Why would a guy act nervous when he sees a certain woman?

[TicTac]

A new guy started at my job a couple months ago. From what I can tell he seems to have no problem communicating with others. When we have passed each other on a few occasions, we look at each other from a distance, and then as we are coming closer up til we pass, it seems like a series of glances - including one as we pass, and no one speaks. He did say good morning on one occasion and I smiled and said good morning back.

It just seems that when he sees me he looks nervous. It is hard to explain, but one occasion looked lightly startled. Sometimes it looks like he is looking all around, but like steals a glance in-between. If we are in a group conversation, he will totally avoid looking toward me and making eye contact.

So his behavior is confusing, because where it seems there are little hints of interest, the nervousness, etc makes me feel like maybe he wouldn't be interested. I do find him very attractive and would like to get to know him. He doesn't know this and I am by no means pushy. I would try to be friendly toward him (saying hello, smile, etc) if the opportunity presents itself and there is no one around.

So how should I interpret nervousness from this guy? Why would a guy act nervous, to what seems to be only around me?

Sound like he's a shy person that has some of an interest in you, looking but not talking much is something I do if I'm somewhat interested in someone.

Thank you for the response. I hope you are right.

[TheDrifter]

Well for your situation, I hope I'm right too.

Are you kidding me? You're 36-45 and you're asking this question? There is no god.

If you guys werent so confusing AT ANY AGE, then I wouldn't need to ask this question. I am sure most woman would agree with me here. x-p

Women are the most baffling, complex creatures on the planet. Men are straight forward and simple. Women tend to over think things so they have a hard time figuring out something simple. You only think we are complicated because you are.

To answer your question, some guys get nervous around a woman they really like. Think back to middle school or high school. This happens sometimes with certain guys who still retain minor apprehension about women from their teenage years and early adulthood.
