He literally ran away from me? Does he not like me or did he get scared?

[Anonymous]

For about two months I have seen him staring at me and he will continue to stare right into my eyes when I catch him... I thought he liked me, but today I was in the hallway, he was ahead of me and there were a bunch of girls standing in my way so I said excuse me when I looked back up at him he was walking really fast almost running? Do you guys think he thought I was going to approach him and get scared or that he just doesn't like me?

I'm no guy but I have an experience that may relate to yours. There's this guy I really like, he can talk to anyone just fine including other girls but me it's almost as if I make him nervous. I would catch him staring and looking away quickly as well. One day when I got off the bus I was walking to cross the street. There was a lot of people there then I noticed he was there staring but when our eyes met he looked away suddenly (typical). It didn't even register into my head that it was him until too late. He basically stormed away after that as if he was trying to avoid me which really hurt because I like him a lot. From most of the feedback I've gotten from both guys and girls, guys who appear to be shy around a girl they like tend to avoid them. It's weird cause they're basically sending out the wrong signal but this is what I've heard from others.

Thank you that does help a lot because he stares a lot and we lock eyes all the time and he will break his neck to keep the eye contact, but today I was busy and by the time I saw he was looking at me he was turning his head away from me. After that I got the feeling that he was thinking I was trying to talk to him, when in reality I was trying to get past some girls that were in my way. It confused the hell out of me when he took off like a bat out of hell. Lol.

[Mikaychay95]

I'm glad we both can relate :) do you like this guy too? The staring experience is identical to yours. I laughed at "bat out of hell" lmao

[Asker]

Yes, I really like him.
Everything about him is amazing.
It bothers me that he hasn't tried to talk to me though. Lol

[Asker]

That is exactly what it reminded me of. He was there one minute and the next he was gone. Lol

[Mikaychay95]

I know how you feel, it hurts. I was behind him the whole time but couldn't catch up anyway, yes he was walking that fast. It turns out our classes were in the same building and I even waited outside for his class to end but he never came out :( I was really upset that had to happen. The last time I saw him though I was exchanging snapchats with a couple girls I met at this party and he handed me his phone and had me do the same. Later that night he put his arm around me and this other girl (she has a bf) but I think he was drunkish.

[Asker]

Aw, it sounds like he did like you! Always remember that drunk people always show their true colors/feelings.
It does hurt, I know, I have two weeks left in school and I'm done, he doesn't know this though. I know I'm not going to ever get the chance to tell him how I feel or even get a shot at knowing him... And it really bothers me.
If he sped walked like that today, I can only imagine how it'd be if I WAS to approach him. LOL

[Asker]

He'd would be running. And he is a paramedic and in shape so I know he can outrun me haha

[Mikaychay95]

That's a good point! I'm sorry you only have so little time left with him. If he were to not run away then would you consider telling him how you feel. From what it seems he could like you too, people tell me that it seems like he does but who would really know the right answer?

[Asker]

Exactly, it so weird lately I haven't even been able to look him in the eyes and he has noticed this so I think he thinks I'm not interested.. ): So he glances at me and looks away quickly. I'm getting really depressed over it, its insane.

[shadowlegend]

I doubt his behaviour is in response to you. You might be overthinking it.

[Asker]

Very true, thank you!

[matheus_mb]

I think he got scared. Maybe he's shy with girls and wanted to avoid contact.

[Asker]

He let's me know that he is staring at me though. He breaks his neck to maintain eye contact... I just don't get it. ):

[matheus_mb]

Yeah, it's weird. Maybe he doesn't care that you notice it, or maybe he even doesn't notice that he's doing it.

[Asker]

I get not caring that I notice, but how can you not notice something you do everyday? Lol

[matheus_mb]

I mean that maybe he didn't notice he was so obvious. It's possible, but it's just a guess though.

[Asker]

You're right. Thank you!
