He seems to be confident in himself and he's not at all soft-spoken, he just doesn't speak much.Sometimes he's been kind and considerate to me - putting his hand on the small of my back to lead, allowing me to pay him back when my credit card wasn't taking, making his "well-wishes" for whatever reason more personal than he does for anyone else (if he wishes anyone else a "good [whatever]" - normally I think nothing of that except he's always smiling a lot and being more talkative than he is to anyone else), etc. Just small, kind gestures. Then there's things like the way he acts when he makes a small, meaningless mistake in front of me... he just tries to kind of nervously laugh about it and blame it on a coworker. ;)But other times I feel odd... for example, when I talk to his boss or one of his older coworkers he always seems nearby but like he's really trying to ignore what is going on. His brows knit and he purses his lips...no, I don't know if its because of me but I just feel like it is. Sometimes when I talk to one of his coworkers I see him just glancing at us while we talk almost like he wants to listen or say something, but he doesn't. Sometimes he'll say things to me and he IS being kind and has a nice tone to his voice but he just doesn't look me in the eye. He looks more toward my chest (no not AT my chest =P I'd know what that means, he's just not really looking at *anything*.. its just almost blank).He seems to look me in the face more and talk to me more when there's less people around, but if his coworkers (Especially one of the older guys or his boss) are around then he seems to pull back more.I don't know what I have done to provoke this odd behavior... I am shy and sometimes I don't make eye contact. I know one time he did look me in the eye when he was handing me something and it was just us in the room... it was very direct, but I looked down quickly.Have I hurt him? Does he dislike me? I would think he hated me if it weren't for the fact that his behavior alternates from warm to cold like every few times I see him.
