Guys, I thought he liked me but when we were in a group he avoided looking at me?

I'm confused as last time the signs were there. He seemed nervous made an effort to talk.

This time he only talked and looked at the other two people I was with.

[Cormac995]

The fact you said he acted nervous makes this clear as day. Yes he does like you and he wasn't looking at you because he's nervous. He's worried you'll think he's staring at you and being a creep that's what makes me snap away whenever I look at a woman and she sees me. Most of the time it's easiest to just keep your eyes down and away which is probably what he's doing. Don't be discouraged he definitely likes you or he wouldn't be so self conscious.

[Lalalove11]

He was self conscious last time. This time I'm not so sure, he just avoided eye contact maybe looked at me once or twice

[Cormac995]

Trust me that's nerves.

[Lalalove11]

Okay.. I took it really negatively 😅basically he said I should play music at a festival and he would join. I never returned to get back to in. And this time he didn't seem to acknowledge much or it felt casual. Oops.

[Cormac995]

He might think you rejected him in that case, make it clear you're interested if you are because if he interpreted that as you turning him down that's actually a far more likely possibility. The good news is it if that is the case it's just a miscommunication and can quickly be cleared up with a little honesty in a private conversation.

[Lalalove11]

Ah shit I feel bad now. I don't know. I feel like leaving it

[Cormac995]

If you like him and feel bad I actually recommend the opposite of what you're saying. If you explain it was a miscommunication, and you really are interested, he''ll be relieved and you'll probably make his whole month. I encourage you to at least try. Worst case scenario he says no and then he's grateful because he got hit on and you make his whole week because now, he feels desirable, and you'll boost his confidence. Best case scenario you two start dating. Don't back out yet.

[spartan55]

Did you talk to him?

[Lalalove11]

Not really. He usually talks to all of us but this time felt deliberate

[spartan55]

He probably wants you to contribute to the conversation instead of doing nothing. You putting it all on him is ridiculous. Put in some effort ffs.

[Lalalove11]

I did last time. This time it was noticeable..
