Do guys sometimes avoid girls that they like?

[musicloverr8]

Just wondering because I get that reaction from time to time. Is this a sign of immaturity on a guys part?

Guy avoiding girl

Yes, guys sometimes avoid girls they like if they are intimidated

Avoiding a girl you like is a sign of immaturity

No, a guy avoids a girl if he doesn't like her

Other explain

It really all depends on the intentions of why he likes that person. They can be attracted to that girl, but that doesn't mean he likes her. It doesn't mean that he has to date her, especially if he doesn't really know her. A guy has to have time to understand his feelings as well as why he feels the way he does. And what and not what he's feeling is right or wrong. A lot of people get into relationships based on feeling and in one in a while to have bad relationships. Even if they don't like you oh, that's not going to stop him from not being attracted to you. I'm a person that goes to that all the time. Sometimes it is immaturity, sometimes they are shy, and I had to deal with a person who was literally a sociopath in my opinion who I had to come to an understanding that he was attracted to me but at the same time he didn't want to be attracted to me. And that's what caused a lot of problems between the both of us and we really dislike each other. The problem is a lot of girls and guys don't want to hear the truth concerning this situation. Don't allow your feelings and emotions to drive you into making wrong decisions. Find out why you find yourself attracted to that person and whether or not that person is somebody you should get to know. It would help avoid unnecessary problems. Just because I find myself attracted to a certain person that does not mean I want to date them all be in a relationship with them. And I would appreciate it if that person does not force me into doing something I don't personally want to do.

But how can you tell they do it because they like you and because they dislike you?

[Lance1965]

If they have low self-esteem, are shy or really nervous they will most likely avoid. These things can cripple a man in the dating world from what I have seen and heard.

[Ghost285]

If a girl is shy and avoids do you think she's attracted?

[Razal]

Nervousness

[Razal]

Thanks for MHO 😉

[SjE78]

sometimes yes, but it could be for any number of reasons..
the main ones are

if they view the girl/woman as way out of their league
nerves and insecurity in themselves
the girl/woman is already seeing someone
the girl/woman is attracted to someone else
their friend/brother likes them and had an interest before them
and there are a few more but these should cover the basics

[musicloverr8]

That makes sense I suppose it's the same for us girls.
But let me tell me a bit of a situation I am in and which reason you think It is.
There's a guy at my university who I like but i only see occasionally at the gym. He is on the baseball team with an acquaintance of mine. One day, I was at the gym and the guy I have a crush on was all up in my face checking me out and stuff but didn't manage to strike up a conversation.
A few days later, I saw my acquaintance sitting with my crush at the cafe and I said hi to my acqauintance.
After that, my crush started avoiding me. Do you think he was offended that I saluted his friend and he thinks i like his friend?

[SjE78]

he may have thought you and your acquaintance liked each other or maybe thought cos you said hi to who you knew better, he may have taken that as a sign you had a thing for them not him...
and which could explain why he began avoiding you...
it could also be a case of he misinterpreted the fact you didn't get chance to strike up a convo when he was checking you out as a lack of interest or it could be he may have felt he might have came on a bit to strong in doing so which may have made him look desperate or pushy etc...

best thing to do is next time you get the opportunity, seize the moment find an excuse to talk to him and if he's interested then he will let you know in return by reciprocating

[musicloverr8]

Yeah I get what you're saying. Well my intention with saluting his friend was to draw a connection I figured this would have him feeling more comfortable talking to me if we had a mutual acquaintance. But yeah he avoids me now haa. Guess I screwed that one up. I don't like his friend! 😕😕 I don't even know what to say if I saw him around.

[SjE78]

nothing is screwed though, a misunderstanding can be rectified, but depends on how much you like the guy... I'm sure if you spoke to him about things then it would give you much more chance of salvaging something before it's too late...
of which I dont think it is too late tbf

[musicloverr8]

True. I feel like he will just keep avoiding me though so it's going to be hard to talk to him. But I will just have to give it some time and see where it goes.

[SjE78]

harder yes but if he sees you trying then he will not avoid you for long, but leaving a note on his locker or where you know he will find it will help

[musicloverr8]

Yeah I guess you're right.. maybe he's insecure because he has a lazy eye or because English is not his first language..
But what should I say, hey you look familiar, I have seen you around?

[SjE78]

doubt they are the reasons though but he may be insecure as he may have misinterpreted you not acknowledging him for lack of interested though but what i would say is

"hey I've been wanting to say hi for a while but didn't know if you would be interested in speaking with me" then just go from there

[Thatsamazing]

Other-- the answer is simply "yes." I don't really know why you added that part about being intimidated; it has nothing to do with intimidation. And it has nothing to do with immaturity. That's not fair either. He simply could be sad that he can't have her for example, and that sadness is something he wants to avoid from being around her so he avoids her.

[musicloverr8]

Why would he be sad? He doesn't know if he can have her or not if he avoids her !

[Thatsamazing]

If she has a boyfriend or if he feels that she's out of his league

[djmzes]

Same question can be asked
Why do girls avoid guys they like?

[lightbulb27]

yes, if they are not confident, they will avoid, it also may be broken self image.

[besticanexplain116]

Perhaps some of the ones that would ever matter do, yes.

[genericname85]

yeah, if i see no chance of them liking me to protect my own psyche xD

[Gavyn]

I usually do that if I'm trying to lighten the feelings a bit and detach.

[Wise_man]

I used to ignore this girl i liked, because she hurt me.

[tearout]

I assume all girls are evil

so unless she is giving up sex
I avoid even if she is hot

sex is the only thing women are good for now

[sasukeuchiha7]

Probably he's too shy in front of her so he avoids her or he likes her and is trying to get over her.

[MyExperience]

only in high school and with grown men who have insecurity and confidence issues

[MrMansonsPocketPssy]

Yeah, that could sort of be tsundere behavior.

[Ranger42]

Yes.. I feel like they do it to avoid embarrassing themselves.

[Dan62]

[Anonymous]

Guys go after women that makes them feel good, sometimes we like a girl but don't feel comfortable with her

[Ghost285]

Yes, and they act scared sometimes, oh guys we don't. only girls
