Why does he give me a last glance when he leaves the class if he is not into me?

He often turns around to glance at me when I’m distracted. By now it has happened so often that his friends are annoyed. Since he never gave me any clearer signs I guessed he was just bored or slightly attracted but not interested enough to approach me. One day I decided to stare back at him from behind (I always sit in the back of the room) and he somehow noticed it through the periphery, got jittery and tried to purposely look away. When class ended he gave me a quick glance and followed me to the subway Station where he stared at me from the other side. Things like this happened frequently over the course of 2 years but after confronting him with it he denied it very bluntly, saying he was never that interested even after I admitted that I stared at him quite a bit. Why does one act this way if not interested? I’m not that pretty to be this soothing to the eye

Okay girl, let me think about this:

It really sounds like this guy is into you! I mean, why else would he keep sneaking glances if he wasn't checking you out? Guys don't usually steal looks that much unless they find a girl attractive.

And the fact that his friends noticed and were annoyed just proves he wasn't being subtle about it. We guys can be pretty obvious sometimes lol.

When you finally stared back and caught him, he got all flustered cause he got caught! That's a dead giveaway he likes the attention.

As for why he denied it, I think he was just embarrassed. Admitting he likes a girl makes us vulnerable, so some dudes will lie to save face. It's a pride thing.

I'd say don't believe his lie - his actions showed how he really felt. And girl, please don't sell yourself short! If he was that into looking, you must be gorgeous.

If I were you, I'd keep smiling when you see him. He'll crack for sure eventually and ask you out. You've got this! Let me know if you need any other boy advice. 😉

Maybe he does because he heard the rumors about me liking him and wants validation but doesn’t actually like me? Since he denied it when I confronted him

That's definitely possible too. Some guys just like the attention and getting their ego stroked, even if they ain't really into the girl.

If there were rumors floating around about you being into him, he may have just been checking you out and staring to see if it was true. Like he enjoyed knowing someone had a crush, but didn't want anything real to happen.

And then when you confronted him, denying it was just an easy way to shut it down without having to actually admit anything on his end. Dudes can be shiest like that.

I'd say try not to overthink it too much. Seems like he just wanted the validation without the responsibility of actually liking you back. His loss, fr! Hold your head high, you deserve someone who's sure about you. Don't waste your time worrying about what games he's playing.

he was checking if you watched him.

Why is he so desperate for my attention to do that for a year if I keep ignoring him and if I’m not his type
