What does it mean when a guy hovers around you?

Depending on the circumstance and the individual, when a guy follows you about, it could indicate a number of different things. Hovering over someone can generally be interpreted as interest, but it can also be a sign of fear, anxiety, or doubt.

It may be an indication that a man is interested in you if he follows you about and attempts to strike up discussions, make eye contact with you, or make a friendly touch. He might be attempting to get close to you in this situation to determine whether you two connect. It's vital to remember that not all guys that follow you around are interested in romance. Some folks may simply find you entertaining or engaging to be around.

On the other side, it may be a sign of uneasiness or uncertainty if a guy is circling you yet seems afraid to interact with you or avoids eye contact. People who lack social confidence or who are terrified of rejection may exhibit this behavior frequently. In this circumstance, it's critical to be compassionate and patient because it could be challenging for the person to get over their anxiety and move.

In conclusion, it is crucial to take into account the situation and the individual when attempting to understand someone's conduct because hovering around someone might be a sign of attraction or worry. It is usually a good idea to communicate clearly and honestly to prevent any misunderstandings if you are unclear about their intentions.

What should you do if a guy hovers around you?

There are a few things you may do to address the situation if a guy is following you and you're unsure of how to react. Here are some helpful hints:

Analyze the circumstance: Try to figure out why the guy is following you around. Is he trying to strike up a conversation or just look you in the eye? Is he making you feel uneasy or is he being respectful? You can choose the best course of action by being aware of the situation.

Establish boundaries: If the guy is making you feel uncomfortable, it's crucial to do so. You might tell him you don't want to converse or ask him to give you some space in a courteous way.

Be pleasant: If you want to talk to the guy, attempt to be approachable and friendly. Make eye contact, smile, and start a discussion. However, remember to respect your own boundaries as well and don't feel compelled to partake in any activities that are uncomfortable for you.

Communicate clearly: It's best to do so if you're unsure of the other person's intentions. You can immediately ask him what he wants or express your feelings to him. By doing this, you can prevent misunderstandings and improve your mutual comfort.

In conclusion, your reaction to a person who follows you around will depend on the circumstance and your level of comfort. You may address the situation in a way that feels secure and respectful for everyone concerned by setting limits, being kind, and speaking properly.

In what kinds of situations do you mean?

I think a lot of it has to do with approach anxiety. As when a guy hesitates on what to use as a conversation opener to a girl he wants to talk to. He will get close to a girl, look at her, and waste his time trying to think of the best way to be suave in this situation. In the past I've been guilty of hovering near some girls who I wanted to talk to and approach. But in the end I wound up looking like a weirdo and creeped them out. It wasn't intentional at all. Not proud of it. I'd say most guys who do this are totally unaware of how their behavior is hurting their chances with the girls they wanna talk to.

If you flat out tell him to back off, he will most likely get the hint he killed all his chances with you and he will back off.

Well I mean they do really weird things like they either physically hover when I'm standing by myself, or if I'm sitting studying, they'll walk by me multiple times, or they'll sometimes, (I'm not even making this up), literally follow me... the more they run after me pretty much the more I run away.

[Opinion Owner]

Admittedly I've done some of those things you listed (except run after her). I'm ashamed of it but I learned from these mistakes. For me I didn't mean any harm to those girls, but I did not realize how I was conveying myself to these girls. I (and perhaps these hovering guys you talk about) didn't even realize these girls aware of my presence because I was so focused on trying to find the right opener to say at the right time.

I'd say the best thing to do is next time you find a guy doing that, put on your Bitch Shield (as I like to call them), and call him out on it. "What the hell are you doing getting so close to me like that? What's your deal?" If these guys are as timid as I was, they're likely to back down from a bitch shield.

I suspect that they are just bad at approaching women. Most likely they are trying to figure out if you like them or not, and what their next move should be.

[Asker]

Do they like me, or do they just want me to like them?

[Opinion Owner]

I would assume both.

[Liveyyy]

they want to scare you

[Asker]

well it's working

[Klaatu51]

are you the same girl who posted the same question about theguy walking by youhovering a while ago?

[Asker]

Yup. He's not the only one who does it, it makes me so uncomfortable, I feel like screaming or running.

If they just normally approached me I don't think it would bother me as much.

[Gingerbread_GB]

Tell them to fuck off. Real stalking can be illegal.

[Nikki1989]

Yeah, it is creepy.
