Should I move on from this crush?

[Anonymous]

i'm pretty sure a guy likes me, because he literally always looks at me and looks away when i look at him and many other nonverbal signs, and some of my friends said that he probably likes me. however he used to try and get my attention before by doing weird things, but i've noticed he seems to be avoiding me, and now it's at the point where i walk into a room and he leaves. i don't really understand what to do. we are not friends and don't have any social groups in common, but he's a very outgoing person with everyone but me and it sucks that he doesn't even wanna talk to me or become friends at least. fyi he's acted like he likes me for like 5-6 months now, but i've liked him for about 3 months. he's never really approached me, we only had like one conversation because i went up to him when he was talking to my professor and joined their conversation.

i don't know what to do, i have no idea how to approach him and i want him to approach me, especially since he's so much more social and popular than i am. however, since he's clearly been avoiding me, should i just move on? i need advice!

You’re in your head way too much. Talking to someone isn’t this massive obstacle that you’re allowing your shyness to make of it. Approach him like you’re talking to a friend. That’s it. What will make it hard is when you’re thinking of all your feelings, all his actions, and trying to assess and decipher him when that’s far too much unnecessary work. If you were to talk to him about any one of these questions you have, you’d probably be very surprised to hear he’s not avoiding you, that he has no issues, that he’s preoccupied, or just any number of things you can be totally wrong about. But you won’t know until you make a move rather than waiting around for him to. So be brave and say hello. If you are just far too shy and lacking the courage then it’s better to forget about all of this.

Why would he want to do that when you aren't doing anything to show interest?
