Anyway, thanks everyone for replying. I don't want to be a giant pain, and I'm honestly not trying to shoot everyone down. It is so silly, the Instagram thing, but I really feel like there was a clear boundary drawn and it sucks. Like, let's take how I feel out of it and just say we're two people who happen to have some commonalities and so I email him about his music after he introduces me to it, then a month and a half later follow him on Instagram (which he has linked to his webpage which he wrote down for me) where he basically gives the "Thanks but no thanks" vibe. If I weren't interested in him, it would feel a little snobby. Sorry dude that I annoyed you with my friendship, heh.

Now I'm all annoyed. I need a snack.
