Why is this girl behaving nervous/quiet towards me?

[Anonymous]

I feel like she is acting strange towards me. She and I have spoken heaps before and I've noticed she is unusually quiet with me compared to everyone else 😭 I can tell you that I really like her but she is treating me differently compared other people 😭😭😭

I’m going to guess that she likes you and is shy. This is usually me when it comes to having a crush… I find it easier to talk with men I don’t have a crush on, because I’m not preoccupied with what he thinks of me or my infatuation with him.

So you Act like you are ignoring him? She acts likes she is ignoring me

[CMeow]

I don’t act like I’m ignoring… at least that’s not how it should be coming off to him in my opinion. I will still make eye contact if he’s speaking to the group of people I’m in (such as telling us all a funny story). I laugh at his jokes, I acknowledge his presence in some ways. However, I almost never would initiate conversation with him, and might be a little brief in my response to him if he talks to me— because I’m nervous! Then when it comes to his friends and other guys around, I can talk to them with ease, and have lengthy conversations.

That is literally what she is doing. Like tonight she initiated conversation with me about something she observed. But then also acts like she doesn't always acknowledge me. Omg she is brief in responses sometimes when I try and talk to her. It's just putting me down sometimes and making me feel like she hates me. Cause she treats me differently

[CMeow]

I always worry I would make the guy feel that way— and I understand how he could feel like that. If someone talked to everyone else freely but then didn’t talk to me as easily I would probably think they just don’t like me as much… but it’s totally the opposite! It’s almost like I get so nervous that my social skills go out the window and I freeze up, even if I want to be outgoing with him. With me, it takes someone who is patient to keep trying and continue to be friendly to me, and eventually some of my nerves go away. That’s when I can start to move past the shyness and show that I have a crush

Buddy wait for some time when she will get comfortable around you , she would speak and won't act different around you.

Maybe she likes you back, but i would say don't assume too much

[Asker]

She was showing some kind if comfort with me. Then she started acting shy with me

[Akam93]

She is probably shy.

[Asker]

But we've spoken before though. She isn't shy with other guys, but with me she can hardly say anything
