Would a confident, sociable guy get very nervous around a girl? Does it mean attraction or feelings for her?

[Anonymous]

I know this somewhat high-profile guy who’s friends with very attractive influencer type girls who gets nervous around me. He struggles to make eye contract and looks down when he sees me, would look at me when he thinks I’m not looking and also sometimes do awkward hand movements when he sees me (like he doesn’t know what to do with himself).

Is he thrown off his game? Or am I just so different than what he’s used to?

Attraction only

Likely feelings involved

Men are confident around woman they just want to fuck. Men who get nervous almost always have feelings mixed in.

Thanks for this. And this would apply to guys who have very attractive platonic female friends too?

Do you guys get desensitised to a women’s appearance if you’re no stranger to attractive women?

[Cormac995]

I don't know If I would use the term de sensitized, I think it depends on the guy and the shallower they are the faster it happens if that makes sense? Also, yea it would probably apply to them too, but the truth is 90% of the time even if they say they're a platonic friend odd are really high if you offered to date, he'd jump at the chance. there's a reason a girl starts getting a lot more attention from her guy friends after a breakup. 90% of the time when a guy is in the friendzone he's trying to get out of it which is part of why guys don't like their partners having guy friends. We know what they want from you because we're guys.

Feelings probably. They can make people act very different.

Chances are there it could be attraction

[Asker]

So just attraction without feelings can make a guy that nervous?

[serious]

Yes it can

[Asker]

I see. Does it mean the deeper the attraction the more nervous he will be?

As opposed to an ‘ah she’s quite pretty’ and still being able to talk to her normally

[serious]

Yes if the attraction is deeper then he will be more nervous for sure.
