Search Results: girl glancing at me

My crush had a „stranger“ crush on me for YEARS after briefly talking once in class and used to stare or take glances repeatedly when he saw me and listened to my conversations with others. One day he saw me interacting with a guy who tried to strike up a conversation trying to find out where I’m coming from, possibly flirting with me (due to my ethnic background). I was polite but short since I was busy that day and don’t like talking to random strangers. After that, I found out my crush looked up a few of my friends on LinkedIn. The next time I saw him he didn’t look at me like he usually did and from then on he barely looked at me anymore. A few months later he deleted the playlist he made for me a year ago.

Why did his interest in me drop all of a sudden to zero? I’m pretty sure he knew from the very beginning that I’m not the most outgoing person so seeing me being shy with strangers shouldn’t come as a surprise to him. How is being shy with strangers such a big deal for someone who has admired me for YEARS?

His friend told me that he was really into me for years. He would sneak glances when I was distracted but never found the courage to come up and talk to me. Months later he met a girl in a lecture in college (which I also attended) that started flirting with him and he confidently flirted back. From then on he started dressing nicer to this lecture. Why didn’t he ever put in the effort for me if he had a crush on me for years?

Crush found out I like him through friends of friends and knows that I am a hopeless romantic. Now I see him talking to his friend while sneaking glances at me from afar every time I see him and sometimes staring at me on purpose. I feel like he is contemplating how to approach me which I find surprising since he always likes at least 3 girls at a time and doesn’t seem to be a relationship Kind of guy. Also he has a (girl) friend he recently went on vacation with alone (they both posted it on their insta) and he goes to puppy yoga with. I feel like he flirts with any girl that pays him a tiny bit of attention and doesn’t really know what he wants. Given these circumstances do you think he would approach me, a hopeless romantic, if he only wanted something casual with me? Apart from relationships with girls he seems like a serious and decent kind of guy

He sits near me when other seats or rooms are available, tries to keep conversation going and keeps checking me out and remembers every little boring detail I tell him about myself, keeps glancing at me when I’m talking to other coworkers or asks what we were talking about. One day he seemed annoyed by me and mentioned his girlfriend as if he tried to shut me up so he could focus on work which was very out of his character.

Why is he curious and tries to be near me if he is not attracted? Do guys act this way if they just have platonic interest in a girl?
