Why would a man flirt with a woman & tell her much personal info despite having no emotions for her?

[Anonymous]

He doesn't need her to progress in his career.

Then again, when he was showing me actions of interest, he looked emotionless too

[TheSpaceGnome]

Personal info can be shared amongst platonic friends, and sometimes joking or being nice is misintepreted as flirting.

[Asker]

When they start asking to keep in contact over Christmas break and start giving you the last cake in the biscuit tin... there is a difference. Have only known him 1.5 weeks.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Actually those are just normal friend things too.

[Asker]

Also, why act weird when I offer a hug and for the past week he was always trying to be close, be around me, try to touch me, etc. I have a number of platonic male friends and they don't act weird like this...

[Anzyy]

No. But he might look at her in another way. By saying his personal info he might be wanting help or advice too

[Asker]

Look at her in another way?

[Anzyy]

Sometimes we don't just tell people personal stuff because we are attracted. But because we want advice.

[Asker]

My job is an area which needs me to advise others all the time however he is my colleague & doesn't know me. He has opened up quite a lot, flirted a lot, & wants to be around me all the time. It's confusing.

[Anzyy]

I see. Yh I defo think he's into you. Does he act like this with anyone else?

[Asker]

I've known him 2 weeks. Haven't noticed anyone getting this level of attention.

[Asker]

What surprised me if his unemotional response to me giving him a gift of some tea bags which I said I'd share & a healthy green powder drink. I then gave him a hug after he suggested keeping in touch via email. I said I can give him a hug.

[Anzyy]

Yh he like you

[Anzyy]

But do u like him?

[Asker]

He seemed lifeless/unemotional when I hugged him. Not. sure why.

[Asker]

I couldn't stop daydreaming about him after day 2 of talking with him

[Asker]

I like him... yes

[Anzyy]

I think you should give it more time and then maybe more things will start to open up

[Asker]

I agree🙂. It's very early days.

[Anzyy]

I feel like he might be trying to hide it from you. That's why his hug felt emotionless to you

[Asker]

He actually paused for a few seconds, put his head down, and seemed to not know what to say. I nodded and then he left.

[Asker]

Interestingly, I think so too. I see glimpses of warmth from him. He however puts on the neutral look.

[Anzyy]

😂. Sorry to ask but how old is this person? He seems a bit amusing. It's fine if you don't want to say

[Asker]

I actually don't know... he's amusing?

[Anzyy]

Meaning I'm imagining this scenario in my head in cartoon form 😂😂

[Asker]

I'm not sure what was going on during that silence 😂. I offered the hug after he suggested that we keep in touch via email. He seemed a little hesitant saying that...

[Anonymous]

Same reason would do it to a guy. Zero interest but just seeing what a woman's response would be.

[Asker]

Bored?

[Opinion Owner]

Not really bored, just seeing what her response would be. I don't know why this surprises you. Women do this to men all the time just to see thier reaction.

[Asker]

Why do they need a response?

[Asker]

I don't waste my time if not interested in another. That's what surprises me.

[Summeroflove]

I don’t know why people do the things they do. Lol

[Asker]

Yeah... it's a learning experience.

[Summeroflove]

People are complicated and weird creatures. I see these questions a lot why does someone do this or that…. I don’t even think they know to be honest.

Some people are weird

[Asker]

Lol... it makes sense in their brains lol.

[Summeroflove]

Yeah to them and sometimes I even think they’re just confused themselves

[Asker]

True. God help them🙏

[Summeroflove]

Amen to that

[Asker]

Just got off a remote Bible study prayer group and somehow everytime I bring up a prayer request, it's either ignored or little has been remembered. I hardly say anything. Boarding on thinking they're weird as they hear and pray for everyone else.

[Summeroflove]

If you need prayer send me a private message

[Asker]

I'm grand and thank you, but do see weird behaviour everywhere

[Summeroflove]

Glad to hear and you’re welcome. Very strange stuff. People are strange creatures lol
