This guy likes me, but why is he ignoring me?

[driftangel]

When he walks by I say hi and he says hi too, without even looking me in the eyes. He ignores me, doesn't do anything to get in contact with me, yet he still looks at me most of the time and a friend asked me what I thought about him.

Is he playing a mind trick or what?

[JustChris]

I think he ignores you because there are times or situations when you aren't noticing him and he sees you interacting with others which gives him the impression of you're not into him. This guy is observant. Maybe it was a bad day (probably not) or not. I can't figure out when you say hi and he says hi without looking at you at all. I guess that's being shy to the extreme right there, I don't know.

That's his personality, the way he just is. He doesn't do anything to get in contact with you because he's shy and shy guys are like that. And I don't think it's a mind trick. He just doesn't know how to show his feelings to you or confront you with it. He's just a shy guy, talk to him more bit by bit and he'll slowly open up like you unwrapping a present bit by bit until you see the whole thing.

I think he's very shy. It sounds exactly like what I used to do before I managed to get over my shyness.

Try making a move yourself. I know the guy is supposed to do that, but I don't know a single guy who doesn't hate that he always has to make a move.

What if (for example) you where that guy in this case, what would you like to hear from me or what actions would you want me to do? Like a date or so or is that a too big step? And why does this guy gets even more nervous when I ask him why he acts so strange around me. Would you think of me before you go to sleep and stuff like that? :p I'm sorry I'm asking you awful lot of questions but you're a guy and you can translate the boy language to me. ^^

[Jeffry]

Well, you asking "me" out for a date would be a bit to quick I guess. Try talking to him more often, you'll have to start the conversation, and keep it going(i'm sorry shy guys are a pain in the ass I think) And make sure to compliment him once a while.

That all should make him relax a little more around you. And eventually you can ask him for a date.

[JustChris]

If I was attracted to you and I didn't make a move I would want you to smile and look some times at me. Talk to me like you really want to know about me and ask about the things I like to do and go more in depth with it as I slowly start to comprehend and get the feel of what is going on. It would probably make my day a whole lot better than it already is. Asking me out on a date would be a bit too quick, too soon in my opinion. I think why I would get even more nervous when you ask me why...

[JustChris]

I act so strange around you is because I don't want you to feel awkward that when I talk to you I'm just hitting on you. It's not like that. Maybe I put you on a pedastool and that I don't know what to say when you ask me that. There are different types of reactions to that question and in this situation one of them would be: I don't know why, I'm nervous, I don't want to mess up in front of you. I'm shy and I like you. Would I think of you before you go to sleep and other stuff?

[JustChris]

I definitely would because you're the only thing on my mind that's been running thousands and thousands of miles. I would be laying in my bed, looking at the ceiling or with my eyes shut just thinking about the day and what happened that day and about other people and how there day is going. For that special someone I wonder if she feels the same like how I feel the same about her. I haven't came out of my shell yet. I need to get better with interacting.

[JustChris]

That's what I would see if I was that guy.

[Jeffry]

I could not have said it any better.

Guys you too are amazing. <3 Imma re-read these posts a couple of times so I can imagine every point you said. I am a visual thinker so understand so much text is hard work! But I appreciate it so much thank youuuu

[JustChris]

You're welcome ha ha and I'm an audio/visual learner so yeah It's hard for me to comprehend when I'm reading a text that doesn't click with my brain so I would have to re-read the text over and over until it makes sense.

[LaurenLou]

It seems like he's trying to get to know you, before he makes his move maybe ?

Try talking to him some more maybe ?

[driftangel]

thank you! I'll definitely try!
