Guys lose interest easily right, just like in my case…

?

There was this college guy… well, a few mths ago before college term started, there were alot of events we were in together and we werent exactly friends yet. he’d observe me quite abit, when he thinks i’m not looking, and if i looked at him, he would quickly look away or like ignore me when he passes me, turn round to look at me when he’s leaving a place i’m at. like he would notice me and observe for a while but when he psases me he doesnt speak to me. we had a few staring incidents..and once i was alone,he came and sat quietly behind me when a friend asked me to get something, he immediately rushed to help me with the chairs, all without saying a word.

well, he’s quite sociable and in high profile clubs in school, extroverted. but our conversations are pathetic, he was very quiet and subdued though we have spoken on 2-3 occasions..after the event, we met twice, but very briefly.one long conversation we had, he was holding constant eye contact, another he walked past me but ignored me (which he always does).

anyway.. we’ve never had any interaction whatsoever the past 2 mths (after i wished him on his birthday on fb) and have been busy with school and things. i saw him today and realised i still have feelings. but wouldn’t he have already lost interest? was he even interested to begin with…=/

Why do girls waste time over analyzing everything?

What creates interest for a man?

a girl who
- smiles at him
- laughs at his jokes
- asks his opinion on things
- asks for his help with things (though not being clueless or helpless)
- is open and vulnerable (and not so anxious that her face looks worried or unhappy)
- talks to him and is interested in him (nothing worse than an insecure girl who spends all her time wondering about herself when she should be talking to him and creating an easy, friendly conversation)

I assume he was/is interested, but people are awkward. The post shows that you have some confusion and social awkwardness, if he’s a college student involved in several high-profile clubs, he too is likely very socially awkward.

When you have two socially awkward people that are trying to connect, it’s like watching two drunk chimpanzees trying to Fk a wet football… awkward and fumbling.

If it’s a passing interest, let it be and see if he approaches you. If you are strongly interested, take a deep breath, walk up to him, and ask if he would want to have lunch with you.

The first few meetings will likely be filled with long drawn out silences where both of you will be thinking “Oh noes! They are quiet, they must not be interested… awwww but I LIKE them!”. Unless he goes out of his way to avoid you after you express interest, silence (especially if he is looking at you) indicates awkward interest.

yeah im usually confused. i’d be less so when guys are more obvious in their interest ;) social awkwardness.. well, everyone has it. hmm but why would he be socially awkward..he’s suposed to be “popular” and “sociable”.

i dont think he will approach me or anything. we’ve rarely see each other in person. and though we have each other on facebook… i somehow prefer a more human interaction. hmmm awkward interest, ive never thought of that. well, usually he is quiet ard me anyways. ha. our situation is abit.. difficult.
