He is interested but?

[Anonymous]

It has been a month since I started seeing him daily on the train. One day, he sat next to me without saying anything while I had my headphones on. I assumed he was just another passenger until he asked about the air conditioning. We had a brief conversation, but he didn't ask for my name or show any further interest.

Days later, we had another encounter where he looked at me intensely but quickly turned away when I noticed. I consulted my friends, who said he likes me but thinks I was rude for leaving abruptly on the previous occasion. I didn't mean to be impolite; I simply had to go and he didn't say anything.

In the weeks that followed, I made efforts to approach him and make him feel welcome. Seeing him at the train station brightened my day, and I noticed him stealing glances when I wasn't looking. However, he never attempted to sit next to me or initiate a conversation, likely because of my own shyness and fear of rejection.

I seek your opinions on what I should do. Is he genuinely interested, or am I misinterpreting his actions? Despite his lack of overt interest, I find it hard to let go. I want clarity, whether it's getting to know him or having him express disinterest.

Initially, my friends encouraged me, but now they suggest moving on, believing that if he wanted to make a move, he would have already.

It's like the old joke... two shy people meet on a train. Oh wait, they didn't.

Go talk to him. What's the worst that can happen. The WORST that can happen is neither of you gets the guts to do it and you miss out on something wonderful.

We're not promised tomorrow.

Jesus, your friends either have way too much faith in randos on the train or they want you to be kidnapped.

Like, that's great you wanna be open with this complete and utter stranger, but "he stared at me intensely"?

I don't know. That's too many red flags for me.
But my experience with proposals on transit haven't been good, so, I don't know. Could be my bias.

You can fix this by talking to him- ask him how he’s doing (smile at him when you ask that).

But hebhas already approached u once so what have u done to show u are intrested

[Asker]

As I mentioned, he didn't ask for anything besides information about the air conditioner. At that time, I didn't understand the significance of his question and assumed it was random. Furthermore, he didn't ask for my name or any personal details that would warrant rejecting him. Additionally, whenever I attempt to make eye contact, he consistently avoids looking at me, making it difficult for me to express anything.

And did u ask for his name or anything about him clearly he looks at u and approached u once with small talk it seems all u do is look at him its obvious your both shy and awkward but if u think he will do all the work when hits clear he is shy also u might aswell just start moving on from now

Just ask him to meet you somewhere where you can talk.

Let's keep it this way, he approached you and had started a conversation. So this time you do it. See how things go?

Cool that would be really awesome moove

[Asker]

He will never approach me; I feel like he's avoiding me. He made one attempt, but I believe that if someone is genuinely interested and infatuated with someone, they can't help but be close to them. This situation is making me incredibly nervous and exhausted. I feel emotionally attached every day, desperately holding onto a glimmer of hope.

🤣🤣

Ok i am really attracted to someone but if they won't initiate any convo with me and would avoid me how can i be able to communicate wid her.

Look guys always have the fear to approach a girl coz rejection and they even don't know what's going in their mind

[Asker]

@VikkrramI know but he has been avoiding me since then. I'm unsure how to approach him since he no longer sits next to me. It feels like I'm always the one trying to remind him of my presence. I have my own ego, and I worry about the possibility of him saying he's no longer interested or doesn't want me. It would be humiliating, especially since he didn't show any prior interest or ask me anything that I rejected.

You won't know till u talk to him... it could all be in ur head.. or it cud b true
