Why does he only say hi to me when we're alone?

There's this guy that I really like that I'm pretty friendly with. We talk in the halls, I asked him for his cell # & he gave it to me, he shows off when we talk and tries to make me laugh. I sometimes catch him staring at me.

However, whenever we pass in the hallways he ignores me! That is, unless we are both alone. What's up with this? I'm 16 and he's 17 and is normally pretty outgoing. I don't think he has had a lot of girl experience though. Sometimes I feel like he doesn't even like me cause he never starts a conversation with me (except like once maybe twice).

Usually when we see each other in the hallways he'll start talking to a friend or look at his water or won't even look in my general direction. I don't GET IT. I'm pretty sure he stares at me from far away. He usually stares at me when he knows I'm not looking.

Talk to him about it. If you want to be more than friends, bring it to his attention. Ask why he is shy around his friends but not when you're alone. Personally I'm a shy guy and I don't want a lot of attention towards myself when I'm around my friends with my girlfriend. I'd rather be alone with her, away from the judgmental stares and mockery. Usually we are pretty loud together, meaning that we sing and dance together to whatever is playing on the radio or we create our own music. We'd rather be on our own, so we can be ourselves. When we're around our friends, we feel restricted and judged. My suggestion to you is to get your guy alone and talk it out.

Haha, that's the classic teenage guy response. I remember it LOL. He's probably afraid to talk to you. I'd talk to him about it, when your alone just say something like Dude ... are you mad at me? Why do you ignore me when your with your friends?

sounds like he likes you but he is not sure that you like him back. it's OK if he doesn't approach you much. be the first one to approach him. do it a few times. talk to him more. eventually he'll realize that you like him too.
