Search Results: reasons guys stare

He is 27 and I’m 30. We work together in a small team and have worked together for just over two years now. I believe we have a flirty relationship. He is nice to everyone and always jokes/has a laugh with everyone, so it would be difficult to know whether he was into me. Examples of his flirting include:

- We have a lot of eye contact. Sometimes I will catch him staring at me or the eye contact will be very prolonged. Haven’t noticed the pupil dilation at all.

- He does silly things just to get my attention. He will grab my hair clip, press something on my keyboard or touch my chair.

- On a night out, someone thought he was my husband for some reason, and he said “I should be so lucky”

- Outside of work he is very “huggy” but won’t touch me at work

- He laughs at silly things I do and calls me “daftie” occasionally

- I was stressing about an upcoming event because I was having my hair and makeup done. He asked me why I was having someone else do it and I said “because I want to look beautiful”, to which he said “why don’t you just do it yourself”

- sometimes I will see him look at my boobs

- he sometimes gets a little jealous I think. When another man gave me a lift into work, he called me a “wimp” and when I asked for help on something, he said “why don’t you get “other guy” to help you”

I had an acquaintance who I know finds me physically attractive. He would subtly stare and look my way when I’m around - this has been going on for half a year now. Good news is that we got recently acquainted and I believe he might be pass the attraction stage to crush phase?

we had a nice 1:1 catch-up where he displayed all the signs of attraction (very animated (way more than his usual self), quite the gentleman) and then he couldn’t stop smiling when he saw me around. Trying to spend more time w me / asking if I was going to joint Events

And then the weekend passed and when I was around him this week, he seemed on-edge, purposely passing by my side but walking really fast like swooshing pass me. His natural demeanour is cool call and collected so I obviously noticed

is this a sign he is not comfortable around me (for whatever reasons) or that he just does not know what to do with his feelings for me?

and if it’s because he doesn’t know what to do with feelings, what can I do to make it easier for both of us? I notice guys do get very uncomfortable around me and even though I am very certain they are at least physically attracted to me, it still makes me feel like an awkward person if someone is avoiding me.
