Why is he so standoffish and unfriendly with me but friendly with other girls?

[Anonymous]

So there’s a guy I recently met at the gym and we finally introduce ourselves and said hi a few times after that. He didn’t shake my hand or anything. He’s friendly in a one on one scenario. But we were at an event and he kept blanking me out, talked to some other girls we were around, introduced himself to my friend I was with and shook her hand, he seemed happy to be there. He didn’t talk to me much except a couple sentences. I’m not a weirdo or anything so there’s no reason to be hostile. Could he like me but is shy?

He sounds very unmature and likes to play mind games. See, he's already got you wondering why he shook your friends hand and not yours.
He's probably one of those weirdo's that gaslights people. You know, keeps doing and saying things to a person to make them feel crazy.
Kinda like he's already done to you. He's got you thinking he might think you're a weirdo when you know you aren't.

He sounds like he's playing games to mess with your head.
Don't even look at him again.

Game's over. Alright - everyone outta the pool!

Sounds to me like he's into the whole head-game thing. If he likes you then he should just talk to you and put in the effort. Way more effective than applying the head-game approach.

I got no time for this. If he’s not confident or if he’s not into me I get it. Just if I’m not into someone I’d have no reason to be weird toward them I’d just be friendly.

I agree, some people are time wasters.

[Asker]

what do you think happened based on what I said?

[OfMiceandMen]

I think he was trying to make you jealous by interacting with the other girls at the event and paying more attention to them. Like I said... head games.

Let me ask you a question you like him?

[Asker]

I think I did. Maybe not now that he’s acted like that.
After we introduced ourselves he kept blanking me out but then said hey to me a couple times at the gym.
