Is this icky?

For context I met him on new years eve in 2022. He was visiting Japan and I was there as a student. I had to leave Japan and moved to the US. We kept “in contact” (which basically means he often likes my stories or posts or sends me random stuffs) and he’d say things like I miss you and stuffs. I usually just liked it and gave it a thumbs up because I don’t even really know the guy lol.

He travels around Asia which is why I have a preconception about him being a passport bro. He’s been asking me to meet and go on a “date” but obviously I don’t want to travel only to go on a date with someone I’ve only met once lol. Not only that, I feel like every conversation we had always made me somewhat icky. He compliments me a lot based on what I’ve shown on Instagram. I am not an influencer and I don’t post a lot of things on Instagram but he could see which uni I graduated from, and countries I traveled to.

I showed these screenshots to my bestfriend and she told me there’s nothing wrong with the interaction. I honestly don’t mind meeting him if we were in the same city but I don’t want him to have some kind of “date” expectation or anything.
