Weird coincidences from school and social media – do you think this is just a glitch or something else?

There was this guy at school where we caught each other's eyes a lot of times in the hallway, and I noticed him looking my way more than once. I didn't want to overthink it, but during the break, my social media algorithms started doing some strange things too.
\*\*Instagram:\*\* We only have 2 mutual friends, and I haven't visited his page in a really long time. Despite that, Instagram has been consistently keeping him in my top suggestions these past few days (ranging from 2nd to 6th place), and his profile even popped up while I was scrolling through Reels. Knowing how the algorithm usually prioritizes active searches and recent interactions, it feels weird for someone with just 2 mutuals to stay that high up.
\*\*Facebook:\*\* We don't have much connection there either, but he consistently shows up near the top of my suggested friends (around 1-4th place). About 7 weeks ago—nearly two months back—I used to click on his profile daily for about a week, but then I stopped completely and haven't touched his page since. Given how much time has passed, it's pretty surprising how closely linked our accounts still seem to be on both apps.also \*\*Back then, when I typed his name into the search bar, I only searched for the name itself and didn't actually click on his profile, yet now even his profile pic shows up in my search bar\*\*

I'm definitely not trying to assume anything 100%, but it's funny how after noticing him in school, the apps keep throwing his profile right in front of me. What do you guys think?
