Guys do you completely ignore girls sometimes even when you really like them?

From what you're saying I think he's pretty shy.
Try to start talking to him.

Lol, talk about lack of confidence. You won't get anywhere with that approach

I know But how awkward would it be if he really didnt like me and then I'd run a huge risk of seeing him again after being rejected.

What would you want her to do to get things started, being a shy guy and all? Keep in mind the girl is really shy too. Would you prefer to start with a smile rather than words to seem friendlier?

Thats what I'm thinking as well, so why even bother giving me little signs.

The thing is though he started this with me. Like I said I always thought he was cute so might have looked the odd time, but I never had major feelings or anything so dont think it was obsessive. It wasnt untill the 'intense stare' that I was like whoa and the feelings developed so why would he do this if he wasnt willing to approach? Every time I try and smile at him I get scared and think he wont smile back so do like a stupid mid smirk that he probably doesnt even notice. Should I just try smiling and if he ignores it take that as a sign that he indeed does not like me and just likes the attention? You would smile back at a girl you like right?

Take smaller steps. It would be seriously weird if you'd ask him out straight away. See if you can somehow talk to him more/spend more time with him. You will see by his reaction whether he likes you or not without running the risk of being rejected.

A smile would ease me up, and I would get the signal that its ok to talk...And would start fighting with my shyness to initiate a conversation...
Saying 'Hi' with an amiable approach would make my day, seeing I really open up once I start talking.. Its the initial approach where the shyness kicks in, but past that stage its easy to talk...

I think you should give him a smile next time and wait for him to start talking, if he smiles back but does not start a conversation in 2-3 meetings than I think you should start the conversation... It won't be easy, seeing both of you are shy..

Because he is attracted to you, he has conflicting emotions, positive towards you but loyalty to his current gf.

Of course you should continue smiling at him. He'll get the signal.

Really though...if he still tries to avoid you...then that's obviously a sign that he either really likes you although being shy or that he's just finding you creepier and creepier.

Oh I see. If you were the guy in this situation how would you react if the girl ended up making a move?

Thanks for the advice! I think I'll start with a smile. Then the next time start saying hi. Then hopefully he makes the next move. I have seen first hand how a smile can turn situations around, I've just been too afraid to even do that.
