Maybe they could care less about social media and do not think so deeply like it’s life or death to have to follow you back because they don’t spend time on social media, it just so happens to exist.

What you're explaining is why you don't make friends at work. It needs to be about work

I work on my college campus at a small climbing wall… we are supposed to make friends with our fellow employees there

yes. it was encouraged that we become friends with each other because we do a lot of group work

maybe. he is just someone i would like to climb with outside of work, so us not being mutuals just makes me feel weird about asking him

Best approach then would be just talking in your free time in person, bring up some of the “climbs” you do, if they show interest or engage, then eventually you can tell them like hey in 2 weeks in going to do x, y, and z climb thingy, you should come too it would be fun. I think that’s the most organic approach. Don’t get worked up on the social media thing or think too much into it.

And I say 2 weeks because that gives anyone enough time to think about it, and maybe go. If they reject then maybe they’re just not down, a pretty clear response.
