Noticed a guy checking me out several times and dared to smile at him once from afar. From then on he seemed to develop a little crush on me but never tried to pursue me. Now years later I see him crushing on other female strangers but for them he tries to flex his possessions and try out new clothing styles and in general just to look his best (he doesn’t approach them though). Why didn’t he try for me? Is he embarrassed to like me? Does he consider me low hanging fruit?
I recently texted a bit with him and he at first acted like he didn’t know who I was (doubtful). Until I confessed my crush to him he was really friendly and responding immediately. After that he was acting quite arrogant and he denied he ever had any interest in me and was even slightly rude about it.

It depends. Not as egregiously but some guys would definitely try to impress a girl if they think they have good odds
He was probably embarrassed to admit he liked you
Yeah but why was he embarrassed and why didn’t he try to impress me? I don’t think im uglier or prettier than the other girls
He’s probably shy and he likes you. I don’t think he’s good at making string impressions.
I think he finds you cute or hot, something about you he likes
Yeah but why does he treat me differently? I think he used to like me but now he seems more of a tease with no interest
What would make you a tease for him? He could’ve moved on
He would blatantly stare after finding out I like him but not try to impress me while he tries to impress other girls he is attracted to
Probably checking you out. He likely thinks those girls are sexier and maybe you’re right that he’s rude because he might see you as an easy get option
But why would he stare at me if he thought I was not desirable? I mean he stared at me before I even noticed him.
Checking your body up maybe trying to see if you’d be fun sexually in him or try to see what you see in him
No. He checked out my face constantly and his friends teased him about it
At that point I wasn’t even interested in him
Trying to see when you see in him. What his friend was saying is probably what I’d assume he was trying to do
His friend called him loverboy after he caught him turning around to stare at me from afar several times. And another one told him „but I thought you liked her“ to which he replied „yes but that was years ago“. I mean if you have a crush on someone does it really make a difference if someone is a 6 or an 8? When you like someone you try to impress them either way don’t you think?
Then he doesn’t have a crush on you anymore
They’re crushes they’re not really permanent. I had a crush on a girl but I’ve moved on from it
Yeah but at that time he used to but didn’t try to impress me. Why?
And why would he tease me about it years later by staring at me?
He was probably too shy to act on it and he’s probably taunting you a bit? I don't know
That’s pretty immature for a 26 year old.
Do you think I made a fool out myself by confronting him about his teasing stares?
This was 4 years ago but given he was rude wouldn’t be shocked
No. If you had a crush on the guy you should call it to attention. Easier to ask a guy out like that.
He’s just got a big ego and is very arrogant. Character flaws if you will
But he is only rude to me? Before I mentioned him staring he was quite friendly. Do you think he might be vindictive because I used to ignore his stares years ago and he felt rejected?
Maybe he feels called out and is like really sensitive and soft. He could he petty and bitter too potentially
How can one be so petty even after I confessed? Also that was years ago
They have to be really really petty no guarantees
I must have hurt him pretty bad then back then, don’t you think?
I’d assume so but that’s if he was petty
He’d have to have really really liked you and gotten very upset you didn’t return the interest in him
Why else would he act like a jerk if he was not petty? Lol
Maybe he’s just a jerky sort of guy. I’d move on since he’s not interested in you anymore
No he is usually very nice
Why did his friend then recently try to ship us if he is not interested anymore?
Then he’s probably super bitter since he really liked you then but had moved on I think
Because he knows you both liked each other at one point. He’s teasing you
His friend doesn’t seem to want to tease me. He just watched me and seems like a mature humble guy. I don't know it’s just so confusing
Long story short he had a crush on you but has long since moved on.
If he moved on why is he so bitter? Lol
Like I told you he was head over heels for you. I think he’s upset that if you liked him too why didn’t you ask him out
I told him I was shy and liked him back. So why would he still be vindictive towards me after all those years?
I don’t know. You’d have to ask him I think at this point. What are you considering doing?
Nothing. I talked to him and he pretends he doesn’t know what I’m taking about. I tried to make him open up by admitting that I stared at him too and that I liked him but he still remains in denial and dick mode
So either he thinks I’m messing with him or he was extremely hurt that he still acts like a dick despite knowing I’m a nice person
That’s his attitude so not surprised lol. Dick mode seems to be his specialty
He only acts that way to me
It’s clear to me there’s something he’s annoying about. He probably fucked up asking you out if he ever was interested tho
Well he tried by staring me down because he wanted green light to approach me.
So now you don’t think he was ever interested in me anymore?
He was interested in you but not anymore
He made a playlist about me recently though. Do you think someone would be that manipulative?
Depends on if it was a hate list or not. He definitely seemed like he loved you a lot. Maybe it’s a character issue of sorts from him
It was a lovey dovey playlist comprising yearning love songs about unrequited love, doomed relationships and idolised crushes who are out of their reach.
I don’t understand why he recently made this list but then so Bluntly rejected me via WhatsApp. Either he is fucking with me or he is just mental
He thought he had a chance with you and failed and is too dense to realize you’re interested lmao. Either drag him out to a date or just leave him completely would be my advice
Men can be teases.
But why? He stared at me before I even noticed him
Lead a girl on if anything.
Nah he liked me and his friends knew
