I'm friends with this guy that I'm into. Last night, he was saying stuff that made me think that he was into me also, but I didn't really act on anything he was saying. Then towards the end of the night, his attitude changed and it seemed like he didn't care that I was around him. Then today I saw him, and he was acting the same way! I don't know what I could've done to creep him out and not want to be around me anymore. What is going on?
if he showed interest in you, and you didn't seem to respond well, it could be a couple of things. maybe he felt rejected and backed off or maybe he's worried that he creeped you out, and doesn't want to undermine your friendship what did he do to express interest? maybe you could show some interest in return
Sounds to me that he does have an interest in you - but when the ball was in your court, so to speak, you stated yourself, that you were non responsive. Every action causes a reaction, you know. If you are truly interested in this guy, act like it. It serves no purpose to pretend you have no interest in someone that you actually are interested in. He backed off the first evening because you did not demonstrate any interest in him; after you said he had demonstrated an interest in you. Think about it - put yourself in his shoes. I have always been one to act the way I truly feel towards another. I do not understand the purpose for pretending to have no interest in a guy that you are interested in; particularly when you know by his actions/words that he's putting himself out there as though he's interested in you. That's the way it works: girl & guy meet each other; they get acquainted; they can each tell if the other one likes them; so the guy then goes out on a limb and makes the first step forward to getting closer; then the natural thing that should occur if the female is interested in the guy is, she takes the next step closer to him - that signals to the male that his further advances will not be rejected, so he continues forward. But what happened with you & this guy - he went out on the limb and took a step towards you - and instead of responding naturally, you were aloof and stepped backward, as it were. So, the message you conveyed to him is, don't come any closer - I'm not interested. I'd hate to be a guy - the rejection would kill me; the poor fellow. If you retreated because you are very shy and/or inexperienced, you can fix it. Tell him! If you're lucky and he's courageous enough to take another try at advancing towards you; and if you really like this guy - don't retreat - tell him you like him, but that you are shy. He will not think badly of you - and you won't be rejecting him. There's nothing worse than "the one that got away" just because you didn't know how to handle it. Okay? You can do it!
