What does this guy want from me?

[prsawyer]

I recently met a guy and he is outgoing and I am shy. We work in the same building but we do not work together. At first we talked by teasing and joking around. Then he started avoiding me whenever I would try to talk to him so I left hm alone. I got the sign he did not want to be friends etc. Then he began to be super nice started talking to me again. Now he shows signs of liking me starring at me, moved in closer to my personal space, makes an attempt to be where I am ... wants to be around me, smiles and winks at me frequently even tries to talk to me whenever we pass by in the hallway.Also he treats me different from the other girls. Example he will joke / tease and even talk with everyone else when there is a crowd of people around. He does not joke/ tease me he acts real serious around me. However; we both do not talk to each other when we are around people we know in a crowd. My problem is I am so shy and afraid of getting hurt. There are times I can talk and flirt with him. I also sometimes become nervous can not speak to him. The other day we had lunch together alone and we both were very comfortable and relaxed. I came out of my shell and opened up to him which he really liked. Do you think he is just being friendly or he likes me. I feel like he does know I like him because I look at him ever time I walk by. He seems to be very patient but I know how he will wait because he might just move on. What does he want from me? Is he wanting me to approach him and start a conversation? Or is he giving me space by taking things slow?

since you said HE is the outgoing one, he kinda seems like a big flirt. Doesn't mean he defintely doesn't like you but if he is outgoing then he is most likely confident enough to ask you out.

Only if a guy is shy and insecure will he not make a move first, even then, a shy guy will make hints to see what you'll say-- instead of straight forwardly asking you. Shy guys will also make another excuse to hang out, so it doesn't appear like a date just incase you don't like him. I've DATED A LOT OF SHY guys and this guy does not sound that way

He sounds like me hahaha sorry but take you're time with this. Don't rush into anything.

If you got invited out to lunch alone I think that's the best indicator that he likes you. If he's making the effort to get to know what you like to do, and finding common ground to talk with you about I'd say he's interested.

He's doing all the work at the moment, if you're into him let him do what he's doing - if you don't you know how to shut him down pretty quick no doubt.

Nope, he doesn't like you. I'm sorry hon, but if he's an outgoing guy who's interested in you, he's going to be a lot more clear. He won't drop hints. He would have straight up asked you to hang out/ go on a date by now.

If you want to try anyway, then make a move and ask him to hang out. Probably would do you a lot of good. You'll get out of your shell a bit and you'll probably get your answer as to whether or not he likes you.
