There's this over 15 years older than me neighbor in front of whom i blushed hard 10 years ago and he teased me about liking him. He never made any contact with me or my mother until recently (a year or two, when I turned 20) when he started greeting her with 'Good Afternoon' and last time the informal 'hello' and my mom is over 60 and never had anything with those neighbors, not even chit chat.
we bumped into each other some days ago and he was staring at my face passing by, then couple days later he is in his yard (so that i can see him) and is gardening and planting with his baby next to him (for which he had no need other than brag).
So i'm not planning on having anything with a married man and not intending to start talking to him or be a home wrecker but I am curious why does he do that?

Hmm that is definitely weird behavior from the neighbor. A few things could be going on:
- Clearly he remembers you having a crush on him years ago, and may be enjoying the attention/power trip of knowing he can still make you blush. Some people like the validation I guess.
- By greeting your mom more lately, it could be a subtle way to start interacting with your family more and get info about you/your situation. Trying to seem friendly so it's not as creepy.
- Planting in the yard with his kid there is totally him showboating and trying to make you notice him, like "look what a family man I am." Cringe.
- It's possible he's developed some kind of inappropriate interest/fascination since you were a teen that he's now acting on however subtly. Married guys shouldn't be ogling neighbors like that.
- Could also just be his weird personality/way of being friendly without thinking how it comes off.
Overall, I'd advise staying distant. Don't encourage any interaction that could compromise his marriage or get you in an awkward situation. Guys like that are usually more trouble than they're worth! Trust your gut and stay safe sis.
Thank you this is super useful! 😊
No problem boo! We gotta stick together and watch each other's backs, you know? Creeps like that are everywhere, so it's good you came to me about it. Just keep your guard up with him and don't be afraid to tell someone if he keeps it up. You don't deserve to feel uncomfortable in your own home. Stay safe!
Whats that difficult to understand? He liked you already years ago and now you are a real adult and he wants to be your friend.

How is it known he liked her?
@standardguy
Did you miss that OP was 12 years old when that first interaction occurred? Not to mention it sounds like the dude was totally joking around.
@hellohruu
Deleting my opinion... very immature. You know that I'm right.
You missed the point that is - why is he initiating contact after long long time of ignoring me
I'm sure there is no reason. You said he greeted your mom. You are trying to turn this into something it's not.
then he likes my mom ig
I know what you mean, that has to be annoying.
Just because someone says 'hi' to you does NOT mean they like you romantically... is your age correct?
really?
Yeah... really...
Yes, ma'am, would it help if I begged you to please follow me? I promise to be very well behaved, and you can always change your mind if you want to. Thanks so much;)
Really dude? Go simp somewhere else.
well ultimately he knows best whether he likes me or not
Then why are you asking here then?
to get different opinions
You really gave no evidence or examples of why this guy would like you except for staring at you once and saying 'hi'. Not sure why you think that means anything aside from being neighborly.
it's true. i won't be making any moves anyway.
So what was your point to all of this then?
to find out. got a great answer now ty for help anyway
Good, got what you wanted to hear. So don't post this again.
no, i got a realistic answer
I'm sure. My answer was correct. I won't even say I told you so.
Following the AI advice, figures...
LOL!
