Sami143 answered Thursday May 7 2009, 12:16 pm: It depends, some guys do this on purpous because they know that it bugs you. Some will do it for attention. And some just dont want to talk about their feelings. If you told him that it bugs you he is either being a jerk just to bother you or he is just going through something and doesnt want to talk about it. Try talking to him to see whats the deal. If he doesnt want to talk try textin him to see whats up and tell him that your here if he needs anything. Hope i helped =] [ Sami143's advice column | Ask Sami143 A Question ]
Darby answered Wednesday May 6 2009, 11:17 pm: Some guys just don't want to talk about things. When something goes wrong or when they're thinking about things, they like to be left alone from time to time. He is probably too embarrassed to depend on you for support or open up and tell you how he really feels. Make sure you give him time and space. Sometimes it's best to let people come to you when they're ready to talk. He may be confused about whether or not he likes you. Or it might be other things. The next time you talk to him, ask him if everything's okay. And if he asks why, say that you asked because you hadn't heard from him in a few days. This will show that you care how he's doing without sounding pushy or clingy. If he doesn't want to talk, he's not going to. Trying to get him to will only make him further seclude himself.

Michele answered Wednesday May 6 2009, 9:08 am: They do that because it is awkward for them to tell you their real feelings. They are afraid that their real feelings will show if they have a conversation with you.
Perhaps he liked you more a week or so ago, and now his feelings have changed. But he gave you the impression that he liked you more, and you welcomed the attention. Maybe now his feelings have changed, but it is awkward to talk about. Think if the tables were turned, and you and a boy were close, but now you only wanted him as a friend. How would you act. Because you don't want to lead him on, or give him the impression that the relationship can ever be more than friendship, you may find it easier just to ignore the guy.
Let's face it, it is the easy way out.
If you just want to be friends, and want him to get over worrying about how you'll react to his suddend coldness towards you. The I suggest you just be friendly whenever you see him. Don't act like his coldness really matters at all to you, because you didn't want more than friendship in the first place.
Even is you did, you can't make anyone do or feel anything they don't want to. But friendships can turn into more. So remaining friends should be your goal. Then be patient. The more comfortable he is around you, the more less he will ignore you.
Hope this helps.
