What's Up With This Guy?

[ireallydontknow]

There is a guy who I think is cute. We have never talked but we work at the same place. I get the feeling that he is very shy. Very. I've only seen him speak to one person at work and he gave a one-word answer. Then again, sometimes I see him talking on the phone. Maybe he has a gf?? He absolutely will not make eye contact with me but if by chance he does he immediately looks away, with no time for me to give a smile. So the first time I walked past him today he was looking at the newspaper and I looked at him and noticed he was watching me from the side of his eye. I could be wrong but that's the impression I got. Then a few hours later he was walking outside on his break, right as I got off work. He was walking towards the door, maybe a few yards away, as I walked out the door. Upon seeing that I was coming his way-the direction to my car-he suddenly stepped off the sidewalk and headed east instead of north. I'm beyond confused.

I know he was going to go inside but as soon as he saw me outside he heads in a completely different direction of where he was headed, acting like he had to go over THERE.

Okay, be honest (and I would really appreciate the point of view from a guy ), but what could be reasons for avoiding me so much? Sometimes I think he looks at me when I'm not at h-but maybe that's just wishful thinking. I havent noticed him avoiding others. What if I make him uncomfortable? Yesterday he avoided walking past me too but more subtle. He's not the classic cute so maybe he's not used to girls noticing him? Or is he super duper shy and thinks I'm cute? Or, could his whole not walking past me thing be him showing me he's not interested?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Strike up a conversation and see how he responds.

[askyourgran]

Or maybe he's gay?

[Mamyalynne]

They can still talk if they are, can't they?

[woofgang]

Maybe he feels like you are stalking him...

[whirlyhurly]

Surely, if he was interested, he would at least have acknowledged you and said Hi, or good morning.

[baza]

Maybe he travels on the other bus but you could say hello and see what happens from there.

There may be nothing "up" with him. He may simply not like you.

[Prudie]

Honest opinion is he's noticed you seem to be fixated on him and you're scaring him to death. He's not interested in you so leave him alone.

[Tilly2]

Lighten up, IRDK. He's not your man.

[jourdain2]

He's not interested and is feeling embarrassed by your attentions.

[ummmm]

Why don't you just say hello? I can't imagine not acknowledging a co worker.

[New Judge]

You would if you'd worked with some of the people I have, ummm! :-)

[Hypognosis]

Why has no-one yet chipped in with "maybe he's married"? I am genuinely surprised this was not the first suggestion.

[maggiebee]

He's not interested - move on.

[yogi-bear]

Interesting first post, irdk......what if he thinks that you might, potentially, be a bunny boiler?

///Or is he super duper shy and thinks I'm cute? Or, could his whole not walking past me thing be him showing me he's not interested? ///

He might think you have bad breath or B.O or just doesn't like you

Who knows?

If he is'nt married, why dont you just ask him? :-)
