Is he trying to manipulate me into liking him? Or does he really like me?
Question Posted Wednesday April 6 2022, 5:18 am
I had a crush on this guy from school. Met him in 12th tuts. From first day of tutions he started flirting with me. He would wink at me text me flirty emoticons. Then he brokeup after few days. After breakup with his girlfriend he started staring at me. I was staring at him once making it obvious. He would stare at me and smile a lot. One day he was staring and smiling I reacted negatively. Since then he stopped staring. He would stare at me without smiling whenever I would dress up nice. Whenever his guy friend would compliment me. One day I entered the class and his friend said " Go sit beside him (my crush) the same day my crush sat next to my friend who is a girl to make me jealous. He would reduce texting me. Then when he got to know I felt jealous he would stare at me from far away with sad eyes. One day he was sitting next bench and was staring at me till I look at him but I never looked that way. His friends started teasing him with my name. Then Lockdown happened. I would text him long messages he would reply with 1 emoticon. He would be very cold in text I would type friend in it. I friendzoned him on text even called him bro. He would comment on my pictures rarely. He would always observe me what I was posting in stories etc. I even saw him in dating apps. After lockdown I shifted my from college to his. I had avoided him whenever I used to go to his college for document work. He would always act mad. Then when college happened offline to remove the awkwardness I said hi he gave me handshake. He again stared at me but this time with sad tired eyes. Next day he came upstairs and started roaming around corridoor. 0He is now trying to get my attention. Why is he now not talking to me and avoiding me. Did he ever like me or is he just playing games? He has dated 3 girls in the past and our parents are friends. Now he can stay days without texting me even I can. I had unfollowed him in between after few days he sent me req.
There's an old saying that actions speak louder than words. And his actions are saying, loudly and clearly, that he just isn't as interested in you , as you are in him.
Aside from some staring at you in class and occasionally smiling at you, he has really never said or done anything to reach out or , to make any meaningful contact.
So I wouldn't waste any more time even thinking about him.
Indeed, you described paying so much attention to him in class,and with so much detail, I wonder if you even heard what the teacher was saying? You got an "A+" in looking at and thinking about him, but what grade would you give yourself in the actual class you took?
In any case, its high time for you to move on and forget about this boy, who apparently has no interest, or even the capacity to have a conversation with you. His request, though you didn't say what he wanted, I assume it was to "friend" you, means very little. You are interested in him, but he has shown you nothing to be interested in.
