Guys why do you stare at a girl from faraway but ignore her when you are near her?

omg i can totally relate!!!! he 100% likes u GUARANTEED!!!! (i know cuz i do the same sometimes) but he is reely scared to approach u. and the reason he doesnt say hi to u wen its just u and him is because he is scared that u will either ignore him or look at him funny for saying hi.. its just a nervous thing that shy guys have.. being a shy person i know exactly how he feels.. if u approach him the first couple times.. trust me.. he will be scared outta his mind but he will love every second of it!! and after he sees that u have some sort of interest in him he will lighten up and start saying hi to u as a start.. then hell be like a reely good friend.. but thats not all he wants.. he wants to go out with you.. im guessing.. prolley because he sees you hangin out with guys that he feels dont treat u right. and he wants to treat u better. and trust me HE WILL!!!! so just listen to me and give him a chance because u never know what might happen.. u might end up liking him.. and he will DEFINATELY like you and be loyal to you forever.. (dont ignore him because hes shy, being shy is a good thing because i know for me being shy means im listening and that means hes always listening to you if u need someone to talk to)

In general, we like to look... but we don't like to get caught looking. That's probably a reaction to how we are usually treated when we get caught looking. Thus, we stare when we've got some distance for protection and look away while up close.

In specific, that may or may not be why this particular guy pretends not to see you when you're close to him. Maybe that's it, or maybe he's just shy. Try making eye contact with him and smiling. If he smiles back, he's probably interested. If he continues to blow you off, forget about him.

Lmao, I do the exact same thing. I think I do it because I wouldn't want the girl to notice that I'm paying special attention to her, despite the fact that indeed I am. Or, I become utterly shy when I'm near her, and, to avoid talking to her, to avoid a possibly awkward conversation, I entirely ignore her. I guess I don't want to give that "hint" that I'm eying her.

Maybe the guy has a fancy for you, but is too shy/afraid/timid to approach you directly?

well it seem like he's a shy guy too.

so the next time you catch him staring at you, why dont you look back at him and smile =D like a mysterious smile like you know what he's been doing. if he smiles back, then you know you're set to go talk to him.

if he quickly turns away.. then he still hasn't picked up his nerves yet. either way, you have to be the one to make the first move.

but remember, the first step is to make him notice that you notice what he's doing. i know that sounded confusing but i think you know what i mean =)

say hi when u with him alone so next time hes sees u close hes forced and ur fotced to say hi bc after u say hi and stuff ur onna find out his name and stuff about him

he deffintly likes u i can tell u that he too shy to go up to u and feels likes he gonna embaraass himsel if hes goes up to u

I'll bet he is just really shy too. Chances are he is too scared to approach you. My guess is he definitely likes you though.

He. Likes. You.

That usually means he likes you
