So I have this good-looking next door neighbor, and yesterday my mum and I went to give him back a DVD we borrowed of his because he is going away. Well, I stood there with her and she was speaking to him, but he did not even look me in the eye once! It was almost as if he was avoiding my gaze. I felt very stupid about this. Even if my mum was speaking about me he would not look in my direction. I'm not really sure what I could've done to offend him. I've liked him for quite a while but only seen him a few times.
In case it matters I'm 17 and he's 25.
Am I looking into things too much, or is there a reason he was doing this to me? I felt really embarassed and unwanted being there.

if you want to get him to talk, next time you go over with your mom, or if you're taking a walk around the block and he is outside, try to catch his eye. if he sees a person walking outside, he is likely to look up real quick. wave, and if he waves back ask him how he's doing. if you get a conversation going, dont try to make it hours long because he might think you're desperate. act cool and you should be the one to end the conversation, not him.

Maybe he just wasn't paying attention to you like was too busy talking to your mom or just didn't care to pay attention to you because you're much younger than him. Sometimes older people do that to teenagers, it's so annoying and ignorant. I'm 20 but people always think I'm a lot younger because I look like I am so I get ignored a lot!
