They ignore you because they like you???

Question - (14 March 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 15 March 2011)

Say you showed a lot of interest in someone for a whole year, but they often ignored you when you tried to get their attention. So the next year you ignore them back and stare straight past them like what they did to you. But when they send a nice message you reply with a friendly one too/show interest you stare back, but you ignore them next day. Last day of school made eye contact til you walked out.

New school year after a 2 month holiday you won't pass on a paper for them, just keep your head down. You won't look at them directly, just the space next to them. They send you an anonymous rose for Valentine's Day. You reply "Ohh okay, thanks for that" when they inbox you confessing it's from them. The next day you stare at them in class but they ignore it. This person known for being shy and won't pay you attention.

If this person pulled you aside one day and apologised for ignoring you in the past and explained that they ignored you because they liked you and was shy about it, what would your reaction be? Would you think they are worth another chance?

Also, what do you think is going on with this guy?

GeeGee255 agony auntDid he send you the rose or did you send it to him?

If you sent it to him and he still hasn't asked you out or even tried to talk to you more at school then I would give up on him.

If he sent it to you, then he probably does like you and is just unsure how you feel about him because of how shy you have been acting. If that is the case, then go ahead and give him a little more encouragment and see what happens.

dottie.X is verified as being by the original poster of the question

dottie.X agony auntNo, I was thinking of doing that but I don't know if I have enough confidence to, especially since we do not talk to each other (plus his ignoring me puts me off). I thought that the way I treated him when he showed he liked me and even since then (ignoring him) may be the reason why he acts like this now, what with not being able to look at me, not passing on paper etc. I thought apologizing and saying why I did that could clear up the misunderstanding. Even if he doesn't like me now (which I don't think he does after how he acts), at least he might treat me normally. Do you think I should do that? What do you think I should I say?

GeeGee255 agony auntDid he pull you aside to confess that? And would you like him if he does like you?

Then yes, I'd give them another chance. But that's it, if he continues to play games, or makes you do everything for more than the first date, then move on life is too short to put up with that crap.
