Search Results: acting shy towards a girl

I have known this guy for a for awhile now. I'm not sure exactly what he thinks of me? but we have always had this awkward "friendship". He has never totally felt comfortable with me like my other friends. I'm not sure if that's because he likes me? or he knows I had a little crush on him? I'm pretty sure he has no idea that I did (I could be wrong).



Anyways, he's a little more open to me than before. But there's still that awkwardness. Sometimes he would barely talk/look at me. Other times he would walk away or leave the room so that we weren't alone. And when we are alone, he gets quiet or awkward (sometimes he would ask a random question but mostly quiet). Also, I feel like he talks at me (as in says something general to the people in the room) not to me sometimes. He hardly ever makes 1 on 1 conversation wit me.

But then he would sometimes ask me why I'm quiet? So basically, I wanna know why he's so weird sometimes. Like what he's deal? am I just making him uncomfortable because I'm not loud like my other friends? I mean I'm a shy person, but with him I become even more shy. I just wish I knew what he was thinking. Especially his thoughts about me?

A few things I thought I would add:

1) Sometimes he doesn't look at me at all (even when talking)

2) Sometimes he does look at me but only if he really has to (I think) eg I asked him a question? or vice versa

3) Sometimes I catch him looking at me (it mite just be bad timing or my imagination) but he either looks away quickly or smiles and get all embarrassed. Like eg when we had to dance and we both looked at each at the same time. OR if were out with friends and I happen to look up & see him (that happens vice versa as well)

4) And 1 night when we were out his friend (who I don't really like) started acting really weird & flirty towards me. And all of a sudden my crush was like "i don't want to make things award, but I think he likes you". Would he say that if he liked me?

- 2 hrs later he texted asking if he's friend can have my Facebook, but it was my call. I msg back saying yes, but only as friends and to not give my number out (I didn't want to be mean or anything).

5) He didn't get any of my other friends presents for there birthday. And he got me all these random little things (more joke presents really). Could that have been cause my birthday was at the beach? and he felt slack turning up with nothing? and btw he didn't even give it 2 me that day. He asked my friend (there work buddies) to give it to me from him. When I sms him the next day saying thanks, and I guess I should get you a present now lol :P

He replied back saying, that's cool all I want is dinner with friends. Does that mean he's trying to say he only sees me as a friend?

Anyways guys what do you think? what's his deal? should I give up?
