Is he just being a show off or does he like me?

Question - (25 October 2009) 7 Answers - (Newest, 12 November 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

This one guy I know is starting to confuse me. We are not very close, but I had a class with him last year and he wanted me to give him a random high five one time and seemed kind of mad when I talked to other guys. On the last day of school I went up and talked to him briefly and he seemed really surprised. This year I have a class with him and he keeps staring at me.

His stares are normally for at the very least a minute if not two. In addition to this, if I look anywhere remotely close to him he will look at me in the corner of his eye. When he stares, he looks straight into my eyes and holds eye contact.

He also balled out one of his friends for not holding the door open for me. His friend looked at him oddly and shrugged it off. Right after class, he held the door open for me even though I already had it opened. He doesn't do this for anyone that I have seen.

He also brags about himself a lot to his friends. The other day he moved over to an empty desk in the next row closer to me and looked at me, as if he was gauging my reaction. Then he goes and brags about how he is so talented at whatever to his friends on my side of the room, when he has plenty on the other side.

Lol he is so amusing when he brags! Honestly, the stuff he says makes me want to roll my eyes.

I apologize for this being so long, but give me some feedback on what you think.

Really? I always thought you had to know the person before making the move. Anyways, guess what? Today, I passed by the guy I was talking about from before in the hallway and he smiled at me! As usual, he also kept glancing back and forth at me during the classes we have together. I tried shunning him today, so I'll see what will happen when I acknowledge him tomorrow.

Thank you for all the feed back! I am most likely over thinking this entire thing, so I am glad I have more of a variety of answers.

As for the guy I was telling you about, he is not shy. He is outgoing and I'm more introverted. Is it odd that he prolongs eye contact?

As for him asking me out, you really need to know the person really well for that. I have only talked to him a few times and I'm pretty sure you don't ask someone out that you barely know. I know he had some trouble with this one girl he really liked and he got flat out rejected. Maybe he is being cautious in fear of rejection?

I highly doubt he is trouble, just overly cocky. :) Now with him showing off I'm getting a bit of mixed answers. Why would he show off to get my attention? Why is my attention significant? I think that he is hiding his feelings or has some type of interest in me, but should I really ignore him or pretend he doesn't exist?

I'll experiment a little bit and see if he starts acting any different with shunning him.

This boy is probley hiding his feelings towards you, when he acts a show-off this is him wanting to impress you. When you have classes with him just ignore him, pretend hes not even there. This will get him annoyed and he will start running to you.

Don't worry about it. It was an interesting story.

What I thought at first was that he doesn't look like a bad person. If he is what I think he is, he probably would have asked you out by now. Some of the things you said, I did when I was your age when I liked a girl. I just had silly crushes but never made a move. Although, the only thing I'm findind odd here is the eye contact part. He sounded like the shy type but he clearly isn't scared to look directly at you even if you're staring back at him.

So, he looks like trouble to me. I think he's probably showing off to get your attention but I don't think he really likes you.
