Why did my crush start to avoid me?

Just a few weeks ago, my crush started to talk to me and joke with me rather than just stand awkwardly by. I took this as a good thing, but now all of a sudden he doesn't approach me anymore. He doesn't talk to me, and he doesn't stare anymore. If i feel his gaze and then look at him, he's just looking at something next to me or above my head. I caught him looking at something near me and he immediately turned away. What is up with him? I feel like if I try to approach him he will just aavoid me, or get bothered by me. I don't think he hates me, but I don't know why he's like this. Help?

    I think he still likes you, he just doesn't think you like him back. Try going up to him, it wouldn't hurt to try.

    Thanks for your answer on my question.

    My Crush Avoids Me

  • 6 years ago

    The guy may have suddenly realized that a relationship with you won't work and to save himself and you the pain, he made a silly decision all by himself to avoid you.

    Maybe he still likes you and doesn't know how to act around you?

    He may have seen you talking or hanging out with another guy and he got pissed?

    He met another girl he is interested in and he is confused about his feelings?

    He may have been laughed at for liking you?

    You're so awesome that you're making him fall head over heels for you and he thought he was losing his mind, so he wanted some space? XD lol

    His parents said no dating?

    You can always confront him. If you're too shy or for whatever reason, you can do it through text. A guy behind screen can be different.

    Hope this helps!

    A few probably options:

    1. He used to have some feelings, now he doesn't and he doesn't want to lead you on

    2. He likes you and is beginning to feel an incontinence between the way he feels/wants to acts, and the way he can actually act. For example, he might want to like kiss you, but he can't so he feels insecure and is trying to hide his feelings.

    3. He doesn't realize how much you liked talking to him. Maybe you didn't react to it (did you engage int he convo back? did you laugh? flirt back?) so maybe he just felt like it didn't make a difference

    4. Maybe it's just because he's a guy and does stuff and doesn't even know why he does it (very possible, actually)

    5. Maybe you don't start the conversation enough so he doesn't want to put all the effort on him?

    But often, if there is a change in behavior, something changed in his thinking.

    good luck girlie!

    Maybe he just doesn't want you to think he likes you! Guys do that, wheres one day they make eye contact so many times - then the next they pretend like they dont care!:/ i would

    • start a convo in class and see how he reacts

    • get a friend to bring you up in a convo and see how he reacts

    • ask him why he has been acting this way :p

    If you arent close with him, maybe stop giving him attention. Then, he might start staring at you again! Good luck! :)

    Maybe he was disappointed when you guys started talking together, did you joke back or conversate with him? If yes and he seemed to have interest when talking to you then maybe he thinks it's your turn to make a move. He probably doesn't want to seem so desperate and be the one doing all the approaching. I say you try talking to him first and see where it goes from there. Good luck!

    I am a 16 year old guy and I kind of did that with one of my old crushes. I would see her and avoid and ignore her to try to stop that uncontrollable smile.

    To be honest, he probably likes you still. However, he is just trying to conceal it and pretend he isn't interested...which is the opposite of what you're supposed to do. But hey I'm a guy and I do the same.

  • 7 years ago

    I did that to one of my old crushes because she started messing around with my friend so I backed off. Now I totally just don't talk to her. I kind of still liked her i just felt like I was bothering her everytime I said hi because she was always walking fast. So I stopped I don't think I regret it because there are more girls
