Why are guys expressionless or smirk when I say hi? Wtf?

[Anonymous]

So this happens a lot. We could hang out, have a short convo etc. then the next time i'll say hi and they won't say hi back. Then i'll ignore them and they'll smile and say hi like nothing happened. Wtf?

So I guess I won't say hi then...

[LivelyLion]

Umm hard to say since so many guys around these days. If they like u and u say hi its that first "oh shit" she might like me for some guys. The return next time and say hi they may have worked up the courage to make a pass and if it followed a cold shoulder (no aacknowledgement on pass) they might feel you lost intersest and hope you haven't.

[Asker]

I’m kinda shy, I don’t pursue guys at all. They are always the ones that come to me or flirt first.

[LivelyLion]

Guys will often approach the female its how we have created the system we find ourselves in. If you want continued interest make sure you give them at least a few signs you want them to continue to pursue. If they think they have no chance they won't continue. However if u make it too obvious they are in control they may get bored try to find balance

[Asker]

I’m not bad at finding a “balance” as u say, my crush has been chasing me for years. But this was one thing I’ve never understood.

[LivelyLion]

Then a smirk is merely acknowledgement they know you are giving them attention

[Asker]

Jeez, I was just being polite. :)) So what should I do then? Not say hi?
And what does the expressionless face mean?

[LivelyLion]

If u say hi and they are expressionless generally that means you didn't really interest them or do anything to excute a reaction. Saying hi to one and not another mean the one is better then the other. So say hi to those you want to know you have interest or just those you consider friends. Oh by special request say hi to the shyest and sadest guys.. You will be surprised how much u can brighten their day and how kind they may be.

[Asker]

Yeah. there's this really shy guy who likes me and he looks sad if I don't say hi. He's a great friend. So many of the other guys try to play games...

[LivelyLion]

I bet the shy vuy will be kind and thoughtful. In touch with his emotions. A bit sad but a quick kiss will really lift his spirits. I bet he isn't even aware of how to play games with you so his actually talk game might be lacking

[Asker]

Quick kiss.. ehh no, he's just a friend. I don't want to lead him on.

[zorro8888]

They're young and trying to act "cool".

[Asker]

This. Some one makes sense lol.
It's so stupid lolz. Just makes me not want to bother.

[zorro8888]

Lol they'll grow out of it soon enough... it's a learning experience after all.

[Asker]

Yup. I'm learning too.

[zorro8888]

My entire time in high school was probably just learning how to flirt and be confident lol but once I got in college I felt like I was good enough haha

[Asker]

Yeah, college guys are really confident. I get hit on by college guys and they are really bold and flirty. i'm like Whoa... slow down.

[zorro8888]

Not all are confident lol but you do see a change in that environment xD
Wait how old are you? I had it in my mind that you were really young for a minute lol

[Asker]

i'm 15. I look like i'm older.

[zorro8888]

Yeah I've seen 15-year-olds that look legal haha

[Asker]

imao kinda makes things awkward when u have to tell them

[zorro8888]

Haha I'm guessing it goes like this :P
"I'm 15 btw"
"Oh really, that's cute kiddo"

[Asker]

imfao so true...
But I really hate it when they know i'm 15 and they don't care.

[zorro8888]

Haha I'd probably switch the conversation so fast lol and start saying "Buddy" xD
Ahh I see you've met the weirdos that like the really young girls lol

[Asker]

Just players who get pissed if every girl doesn't kiss their feet. :/

[rthomas43]

Next time they ignore you, kick them in the balls.

[Asker]

kinda think that’s overreacting

[rthomas43]

If anything, it's under reacting.

[Asker]

So u think it’s stupid and immature?

[TruthsAnAshtray]

This question makes me smirk ;]

[Asker]

Why? That’s what I’m trying to understand here lolz

[TruthsAnAshtray]

I'm not sure why. The situation sounds funny, in a cute way. It seems like a lot of fun to ignore/smirk at you.

[Asker]

That’s what I thought- they were playing hard to get. Most of the guys I know like me so they probably are trying to get me twisted up. It only makes me pissed and unattracted to them lol.

[TruthsAnAshtray]

Yes, that is possible. I can't help but be amused by your anger and confusion.

[Asker]

You...3:)
what do suggest I do?

[TruthsAnAshtray]

Honestly, I don't know. If they smirk, it's at least some form of communication. Expressionless would just be random. Like, no reaction whatsoever after being greeted is like... what.

[Asker]

Yeah.. I guess i'll just keep it simple and won't say hi unless they say hi. Some of the guys used to try and talk to me but I didn't know what to do so they gave up.

[TruthsAnAshtray]

I think saying hi is fine, if they seem like a cool person. It's worth the risk. And if it happens again, feel free to complain to me about it, any time!

[Anonymous]

are those dudes shy maybe?

[Asker]

not all of them.

[tenofthepeaks]

they probably don't like you..

[Asker]

Then why would they smirk or get jealous if I say hi to another guy?
