What does it mean if a guy act like he likes you but his texting style has changed?

[Anonymous]

He acts like he really likes me but for the last months his texting style has changed. Before he would write me sentences as a response. Now he only writes me one word answers. And responds less. To his other friends, he still writes sentences. He acts more serious towards me but always checks me out and keeps staring.

It seems like he's interested. But I'm not 100% sure. What I can tell you is when a guy is really interested I believe once he's made ground with you, there's no need to text all the time or make themselves seem like this guy that will soften up to a girl he's interested in. Maybe he is trying to keep strong face with you because guys like to come off that way to someone they like. I believe his texting is becoming limited because with guy friends he has plenty to say and with a girl, maybe he wants to talk to you besides texting, that seems kinda distant to me when you really like someone. Another thing could be your responses as well. What are some things you say to him?

Strong dace?/
Even his female friends he texts sentences?
distance?

Here is an example of how it use to be:
Do you like me anymore?
Him: Of course I do. How can I not like people! They are like water, a necessity to all of life.

Now: (Mind you if I text him anything that is NOT about school, he won't respond or say "yep".
Me: We have snow day.
Him: Yep.

Me: Did we have homework today?
Him: No.
Me: Oh thanks.
(no response)

Me: Will you go to prom with me?
Him: I will be in ___.____ during prom week. I leave Friday at 6:00.
Me: I bet you are still going to say no if I ask to see you before then.
Him: 6:00 a. m.
Me: Why you leaving?
(no response)

*face

Then i feel like he's either not interested or its something else. thats strange

[Asker]

But here is the thing! In person? Checks me out ALL the time. STARES. I tried to ignore him, he put his hand in my face, tried to be around me, STARED at me. And by the way, I KNOW he reads my texts. Once I was crying. Miserable pain. I texted him and vent it ALL OUT yet telling him how I still loved him (I know desperate whatever). Next day he gave me a huge RANDOM smile and he had no reason to other than that.

[Asker]

I don't know if this helps but in person, I act VERY confident. Like my walk screams "I AM AMAZING" (secretly I am not). Over text? Kinda desperate. He is insecure over his look and finds me very attractive from what I have seen.

[Asker]

LAST THING. I tend to pull away in person out of shyness. So when he gets close, I pull a little away.

[blackcobra]

Yea so something else is up i do the same thing when a guy gets close to me i pull away i think he doesn't know u like him

[Asker]

Thanks for not making me feel like I am not the only one.

LAST ONE and you win MH. I text him all the time and tell him I love him. But in person, I am confident. He is shy and insecure. Plus I pull away. Could this make him think I don't like him?

[blackcobra]

Thanks:) Yeah pulling away guys think your not interested. in my situation im kinda of similar. he probably thinks your just being friendly. in his head he's probably saying to himself oh this girl doesn't like me somedays she shows interest other days she doesn't.

[Asker]

MH! :D I do really love him though. I just suck...

[Asker]

It worked out <3
