I started a couple college courses about two weeks and noticed that this guy from class keeps locking eyes with me. He never smiles, just looks at me, so I don't know if he's attracted to me or maybe he thinks I'm a weirdo since this keeps happening to us. He hasn't approached me, so Im starting to feel awkward and trying to avoid eye contact altogether, even when I can sense him looking.

 

Should I approach him to see what his deal is? What do I even say? The only thing stopping me is the embarrassment of being wrong and maybe he thought I was staring at him, so now he's looking at me.

Smile next time you catch him looking at you and see what his reaction is.

Ok, I ran into him in the hall. He started to approach me and said hi and asked me something. I answered him, but he said he didn't want to bother me(??) and walked into class. When I walked into class, he was staring at me. It was super frustrating that he didn't initiate convo further when I assured he wasn't bothering me. Should I take that as a cue thats he's not interested and to leave him alone?

He is interested but he is a coward. Do you really want to try to be involved with a guy that can't hardly talk to you....hasn't got any confidence to save his life?

 

If you want to pursue, you will have to do all the making the moves right down to kissing, holding hands, etc. This guy has a bad case of anxiety.

Yeah, pretty much this.

 

He could just be a bit anxious about the initial approach though, and maybe he would open up a bit more once you become acquainted with each other. Introverted people are typically this way.

 

I consider myself an outgoing introvert, but cold-approaching Women in real life is something I'm still not very good at.

I'm apprehensive to approach him since I've been turned down before. Is there anything the I can do besides smiling that can put him at ease?

Look approachable, smile.

Okay. So we finally got the chance to talk. We met up for something related to school. In the middle of the convo, he mentions meeting up with some girl about something related to what we were talking about. He said they were talking about interests and this was one of the topics. It was a little awkward because I couldn't fully understand why he was mentioning this. Was he trying to tell me that he's not interested?

He is either not interested or very awkward in expressing his interest. I'm not sure you want either. At that point he had every chance to extend the conversation or come up with an excuse to see you again.

I'm with Smackie. I know your dream guy can't be someone too scared to talk to you or ask you out. So just be careful what you wish for here unless you like really helpless guys.

I guess I'm going to chalk it up to lack of interest. What's up with all the staring?

He's interested and awkward and lacks courage. Stick your tongue out at him next time he stares at you.

Sounds like a creep tbh, doesn't smile? I think most people's default reaction when I make eye contact (if you see the person every day or every other day) is to smile at least a little. Who knows what he is thinking?? Lol I wouldn't approach him unless he approached you.
