[utterly_confused]

[color=#BF00BF]This guy(age 17)was rly shy n genuinely happy whenever I complimented him subtlely(he was never like this with other girls). He never initiated the conversation but always smiled, made eye contact, had a ‘soft look’ when I talked to him and stared when I talked 2 other people. Most people say he probably liked me. But when I asked him whether he wanted to hang out one day he said OK softly..but then he said that actually he might be busy on that particular day(friends asked him too hang) and he’d get back to me(but he didn’t yet). 😕

The next few days after that he’s been acting more aloof and serious around me(not as smiley and ‘soft’ as before), but he does go back to his old self from time to time(he says it’s because he’s been rly tired lately). But when another guy openly touches my arm and hair he literally STARES in the background(really serious stare, not looking away). Why is he like this? Why did he not want to say yes to me straightaway? Also, did he lose interest?

I’m guessing he’s about 17, too, and he probably doesn’t have a lot of experience with girls. He was put off by your coming on so strong (I know you think that asking him to hang out is no big deal, but for him, it was.) — especially because he’s naturally shy — so he backed away from you. My advice is to practice flirting with him. What that does is give him the message that you’re interested in him as more than a friend, and it gives him the opportunity to ask you out.

But if he doesn’t, don’t push. Not everyone is going to be as into you as you are into them — and at your age, not every guy is going to be ready to date! 😉

I hope that helps. Let me know how things go, and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url]. 😀
