Guys, Is he shy or uninterested?

[SockFace13]

I’ve been seeing this cute guy around at work.
He works in a different department to me but I see him on breaks, he sits with other people from his department. He is normally deeply immersed in his phone. I’ve noticed a few times that he will gaze at me and when I look at him, he will smile at me while holding eye contact. I’m always the one to look away first (because I am super shy).

A couple of weeks ago, we were walking towards each other in the corridor. He did his usual gaze and smiled at me, then I said “hiya, you alright?” As I passed by. He smiled even more and looked down. A week or so after that, I walked past him while he was eating his lunch and I looked down at him and smiled.

Since then, I’ve noticed we don’t really have those interactions anymore. When I see him, he usually looks in every other direction apart from mine, even when he walks right past me. I have seen him occasionally glance at me when he is in the distance.
We did have another occurrence when we walked towards each other. He smiled and said hiya very quietly and walked off. Today, I was stood behind him at the water fountain waiting for my turn. He turned around, said “sorry” really quickly and walked off. I think he may have left real quick but I was too shy to look at him.

Please help me because I’m starting to feel like I’m repulsive and that he is uninterested.

Shy

Uninterested

next time when you say hiya to him then remove this you alright from that hiya.
and start doing hiya more
if he replies then add some compliment like your hair is good

Invite him to lunch or whatever. He's definitely interested. He may not be asking you for fear that it's inappropriate.

I haven’t got the guts to do it, besides, it really seems to me like he isn’t interested

I have an update…. we ended up chatting for a little while today, he was saying he will have to come and see where I work. He was also maintaining eye contact and smiling a lot
