thoreau_lover Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 So I've been hanging out/seeing this guy. We get along great- same interests, same values, etc. He texts me a lot, we have great conversations, and right now it's finals week and he's still texting me at night (my guy friends were like "I would never text a girl I didn't like during finals week" lol). He asks lots of questions about me and remembers everything I say. Anyway, one thing I've noticed with this guy, however, is that during conversation- regardless of who is speaking- he will not look me in the eyes. Sometimes, I'll not look at him (reading a book, looking at phone etc.) and when I look up, I see him staring at me and then he immediately looks away. I think he's an introverted person, but I don't think he is shy or has a severe lack of confidence. Do you think he likes me but is intimidated by me? Do you think he doesn't want to give off the impression that he likes me romantically but simply likes me as a friend? What do you think?
Glitters Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Watch him interacting with other people.That would tell you a lot.
Michelle ma Belle Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 It's a sign of shyness. He likes you.
SwordofFlame Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Does he look down or somewhere off in the distance? If it's the former, I would say shy, the latter I would say disinterested. Unless of course, that is what he does with everyone else.
Author thoreau_lover Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 He looks away, not down, but I don't think he's disinterested because he actively asks questions, remembers everything I say, texts me first, etc. Is he just intimidated? I think with other people, he maintains eye contact.

I think with other people, he maintains eye contact. No intimidated people tend to look down I would think. I'm going to guess that that's how he talks to everyone. Are you saying when he's sitting across from you? He doesn't look you in the eyes? That is strange. Has he ever had to interview for a job?
ravfour4 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Since everything else is going great, he's probably just shy or uncomfortable around you for some reason (maybe he finds you super attractive, maybe he's super self conscious, maybe he's seeing someone else - who knows) That being said, a girl I dated for 3 months did this and eventually I found out she wasn't all that interested. As we got closer she became more comfortable with direct eye contact though, during the break up she avoided all eye contact, I had to say "hey! Look at Me when you're talking" Edited December 11, 2015 by ravfour4
GemmaUK Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 If he looks away when you are talking he is disinterested. If he looks away when he is talking it means he is thinking so nothing to be concerned over.
Author thoreau_lover Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 He looks away for BOTH lol, when he's talking OR when I'm talking. He just won't look me in the eye period. I'll look down, look up, catch him staring at me, and he'll look away immediately.
