Search Results: quiet men

I had a huge crush on a guy for several years. I’ll refer to him as “A”. We used to flirt like crazy and I could tell he was into me. It was all in the intense eye contact and the body language. He also displayed jealousy if I was “flirting” with someone else.

A couple of years ago, I met another man to who I am now engaged. The first time “A” saw me with my partner, he completely ignored us and presumed he was just a friend. When he found out we were together, he constantly gave him dirty looks and was icily polite if he had to talk to him.

When A found out I was moving in with him and getting married to him, he became quiet and moody in his interaction with me. I saw him today and he barely said a word. I asked him if he was ok, and he said “yes, everything’s perfect”. He said it quietly gave me a fake smile.

Is he upset by the fact that I’m with someone else? Is he obsessed/in love with me?

Do actors subconsciously mirror their character? (SOMETIMES)?

And if so, is it also morphed into OTHER previous characters, they’d resemble in their personal lives?

IF this occurs, is it based PURELY on the:

likability of their character?

OR

the habitual constancy of enacting their given character? Regardless of the character quirks: positive or negative

My logic here is:

these people are LITERALLY pretending to be someone with a bunch of other people they have never met until that time. A whole season would mean a few months of practicing aka redoing lines & takes

OVER & OVER again…

not only so (this said muscle memory)

but they’re seeing the faces of the new characters and instead of building friendships with those other actors in real time- they are essentially watching those characters (played by the actors) unfold before them as if it were a real engagement/ friendship/encounter.

So if the series is long & many seasons go by-

wouldn’t a single actor who’s learning another actor express (not themselves but the wishes & behaviors of the director), & pretending for so long…

Adopt the traits, assigned to that actor, and make it almost 2nd nature?

maybe not a whole belief/ moral

but the quirks/behavioral traits?

For example:

if their character is loud- they will become loud in their everyday lives.

if their character is loud but they are quiet in person, they may become more balanced between loud & quiet in their personal lives?

The range cannot be so well predicted-

the just HOW much they will be of their character/ just how loud they would be, for example.

& was Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron man, fitted for his persona? Or did RDJ truly adopt traits & the personal display of Iron Man?

Do actors typically choose roles/ characters that fit more with their own character traits/ beliefs?

Ideally, I’d love to hear what Morgan Freeman would say, BUT

I’m curious & would be extremely humbled/ grateful to read your liberated opinions.

28F, I can confidently say I have never been approached by a guy I’d want to date. I’m told I’m cute and attractive but guys never approach me, on the rare occasions they do it’s not the guys you’d want. Most women seem to get bfs easily, I use the dating apps and lack of matches are never the problem it just doesn’t work out. Over the years of using them on and off, I’ve become more and more disinterested. Before I get the “why don’t you approach men yourself” speech, I’ve tried bumble and didn’t change my luck. I met one guy but he annoyed me a lot, I feel like im unlucky in love. I already consider myself 30 & I told myself if it didn’t happen by 26 it’s not meant to be. Yes I’m very quiet and not the friendliest but that’s not a dealbreaker, look at all those high maintenance women that are taken. Any women around my age relate?

2 months ago, we went out to dinner and talked for 3 hrs on first meet up. We were in contact via Instagram messages. Then we talked on the phone to buy tickets & see the Spider-Man movie. The day before movie I asked if he could stop sending those IG video reels politely, it was a bit overboard. On day of movie, he said good morning and I replied with a wave emoji. He normally would continue the conversation via Instagram but doesn’t message again until he said he was waiting at the theater. I was not as bubbly as I was on first meet up , I was very quiet (not against him). He was annoying me during the movie, he’s the type to laugh and make noises when something exciting came on. He nudged me during the movie and asked if I was ok because I was quiet and I said yes. At the end I told him thanks, he said you’re welcome and he said drive safe. When I spoke with him on phone day before movie, he told me that he talked about me with his friends but after movie he sent a message just now saying that he wasn’t really feeling it from me and it’s not going to work for him. I was more upset that he beat me to rejecting him, I would have done it if he didn’t. Flash fwd to a month ago, he sends me a dm with an inside joke, I just left him on read again. He continues to follow me on social media but unmatched with me from the dating app we met through, I unfollowed him from IG.
