Guys, Why do some guys give you the cold shoulder when he's around his friends?

[Anonymous]

See this guy at the gym sometimes. He'll smile and wave back at me when alone, but the last time I saw him he was with friends. I smiled and waved, he gave me a cold nod.

It's a guy you barely know, yet you expect his complete attention. Wow...

[Asker]

Um, we do know each other? That's the point. And I don't expect his attention, but I'm confused about why he's polite to me when his friends aren't around, but seems aloof and cold when they are.

[spartan55]

It's just a matter of them having his attention at the moment. You're going to get a bent out of shape because he doesn't smile and wave at you? Come on...

[Asker]

Ah, you're one of those

[spartan55]

One of those... no idea what you're talking about.

Trying to act tough and cool probably

[Asker]

Why do they think it's cool? It's hurtful to me, and made me feel uncomfortable after

[firenine909]

Because he wants to seem macho and tough in front of his friends and for some reason is shrugging you off. It’s weird and you should probably talk to him about

maybe I will, thanks for replying
