Can a cocky flirty outgoing guy act shy around a girl?

Yeah a guy who is cocky flirting outgoing around girls but with me he acts more reserve quite and shy. He does talk and flirt With me but only if we are alone not when his Friends are around. Or does he act different around me because he does not want me to think he likes me since I have flirted with him I am not too aggressive when I flirt since I am shy.. He did approach me first and began to flirt. When I see him with other girls he will joke and tease with them but with me he is not loud more quieter does not joke and more serious/sincere with me. I catch him starring at me from across the room . If I am talking to another guy or a guy friend will hug me he will look sad and depressed. At me. Number occasions he has smile/nod not say a word, stares deep into my eyes. He seems to be nervous, intimidate afraid of me sometimes. It is just hard to tell what he wants from his personality.

Wow! He's into you, or at least he sees something special in you. So to answer your question, YES, a guy can be cocky and flirty and outgoing and then act shy around a girl, and most especially around you since he's got no problem with other girls. He probably only flirts with you privately because he feels like he's lost his suave approach that his friends are used to seeing when he talks to women. You did mention that he gets a bit nervous or intimidated.

Personally, if I were giving off all these signs, I would be into you. But I would be unsure of myself and your feelings toward me, especially since he's seen you being happy and hugging other guys. So let him know you're interested by stepping up the flirting specifically for him, or else he might get the idea that you're a natural flirt. Encourage the thought that you like him and want more, then see where it goes. I hope this helps, and goodluck!
