He's paying me a lot more attention, making an effort to talk to me, which he never really did before. He keeps doing the long eye contact thing with me, and the way he looks at me. I just don't know. Help please? Reply to this Question

 I agree with sugarplum786. The man has no balls. You've obviously peeked his interest, but he lacks the courage. Just ignore him. Let him chase you.

 I think he is doing it, because now he KNOWS you like him and he likes the attention.

 I would say he was not interesting in you previously, because he had another girl in mind. But having been turned down by her, he is now looking for a "consolation prize". If you haven't changed anything in your look (haircut, dress, make up etc.) it may be an explanation... but without more informations, it's just a plausible explanation.Another one could be that when you first asked him for a relationship, he wasn't ready to that, but recently, he has felt a sudden rising of his testosterone level, that has led him to see you less as a "noisy little girl" and more as a "pretty nice chick". When ones brain is floating in a sea of hormones, it changes everything, even the way we are looking around us. And coming out of the blue, as says John Paul Young: Love is in the air (cf: http://youtu.be/NNC0kIzM1Fo )

 Hi, just treat the attention with indifference. He either likes you and has to grow some balls and ask you out or he is leading you on. Either way, you should sit tight and move on as he did say no and the balls are in his court. Just don't hold out because you might get disappointed.

It's possible he said no because he was nervous. Now he likes knowing that you like him but doesn't know how to accept your request after the fact.
Maybe you should ask him why he's been doing these things?
