How would you interpret this?

Today he was smiling, whilst i was having a fridnly slightly flirty chat with his friend. i saw from the corner of my eye, he was just looking at me and smiling.
why do you think he was doing that? i have two hunches…. either, he was smiling because he saw me smiling and laughing or he put his friend upto talking to me and was finding it amusing that he has an upper hand on me if you know what i mean.
i really dont understand him…. he was supposed to have ‘liked me’ but it was always like he was trying to harm me or didnt have best intentions. why was he looking and smiling? or maybe he just found the conversation funny

This could mean absolutely anything. Maybe he enjoyed the conversation, maybe he found it amusing, maybe he still has feelings and his acting. Who knows? I wouldn’t get too worked up over this unless he’s done something recently to suggest his feelings

Haha that’s ironic. I swear I’m the guy in this scenario. I dated a girl a little while ago and things went south. I was hurt by some things going on and admittedly didn’t act the most mature but she didn’t either. Next thing I know she’s telling me she wants me out of her life forever. Ever since I’ve felt like I have to walk on ice because we work together. Iv only wanted to talk to her again but everything has been misinterpreted by her as me doing her wrong.

Two examples are recently when she was having a playful argument on sports teams. I chimed in and ragged on her team to try and to be playful. She once knew my humor (we did date after all) so I didn’t think she’d take it the wrong way. She did though and, from what I was told, thought I was trying to attack her personally in an indirect way. This was far from the truth.

Second would be today and its basically exactly what you said. It bothered me a little to be completely ignored by her but I was smiling to act like it didn’t and because I want to act friendly. My only goal is to encourage her to return the attitude and maybe we can one day at least be able to talk again.

Anyways, i think it’s safe to infer that you have feelings for this guy also, right? Just relax and stop over analyzing something so simple as a smile. Don’t play games either, he may think you have just as much dislike towards him. Be friendly and be yourself. He’ll either reciprocate it, or he will be a ****. If the latter, just ignore it and move on. Holding grudges only tears us up on the inside, trust me.
