Why did this boy literally run away after I complemented him?

[Anonymous]

We've just started swim classes in phys ed (my favorite time of year when all the boys have to go shirtless twice a week lol 😜). Anyway I told this boy I like that he looked good with his shirt off while we were doing stretches on the poolside at the end of the class. He was a bit embarrassed but he laughed and we were chatting, then like 20 seconds later he just ran off. Literally ran off. Haven't had a chance to speak to him since. Why would he do that?

Shyness. He doesn't have the self confidence to know how to handle those situations

One reason: shyness.
Second reason: you gave him a stiffy and had to run off to keep anyone from seeing it.
When do the girls have to go shirtless?

Girls mature slightly faster. Boys don't understand what you feel. I know because I did same with girls. They used to hit on me and I wouldn't understand the signs 😅. Now I feel I could have been nice

You probably gave him a boner and he couldn't hide it...

He's going to have a *hard* time in swim class avoiding that now he knows you're checking him out lol...

Us Guys don't know how to act a lot of times with Girls we find Attractive especially when they compliment us, So just try to find him again and just keep chatting to him again.

He's just really inexperienced around girls, and I feel sorry for the kid because I use to be like that.

Fear of being MeTooed, shyness or getting hard or a combination of the above
