Unhappy InTiMiDaTIon!

Hey all!

I just want to know what it means if a man is initimidated by a woman. Does it mean that he's interested in her but is afraid that she will not be interested in him?? I'm so confused! lol

There is this guy that I work with and I am in love with (but he doesn't know it) and I think that he's interested in me. However, one of our friends says that he is "intimidated" by me. What the hell?? We see eachother EVERY day and I'm always nice to him and smile at him. He flirts with me every so often and I always catch him checkin me out so I know that he's interested.

How can I make myself less intimidating??

If he flirts back and talks to you normally and you guys do get along well whn together then his not intimidated by you. Maybe your friends are just talking non sense LOL, or they mean his just too afraid to ask you out on a date so if you know his intersted and you are intested just ask him out to a casual date and see how things go.

To me, if a guy is intimidated then it means he freezes up when the girl talks to him and h do't know what to say, he seems awkward and tries to ran from the situation.

are you his boss? or at a higher level than him?

this could be intimidating. Also could cost you your job...

Just try to get to know him better, and maybe this intimidation could just be him getting nervous around you. But don't ever try to change who you are for a guy because he's intimidated! Unless you go around beating people up at work to get a raise!

There are times when I'll catch his eye and we'll just stare at eachother for what seems like a few mins but it's really a few seconds! Or he'll say he misses me when I come back from a long weekend or vk. I'm the one that gets nervous and intimidated and says "whatever, you didn't miss me" instead of just soaking it up! ugh

There are times when he walks by me, doesn't say hi and is looking at the ground or I notice he's looking all over the place avoiding eye contact. But THEN, if I do that to him he gets all in my face to say hi. He was talking to his friend when I walked by one time then they suddenly got quiet so asked why they got so quiet and he said "you make us nervous"

It's so confusing. I think we both give eachother mixed signals. We tease eachother. haha

No I'm not his boss. And, no I would NEVER change myself for a guy. I just don't see why he is intimidated. Maybe I give off the wrong vibes. I'm the easiest person to talk to. Besides that, he makes ME nervous! He talks to me and asks personal questions but I can't get up the nerve to ask him stuff. ?? It's like I'm 15 with a puppy love crush! lol

Who knows. We'll see what tomorrow brings! Thanks for the advice peeps!!
