Guy's Behavior

Gym crush odd behaviour?

I was introduced to this guy by a mutual friend, we all go to the same gym. He seemed friendly when we were briefly introduced outside the gym but whenever I tried to say hello, he would look away and avoid eye contact at all cost. I got tired of this behaviour and I now ignore him and look away too. I walk right by him without making eye contact or saying hello. I’m not trying to be childish, I just feel timid and I’d feel awkward if he snubbed me again, I guess I’m on defence mode.

Now it seems my total disregard is bothering him and he’s trying hard to make eye contact with me. He also tries his best to workout at the same vicinities of the gym where I’m at. He’s even changed his workout schedule to match mine.

I’m very confused at this point. I do like him, but at this point I feel he was rude to me. He has never said hello first, I always had to be the first to do so. I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts. Why would a grown man behave this way?
