Why does he stare at me, with and without his friends when I'm around? Even though I rejected him out of fear? It makes me uncomfortable?

So there is this guy, I really liked. 2 years ago my friend texted him on dm and asked if he liked me and he said he didn't. Now I don't feel anything for him.

He heard almost a year ago from people I liked him (which was true and not true) so he asked me if it was true on dm. I said "maybe (it's too stupid to say I know) but I can't really say that because I don't know you personally". He said really simple a "ohw" and after some he blocked me. Now here is the thing. I moved on because I don't know what to do after and that he blocked me was a sign for me that I should leave it.

Since then until now he's still staring at me. Every time he stares at me when i walk past him to head to my class until I'm out of sight. Every time he lookes into my eyes and holds it until I look away. Now I look always away first cuz I get really nervous from it all. So nervous I sometimes can't even look at him. Every time if his friends are with him they stare at me too. He doesn't smile or anything. Nothing. His friends do the same. I once heard from someone that he (the guy I'm talking about) once told him that he sees potential in me... I don't know what that means?

I'm not confident enough to talk to him or ask him that and it's a while ago and I don't want to bring this whole thing up again.

Some say he likes me but I don't know that. I mean he kind of rejected me in the first place. Second I did because I'm scared to let someone in you know. For a relationship. I never had one and I didn't know what side he wanted too with this. Later he said he "just wanted to know it".

I know I was/am a jerk because I rejected him and wasn't honest with my feelings to him but I feel like we both were. And I think that's the reason why we crashed.

I want to know your opinion on this! I'm open for all!

The most important thing you can do with yourself at this age is to overcome your fear of exposing your feelings. This situation is a mess and you may have missed an opportunity for a relationship that would have been very satisfying.

The only way to get over your fear is to force yourself to expose your feelings, face the possibility of rejection, and if it happens. . . the earth won't open up and swallow you. You will survive. And the next time, it will be a little less scary. And, eventually, you will be able to do this much easier and it will decrease the problems in your life.

With this guy, he probably likes you and you still like him. I don't usually suggest texting, but since you are shy, why don't you send him a message that just says, "Hey. I would like to get together to talk to you. Can you do that soon?"

If he responds positively, you know that he is interested and you should feel a bit more confident. And, if he says "no, I don't want to talk," then you have the answer to your question and you can move forward with your life.

I wish I could text him. He blocked me after I kind of rejected him.

If he wants to be with you, he will ask you out. Until then, don't mind.

It takes guys longer to realize they like a girl on a romantic level that’s as simple as it gets!
