We shy guys can be real d-bags sometimes .

I "play games" with women, but just because revealing my feelings seems like a really scary thing to do. You should keep us posted at any rate, I'm curious if anything will happen.

Nothing yet. I think he's on vacation or something. How convenient .

Saw him yesterday. He went out of his way to walk by me, twice, and just stared at me...no smile, no "hi", no nothing. I went to say "hi" but he looked away and kept walking! Arg!

What a weirdo!!

At this point you should just revert to 6th grade and yell, "Take a picture! It lasts longer!!"

Ha! I should definitely do that .

I get the sense he's trying to "act cool". Like, "Yeah, she's over there, so what". But he's still staring at me. He's not avoiding me. So incredibly frustrating.

So we FINALLY talked. Actually I initiated the conversation. He was responsive to me and was grinning from ear to ear, but he didn't make much eye contact (surprise) and the overall feeling was just...strained?

I mean, shouldn't it be EASIER than this? It's been how many months of this staring contest, and when I talked to him it went ok...but he just seems really guarded to me. Like, not exactly warm.

He's aloof - like law-enforcement, mildly cocky aloof. Know the type?

IDK... playing it cool maybe?

Either way, you struck up a convo.. maybe he was nervous?

I like people who know how to communicate. You struck up the convo, and now things feel... strained...

I really don't have patience for games, but you gave him a chance. I've known the shyest most socially awkward guys to make their attempt at the girl they really are interested in.

Let him meet you half way.

I think he was nervous, but I prefer a guy who is nervous and sweet, as opposed to nervous and covering it up with aloofness and a cocky attitude. It's that guardedness that is really getting to me. I feel like he likes me but he's reluctant to open himself up to me.

And without that, everything stays so superficial.

Perhaps this might help you some. You've got a shy introvert on your hands.

Stava I normally test as an INFJ personality type. It is not a common male personality type. An aware and mature male INFJ can make for a fantastic companion once you are in his safe zone.

I was very guarded when I was younger and need to watch myself that I dont go into guarded mode when things go a bit awry.

Suggest doing a little reading on this type. It fits me almost perfectly except I cant recall important dates to save my own life...

This girl I'm seeing also seems to be very shy. That, or disinterested. I can't even tell. It can be extremely frustrating, and this is coming from someone who considers himself to be both shy and introverted. There's only a certain level of tolerance I have before I have to move on to something more fulfilling. If the person can't eventually break out of their shell over the course of significant time spent together, sadly enough, it may be a lost cause.
