear indication that you're on his mind. If you're following him, he may be using the post as a way to let you know.

4. He's trying to get your attention

If you notice that he's sharing content that hits close to home and seems too familiar, it could be a sign that he's trying to capture your attention. For instance, if you mentioned your love for horses and he's now posting interesting facts about them, or if you mentioned your passion for Latin American dancing and he's sharing an upcoming dance event in your area.

5. He posts things only you know about

If you recall a moment where you and your date shared a laugh together and he's now referencing it on social media, it's a clear throwback to your time together, particularly if he's mentioning a private joke between the two of you.

6. He's asking his followers for advice

It can be an uncomfortable situation. Just imagine logging onto Facebook and finding out that your date is seeking advice from his followers on how to make a relationship work with women. It's a clear sign that he's struggling with dating, even if he's pretending to be smooth around you. This type of post is likely to be about you, especially if he shares it before your upcoming date.

7. He's posting selfies

If you've recently spent time together and notice that he's suddenly posting numerous gym selfies, despite not doing so before, it's a clear indication that he's trying to showcase his physique to you. It could be his way of getting your attention and flirting with you.

8. His attack seems personal

If you find yourself in a situation where your partner uses your insecurities against you, it's a sign of a toxic relationship. For instance, during an argument, if he accuses you of being too negative and always focusing on the negative, and later on, you see a post on his social media accounts that reads "Don't you just hate being around negative people?" it can be quite hurtful. If you're following each other on social media, it can feel like he's intentionally adding insult to injury.

9. He posts whenever you log on

It's not uncommon to log onto Facebook and see that your crush has just posted something, but if this starts to happen frequently, it's worth considering if he's intentionally posting updates when there's a higher likelihood of you seeing them.

10. He's smitten

You've only known each other for two weeks, but since your first date, he's been actively sharing and posting content on social media about finding the right person and feeling loved up. While his posts may not necessarily be about you as he could be dating others at the same time, they do make you wonder.

11. How do you deal?

It's important to keep in mind that just because you suspect someone is posting things about you on social media, it may not always be the case. However, if there are obvious signs that the posts are about you, then it's a different story. What should you do in such a situation? The best approach is to act as though you haven't seen the posts. If he has something to say to you, whether good or bad, let him come to you directly. Confronting him about the posts hastily could have negative consequences or make you come across as a social media stalker.
