Search Results: getting noticed by guys

This guy at work is very sociable but not interested in getting to know me at all. He likes to have a chat with pretty much every girl in the office except me and when we discuss work related things he looks like he wants to escape the conversation asap and makes self deprecating jokes (which I am ok with I don’t have to be his friend).

However when I see him in a group (for instance when we talk or when I pass him and his friends by) and don’t notice him right away he acts really loud and smiley with me and positions himself so that he gets all my attention or stares really intensely.

Why does he crave my attention if he doesn’t even consider me interesting?

The guy is Muay Thai class A pro-fighter at the local town's sports centre (Muay Thai oriented). I'm a beginner class B.

I don't know him properly, but I've heard some things about him (mostly good) and I have also looked him up at the fighter's page (he seems to be around my age or slightly older). He's really good at Muay Thai (thai box) and has already won a title and other fight matches as well.

I think I might already have a crush on him. :|

We don't always meet (me being a beginner, him a pro) but when we do he always seems to be looking at me, he comments on the way I do stuff (not always the right way, I have much to learn), he's not rude but he's honest, he's also quite playful, he's noticed it makes me very nervous when he (as an occasional trainer) watches me so we kind of joke about that. 😅 It's hard to explain 😅 My first visit there, he actually let me borrow his expensive skipping rope. He's also always ready to say hi (one time I forgot my stuff there so I went back to this sports centre, I didn't know he's gonna be there and seemed so surprised by seeing me dolled up a little bit in my more normal clothes).

I guess I can't really expect more because we don't meet that often. :/ But when we were getting warmed up, I was supposed to pull him over, he of course did let me win (I guess he sees himself as a gentleman, he has that reputation there, girls said he doesn't punch as hard when sparred against a girl). In that moment, when we touched and held each other's arms, I thought I might have felt something but I brushed it off.

I haven't been with anyone for a long time now so I might sound like a little girl again to you.

I will really appreciate anyone who reads this wall of text of mine and shares what they think.

Hopeless romantic 💕
