I know this ex-colleague of mine but not really that close to him. I think i have a crush on him but i dont really know if he likes me at all.
He's confident, witty and a workaholic.
However, he gets shy/uncomfortable, when i ask him simple personal questions for eg: Do you go for swimming. I think he has a problem of talking about himself to new people or just not that friendly.
So one day, i gave him some sweets via his secretary (i didnt really know him that well at that time in office) and he was quite startled and stared at me and waited for me to say something when i bumped at him at the doorway.
He had those puppy eyes..but didnt say word!.
I pretended not to appear interested in him becos i was too shy.!
Later, i sent him email and was able to chat with him about work..and he responded quite well except that when i asked him for lunch, he just disappeared and dint reply yes/no.,,which was kind of weird. Cos he could have said no.
I managed to obtain his cellphone and he replies all my sms except the ones on personal questions.
I called him once but he was so weird and acted like a total stranger to me.
So how do i even talk to him tru the phone as a friend, if he's that shy since i dont see him anymore in office?what should i say to him
How do i get him to even talk to me like a normal friend?
Would appreciate your advice.

Call him up, or send him an email, letting him know that you feel like he doesn't want to be your friend because he doesn't like to talk about
personal things. There is a chance that he is shy to talk to you because he has feelings for you. People say that if guys are mean to girls, that means that they like them, but there are some guys that if they are sweet and shy towards you and not towards others, they might like you. Don't be scared to tell him that you want to be friends with him, it'll probably break the ice. He also might just be a very shy person in generaland not open up much to people. Also, when you email him, or whatever way you contact him just ask how his day was and thats it, dont send a whole big thing to him. Guys arent always chatative at first. Good Luck. Hope I helped!
