In all actuality this guys sounds a bit like myself. I get around girls that I like to talk to, or think nothing of, and I'll flirt like crazy. I won't even notice it and people point it out but when I get around a girl I like and want to have something with I basically shut down due to being so shy and nervous. It's a subconscious thing. It's not so much that he is confident around girls but that he flirts heavily and doesn't realize it because he finds it as just talking and throwing out a few compliments. But when he get around a girl he likes his mind goes into overdrive and he over thinks every little thing and plays over every situation that can go wrong in his head. Which gets in the way of what he really wants to do. Something to think about is to take the initiative yourself. It's not a bad thing and he might like you more for it.
Sounds oil something I do. I’m normally pretty confident and smooth talking to a girl that I do not have interest with. But oh man, when there’s a girl I’m really interested in, everything goes out the door. I become extremely shy, nervous, and start overthinking a lot.
I have a feeling he’s into you and he’s doing what I normally do with someone I’m interested in. If you’re interested in him, I suggest making it easier for him to open up to you. Put him in situations of opportunity and if he likes you, he’ll build up the courage to do something about it.
That's sounds a lot like me. I'm popular in my circle and with friends of friends in my circle. I flirt a lot. I get flirted with regularly. But that's all I do. I'm not very confident but I act like it. Every once in a while There's a women who I am totally intimidated by. Like she's way to good for me. I get flustered. Even though I think she's awesome.
Do you intimidate him with something? Does he like you? Perhaps he's just playing a shyster?
Because you're actually someone who matters and he isn't confident that his usual approach will secure you?
Its easy for people to be confident when there's nothing to lose.
Two polar opposite reasons with the same cause.
He is a bit scared of you. That could mean he either really likes you, OR he is afraid of your social/political views/etc
It's obvious he doesn't want to do anything that will offend you. He's crushed on you...
He likes you, I have a girl I like and I'm extremely nervous and her but not really anyone else.
It's easy to be confident around people we're not emotionally invested in. It sounds like he really likes you.
He is possibly intimidated or he really likes youandflirting is his way of coping with a lack of socialprowess
Have to agree with the other guys. I'm normally pretty outgoing but if it's someone I really like I get nervous.
