I have worked in a department store for about 2 years. There is this guy who works there in another department. Never really talked to him, just seen him around. We have mutual friends and whatnot.

Normally when a guy is attracted to me it is obvious. They either make eyes with me, smile at me, try to find ways to talk to me/be around me....or they do the total opposite and get awkward, nervous and shy. Even if the guy never ends up talking to me (I understand it is a hard thing to just go up to someone you don't know), I will at the very least spot them staring at me or frequently glancing etc.

To get to the point, the guy I work with has NEVER displayed ANY signs of being remotely attracted to me. He never looks at me, he has never tried to talk to me, when we walk past each other he doesn't look at me and will walk in another direction. I mean, he shows every signs of not even noticing I am there. And he isn't some shy guy who is awkward around girls either. He is outgoing. He simply showed no interest in me which I was fine with.

Well he randomly requested me on facebook. He started to message me and was saying how he thought I was pretty, how he always noticed me and I was cute etc. I was like "WTF?!?!" If he really was into me, why would he never look at me? Why would he walk away from me during times where we were alone in the same area, where he could have easily tried to talk to me or even smile at me? It is just something I am REALLY confused about.

I have always been told by guys that if a guy is interested, you will catch him staring at you and he will always try to be around you in one way or another. Even if he never actually has the guts to talk. But I have never heard of a case where a guy acts like he doesn't even know you're there, but actually likes you. Can someone explain this to me???

(And again I would understand if I were dealing with a socially awkward person but he is an outgoing friendly guy with many female friends)

OP:

I do not know what is going on in his mind.

You will have to talk to him about this after work.

That means do not accept his facebook friend request.

Talk to him in person.

Maybe, he wants to keep work professional? Maybe, he doesn't really like you? Maybe you should just ask him?

Just because he is outgoing other wise doesn't mean he isn't shy around women he likes.

Guys can do strange things and be very unpredictable around girls that they like.

Maybe he wants to stay away from office gossip.

FYI to update, I have no desire to ask him anything in person about it. I only came here to get a guys perspective about this. To see why a guy would show no interest in a girl they claim to be interested in. I always thought I knew how to read men and the signs of interest were predictable but this threw me off.

Only some men are predictable.

Some guys move slow, yep some do. In person he wasnt going to open up. Start on social media, Maybe get to know him there, If he's interested he will then approach you. If not, stay away.
