Why would Male coworker ignore me?

[Anonymous]

A male coworker seems to converse with both girls and guys in my office, but he just ignores me. When we do converse about a project he is to the point, but otherwise he avoids me and doesn’t put in much effort into a conversation. Same if we go to a conference, he’ll barely make any effort until usually we go after work drinks and he’ll sit near me.

I am well liked and usually get on with both males and females pretty easy, it’s just a bit weird to be ignored day in day out, when I don’t know why. It’s not like we have fallen out or anything.

He may be hiding his feels for you. But that's maybe a romantic spin on this. Chances are that he isn't treating you differently but maybe you "feel" he is.

I don't know the dynamic

Thanks yeah I don’t know. We went to a conference today and he literally spoke to every employee from our company except me. I do feel like he tries to distance, but I find it hard because I’m usually quite friendly to my colleagues.

You should ask him and IF you're interested tell him in a kind friendly way. If he DOES have romantic feelings toward you then you can try to eek them out of him.

He may feel awkward around you because he’s attracted to you. Work relationships can be tricky.
