Can a guy really like you, but never talk to you?

There is this guy that I like. I’ve been told he likes me too, but I’m not convinced. We are both really shy. He stares at me a lot & when I see him he looks away really fast & pretends to be doing something else. When we pass each other in the hallway he looks down at the floor, messes with his hair, or he walks by really fast. If he is with his friends they always hit him or something & and he looks up at me, but looks away really fast. His friends I don’t even know are always staring at me or they whisper about me as I walk by. His one friend always does stuff like this. Today he walked past my table at lunch & as I looked up he made eye contact with me the whole time he walked by. He always looks back at me or starts talking to some other guys I don’t know when I walk by. I don’t even know him. The guy I like never talks to me though. Even when I have said stuff to him he looks at the ground and gives short quick responses. I always hear that if a guy likes you they will always try to talk to you and be by you. If I’m talking to one of his friends he stays off to the side & waits for me to leave before he comes over. He used to sit in front of me & he would always lean back to try & crack his back, but he would lean really far back that he almost hit my head with his. He would always lean on my desk & stuff like that. I noticed that he doesn’t do this stuff to the girl he sits in front of now. I always though that if he did like me he would start to talk to me by now. I mean we’ve had the same class since August and schools out in less than a month. He’s always doing stuff like this, but he won’t talk to me even if I talk to him. Can guys still like a girl even if they don’t talk to them? How can I show him that I do like him; since we’re both really shy?

well, (from a guy)
people show emotions in a weird way. Most likely, the way you describe it, He like you. And it sounds like a true love story. Maybe you shall go up to him and try to talk to him, if hes to shy to come up to. Before you go up to ask his friends if he likes you first. no one likes to look stupid in front of a cute guy. :D

As a guy who’s sort of been in this situation, I don’t recommend you have a friend ask for you. He may or may not have a crush on you, but chances are he won’t admit that to one of your friends, as if he feels weird enough around you, do you think he’ll feel more comfortable telling them that? If you’re interested in him, don’t ASK him. Just talk with him, or give him your phone number or something. :p

You should find out soon enough. It can’t go on forever. Eventually, you two will decide to talk to each other, or start becoming interested in someone else. Life is short, don’t waste it on somebody that can’t bring themselves to even talk to you. Lord, that could take years of your life, when you could be with the love of your life, instead of waiting around for him to just talk to you. Yeah, he could really like you or others could have teased him about you, and made it impossible to talk to you. Kids are so cruel to each other. Always wanting to sabotage things. Nature should take its course, though, if he really is interested. In the meantime, start looking around at other guys. That might force his hand and he might muster up enough nerve to make the big leap to talk to you-or not.
