Move mountains to be with you? I'm talking about someone who doesn't know me yet, just a stranger I see now and then. He will glance over, but never do anything beyond that. I'm assuming he's not interested. So if a guy really likes you, something should've happened by now. It's been almost a year in the making.

Nope. But, if he's interested, it sounds like all he needs to do is walk over and say hello.

He could be shy, or think you're taken already. Some guys assume that. In some cases, guys who aren't shy, more confident, and / or have nothing to lose, will be the ones to be forward and make interest in a date, or sex, openly known. But some guys, are too shy. The same reason some women don't approach, or ask out. Too shy, to a fault. Being very shy hinders tons of people when it comes to dating. Because that shyness is misread as many negative things, so it wards people who could have potentially be interested off. Usually, unless the shy person is lucky enough to meet a more aggressive suitor, then shyness has to be overcome and said person has to start making some moves, lest they never be noticed by, or involved with, anyone decent.

But like you, yeah. If they wanna talk alot, give compliments, or flirt, but never ask for a date or get-together, I assume also they must not have been interested in that. And are just bored, or having fun bantering. 1 guy I know was an employee at a beauty supply I went. He had no problem coming up, talking, asking questions about myself, and saying repeatedly that I was "beautiful." So that guy clearly was far from shy. But he never asked for a date, or number. So I figured he didn't care for either, or he'd have made that known too. He just thought I was unusual looking.

No, because he might be wondering the same thing about you.

"If she really liked me, wouldn't she have talked to me or something by now? Maybe I just remind her of someone she knows or something. I should go talk to her. Nah. I'll just make myself look like an idiot."

Seriously. If you want him, maybe you need to do more than glance. If not, then stop looking at him all the time.

No, it's not true, at least not always or even close to it. There are plenty of men who post here about how much they like a person but can't find it in themselves to approach them.

Dear OP, I know exactly what you mean. I think it's 50/50. He could either be very shy and/or not know if you are available, or it could be he's semi-interested but is more comfortable being single. In my case I'm trading flirts and glances with someone I know has been a widower for a few years. (his wife died young).

"move mountains to be with you"...seriously???...someone he doesn't even know?
sorry, this is just hallmark sentiment and is not realistic...too many fishies in the sea to go to battle with a shark for a certain one...

That adage is for the beginning stages of dating - he's already met you and is interested.

So now go give him a reason to meet you .

How can he like you if he's never met you?

Exactly!

Why doesn't he pick me up on a white horse?
