Search Results: intimidating

I recently got acquainted with a colleague from another division - he the softwares engineering and is stereotypically geeky and a bit socially awkward. I know he finds me attractive but I can’t tell if he’s actually interested.

I reached out to him for a chat on the pretext of getting advice and he readily gave me his time but was quite nervous during the convo. Had some trouble looking me in the eye, stuttered / shook a bit while taking to me and left abruptly after the convo ended. He also looked me up on LinkedIn before and after the conversation.

I was going doing my best to be friendly but don’t think it really worked. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I offended me. Is he intimidated by me or does he actually like me?

I’m 6’0” barefoot and I prefer tall-very tall guys. I’ve dated a guy that was shorter than me because I loved his personality. He’s 5’7” so he’s about 6 inches shorter than me. The tallest guy I’ve dated is 6’3 but it didn’t work out. Height wasn’t the reason. I’ve been rejected my tall guys because they find me intimidating and prefer average and petite women. I envy seeing a tall man with a tiny, petite/average height woman. (Ex. 6’6” man and 5’3 woman) but love is love. I wish I was shorter because shorter women have a better time finding dates and relationships. They’re so lucky.

28F, just leaning towards bad luck. I’m very introverted & not the friendliest but I don’t think I’m intimidating. I’m told I’m cute/attractive, it’s not like I’m a runway model yet guys just never approach me. I’m told guys look at me but they never do anything about it & I’m too shy. I know there’s nothing wrong with me, most women seem to get guys so easily. That’s why I’ve been on and off the apps since I was maybe 18, getting matches has never been a prob. Convo always fades, ghosting, lack of interest (goes both ways) & some guys who are crazy. I’ve tried a lot of them, usually I stick with Hinge. It’s always a pattern of the guys I want who don’t want me back & the ones that want me I don’t like back. For maybe the past year I’ve become less and less interested, I reply to matches/msgs every couple of days? Even when I was more engaged it still led to the same pattern of no success. A few people have said maybe I’m asexual (haven’t had sex or masturbated in years), assume I’m gay or I’m unsure of what I want. Maybe they’re all wrong & simply I haven’t found the right person? I dated someone for a few months back when I was 23 & after dealing with someone I felt like I settled for, I decided I’d rather be alone vs be with someone I am not crazy for. I’m kind of at the point where I’m apathetic & I just feel too old to be bothered.
