what can i do/say?

[bubbles4920]

we go out with a group of neighbours down the pub, out for meals, round to each others houses but one of the husbands never speaks to me really. if we make eye contact he quickly looks away. hes not shy, hes a chief exec of a major company. ive wondered all sorts, does he dislike me, fancy me , is he scared of me. i dont know what to talk to him about really, not on my own, ive only ever spoken to him within another's conversation. i know he likes to go out with the lads and probably prefers to talk to men. any tips on how i can break the ice, what i can talk about? i tried talking about football when my hubby was chatting to him about it but he never responded to me.

I would mention this to his wife. Ask if you have offended him in some way, as he never seems to want to speak to you. She will say no, she will confront him about it, and he will have to grow up and start making an effort!

If he doesn't want to talk why bother?

Perhaps his wife is the jealous type and he daren't talk to women in her presence.

However I think another of your suggestions is the answer - he fancies you like hell.

I`m inclined to think that he fancies you to. take it as a compliment & just carry on talking to everyone else. Unless ofcourse you fancy him also!!!!!

You have him tongue-tied with your beauty. Possibly he's infatuated with you, and has the hots for you. ;-)

On the OTHER hand........!!

Seriously - why don't you ask the guy yourself? If you get a spare moment with him, say that you've noticed he doesn't seem to want to speak to you, and ask him if there's any particular reason for it? Maybe he's just shy around you if you're a confident, out-going type, or that he finds your conversation either rivetting, or overwhelming! Good luck with him! x
