Guys, particularly young guys, have a weird fear/trepidation about talking to girls. Some of it is fear of rejection, some of it is just a general cluelessness, and still more of it is an awkward thing. For others it is peer pressure... they don't want to act or been seen to like girls. Frankly it's stupid but some of it is also just part of boys when they're younger. Some advice (not all the advice or necessarily the best advice) would be to just let them grow out of it or to take the initiative and talk to them -- you might be surprised at the results. If these are your peers, remember that boys mature slower than girls and they're behind you in emotional development at this age. Above all, though, don't let it get you down or think that it's something about you.

2 reasons
1 fear of public rejection
2 when there is only one person there is only one option
the first isn't a big deal, the second is an opportunist, and of course it can be both at once.
I've known guys from all 3 categories and only the first has genuinely good intentions.
of course that presumes that there is no existing relationship involved. if you are seeing each other then possibly:
he's not willing to be exclusive yet
he doesn't want others to know
his friends will harass him
he has trouble balancing your relationship with his public persona
Well, that's because both-
publicly and privately, you're a stolen art piece, from a museum.
Maybe that would clear up some things.
Remind him who you are and your good character lol
Maybe he’s shy and doesn’t want everyone to know he likes you. Or maybe he has a girlfriend. Could be either really.

Everyone is scared of being rejected and it feels bad to have people laughing at you when you get rejected in public.
It means he doesn't want to make it exclusive with you quite yet
Because most people, young or old, like privacy.
i do that. sometimes it's easier to talk to a girl alone, than when people are around. too many people judging everything you say, can feel scary. lol.
He doesn't want to be seen by others giving you attention. Won't say it's a good thing.
Like they can't show love in public but then are very comfortable in private so yea..
Same reason why girls ignore "in you public" but gives you attention in private.
Is he ashamed of you? Or is he awkward approaching women.
maybe shy
and maybe don't want others to know about itThey don't. You expect too much of them in public.
Some guys are just more secretive than other dudes.
They are socially awkward.
