Search Results: does he like me relationship shy

This girl and I have been friends for about 1 year, we met in English class and I never really thought anything about her. Primarily because our relationship was built on teasing and banter, nothing much, and she teased my other friend too, so I didn't think anything of it. This year, we have 1 class together and she was very happy to see me, and she even became more "teasy" than last year. She would only touch me, hug me out of the blue, and poke me in the belly and the nose. Problem is, I told her who I liked and she stopped teasing me completely, became really shy to me, but was still very touchy. I did begin ton like her, and she said she felt the same. Thing is, she completely ignores me out of the blue and then the next day she would poke me and at least say "hi" to me. But she talks to my other friend and every time he asks her how we're doing he told me she says I never talk to her. My main reason is because it seems like she tries to make me jealous on purpose and it gets me upset.

I feel like I'm being strung along because of the games and purposely making me jealous.. or is this just a test to see if my feelings are genuine?

She doesn't seem to care for me, and it all started when I began to ignore her. I liked her, and she found out, and she told me she liked me too. However, she began to play games with me: most commonly hot and cold. I got sick of it and ignored her for a week and a half straight. She began to notice it, and when she did she tried getting my attention. Most commonly when I was walking by her, she'd look at me and her eyes looked really watery and big. But I didn't really care because I was still angry with her. Anyways, my friend asked how our relationship was and she just gave him a stare then looked away. But the weird thing is she still acts quite outgoing, however around me she's really shy, and then she tries looking at me when I'm not looking.

Point is, even with all this ignoring does she still care about me? Even if she doesn't seem to show it?

I find that ever since moving to America from Canada a lot is different. The one I'd like to bring up is girls. I find that since moving from Canada, some girls put like 0% of the effort in into starting a relationship. I am currently going through that now, and the worse part is she is my friend (probably going to be a was because I hate it when people ignore me for no reason) and is pretty extroverted and I'm pretty introverted and shy. When I told girls I liked them in Canada, if they liked me back we both put 50/50 into starting a relationship; it wasn't one sided. But since moving to the U. S. A. and telling one of my friends I liked her (she told me she liked me back) she ignores me telling my friends she expects me to start a conversation. My friends tell me it's the man who does ALL the work but I find that really stupid. If a woman wants a man, and the man wants the woman, shouldn't the woman have to work just as hard as the man?

I find woman who want the man to do all the work aren't worth any time. Even if you feel the same way back, I don't really care. It should be 50/50 or something around there (60/40).

Some of us tend to speak out wherever we are... getting them silent takes an effort.
Some of us take some time to start and speak out, initially being shy and closing up.

Which of both do you tend to be, and does your guy love you for it? Or accept it?
Or do you have the impression it puts your relationship under pressure?
