Naomi32 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 I like a guywho i think is shy (he does that whole eye contact from afar but not up close, hanging around me but not talking to me) anyways, I was a party last night and saw him standing alone, he saw me from afar and smiled so i went over and tried to start a conversation and he seemed so uncomfortble and gave me these short answers and no eye contact at all except a quick glance in my direction with a little smile and than he said "hold that thought" and walked away to get a drink...to which i felt rejected and immediately before he could turn around ,ran away to the other side of the room...is this the way a shy guy acts or is just not interested in me...Help1
Guest Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Who ran to the other side of the room, you or him? If it was you then you didn't give him much of a chance to talk to you. "Hold that thought," means wait here I'll be right back. Shy guys aren't the most social animals so you have to cut them so slack on social skills. If it was him, you might want to check out some other guy.
bumbaclot Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Ya looks like he's just shy. If he wasn't interested, he'd probably not initiate any contact at all. Find some topics that he is interested in and talk about that - it'd be easier.
salmagundi Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 shy guys are always at their worst in group social situations, like parties. They are at their best one on one. So, if you really are interested, maybe just bite the bullet, invite him for coffee and talk to him one on one. That way maybe he'll warm up and you can see what he's really like. But, yeah, he will probably require some initiative on your part. Especially since you fleeing on him when he clearly wanted to still talk to you will be taken as rejection. He probably thinks he botched things with you and you took off because you arent interested. So maybe show him you are.
