Are guys always clumsy/nervous around the girl they're attracted to?

[Anonymous]

I like a guy who always gets the drops or fumbles around with stuff when I'm around. His friends presume he doesn't like me because I make him nervous -- why else will this even-tempered fellow suddenly seem so flustered and out of sorts? A friend recently said that he is clumsy because he likes me and it's all he can do to just keep breathing evenly once I enter the room.

Honestly, I am not sure either way. I just know that he acts visibly different around me than around other people. He's very kind and generous with his time, but doesn't generally have a lot of free time. Others have told me that he's very brusque and authoritative with them. When I heard this, I said it sounded uncharacteristic because this guy is such a sweetie. If only you were there to see the raised eyebrow of the person listening to me say that.

What's going on, folks? I'm stumped! If he hates my guts, I'll try to avoid being around him. If he likes me, what is appropriate for me to do about it (since we sort of work together)?

Im like TERRIBLY clumsy when I am nervous, I wil bump into tables, throw stuff by mistake, trip over, walk into the wall, its BAD lol. Generally I get over it after some time though but watch out you don't injure him lol

It's seriously that bad?

This guy has a job where he really HAS to have very accurate work with his hands -- like one wrong move and the unit he's working on will be complete trash -- but if I'm around, he can't even hold on to his phone/clipboard/etc.

Why?

[G-Daz]

if he destroys something in the room because of you, consider it a compliment lol. But for me its only really like that with some girls and only if I don't know them

[Asker]

Aw, but if that happened he'd lose his job; I don't wish that on him!

So if you know the girl this doesn't happen? About how long/well do you have to know her?

[G-Daz]

Not really, not that long is required with me... like I said though even when it does happen its rare and depends on the girl

[Asker]

Got it. Thanks. :-)

If a guy secretly stares your direction for 5 seconds also drops something acts clumsy?

To answer your question title - yes they do.
