Someone thinks about you everyday but doesn't make any effort to be with you?


If it's just a thought with no effort behind it, doesn't that just mean that they enjoy fantasizing?

Some people fear rejection so they never act on their attractions.

What does it mean when someone thinks about you everyday but doesn't make any effort to be with you?


... he's a coward or lazy. Either way, no one I would want.

Silly question

It could mean a number of things. As I'm sure this thread will show.

Similar to the "What will women think about my car" thread, it shows how dumb people can be. These kind of things might give clues about the person, but to make strong inferences is ridiculous.


My one of many possibilities

It means they're attracted to the person, but realize they would be a bad match,

The emotional cost of rejection from someone out of their league is too much. But I agree it would be better if they could get used to that kind of rejection more.

It means you make a move and see if they reciprocate. If their inaction persists, move on.

It means there is something stopping them from actually doing it.

Could be self confidence about a variety of things.

Fear of rejection.
In a relationship.
Lazy.
Lack of social skills.
Unmotivated.
Lying to keep you on the hook.

Could be anything.

How do you know they think about you every day? Did they tell you?
