Search Results: he acts different around his friends

1.) He missed a meeting at school, and left. But after I teased him about it and we were joking around over text, he actually came back to hang out with me during the meeting!!! I was so shocked! I couldn't believe he came back!

2.) He constantly stared at me in the eyes when we were talking. We were having a deep conversation about his college aspirations and his opinions on different events and whatever. It kinda surprises me how much he just looked me in the eyes and not even bothered on looking at anyone or anything else.

3.) The entire time he talked to me, he was fidgeting. Like, he'd push himself lightly off the desk repreatedly or swing his arms back and forth. It was kind of distracting, but nevertheless he stared at me the entire time we were talking.

4.) When he's with his friends, he is really rowdy and likes to ag on their behavior, but when it's just me and him, he's calm, funny, and nice. Like, we can have deep, meaningful conversation when it's just us.

5.) I told him to fist bump me simultaneously with each hand (bc my other friend who I usually do that with wasn't there at the meeting), and every time I did the hand motions, he stared at my chest. It's not like I had cleavage hanging out or anything, but I was wearing a bit of a tight shirt and I have C-cup boobs that really are accentuated by the shirt... It was a little unnerving.

But, he knows that I like him because I've told him over two months ago. His response to that at he time was that he liked being single because it made things easier, and he still thought I was pretty cool. So, why does he still act like this around me?
