There is a guy in my circle of friends who seems nice, I do not know him really well but everytime I come into the room or sit down with him and friends...he gets up and leaves. Not in a rude way....he just leaves. I am not having a big ego and thinking it is just because of me but others in the group have noticed it too. He is cute and always says hi but I am confused by this. I asked my mom and she did not know. Any ideas on why he might be doing this? Reply to this Question Share |

Hi Anonymous,
That is sort of strange. There could be lot of different reasons for that, too. The first couple things that came to mind were 1) that he likes you and kind of doesn't know what to do/how to act because he gets self concious or 2) he was offended by you in some way that you don't know and doesn't want to be around. Yes, I know that those are both pretty much opposites of each other, but I can't think of anything else that would warrant him wanting to leave.
Whatever the reason is and since you are bothered by it, I would suggest asking him as Yos recommended. Maybe when he leaves next time you could follow him. That would give you the opportunity to talk with him privately. If he walks into another room where there are people, just try to pull him aside.
Take care.

Are you sure this isn't just a coincidence? It's easy to imagine that he is trying to avoid you when actually he was just getting up to go, and it had nothing to do with you.
If this has only happened a couple of times then you should consider whether this might be what is happening. But if it keeps happening over and over, then maybe just ask him politely.
