I've got an interesting topic that should apply to many people.

It involves the good old "who says hi first".

 

For example. There is this girl I really liked. I have ran into her about 20+

at school. Every time she says hi to me and my name. Only then do I say

hi to her. Later on she seemed to feel bad that I never said hi first.

 

The psychology behind this is interesting.

 

If one person continues to say hi first every time this would

mean that the other person is trying not to acknowledge the other person.

 

If you always have to say hi first that means the other person was just going

to keep walking and ignore you.

 

Even Seinfeld even had an episode about saying hi. It can get really old fast

if you see somebody every day. In my case it was only a few times

a month at most.

you think too much. if you know or like someone, you should just say "hi". don't play games and count how many times who's gone first, esp. if it's someone you particularly like.

so if you liked her, why did you never say hi first?

 

i always thought it was just cause some people, think you will say hi, but you do not cause you think they will say hi. so then to spite you they do not say hi, but you are doing the exact thing by not saying hi.
