Feeling really quite pissed off at the moment, why would a person show interest and suddenly go cold?
Now the back story, towards the end of January I went clubbing for a friend's birthday. We ended up at this small student union place. While we were there, I noticed a guy looking over at me, we exchanged looks but nothing came of it. Now, I'm not the most confident person in the world and would never normally approach a person for fear of rejection which is only magnified when you're surrounded by a group of your friends. Another problem was the fact that I thought, and still do, think that he is out of my league couldn’t understand why he would be interested in me.
So anyway, we had a great time at the club and I didn’t really think much of the guy and got on with life. A few friends of mine had heard of the student spot and wanted to check it out, I decided to come along since I had enjoyed it so much the first time. Over the next couple of weeks it became a regular thing, I would see the same guy occasionally and he would look over at my direction and when I looked over at him, he would quickly turn his head away. During this time I was also dating somebody for a month before realising I wasn’t attracted him and broke it off.
About a month later, I went back to the club and saw him again. This time we maintained eye contact for a while, was planning on approaching him but I had to leave early. Now, I know how ridiculous it sounds reading it back. Seeing the same guy for nearly three months and never speaking to him but unfortunately it seems to have happened somehow. I actually had arguments with my friends about the best way to approach him but since we both hang around in fairly big groups it would seem a little odd if either of us made a move. But since our last encounter, I finally had built up the idea in my mind that was interested in me and was anticipating bumping into him again.
So it was decided, I went back to the club a week later and he was there, staring right at me. At this point, my heart was thumping away and my hands were shaking. Yeah it wasn’t pretty, I decided to separate myself from the group and sit on my own, hoping he would join me. So I sat there with my phone out, looked over in his direction and he stood there looking a little uneasy. Eventually my friend came along and sat next to me, a few minutes the guy had left and I was gutted.
Now, this club posts pictures up on Facebook every week and I realised that the only way I was going to get anywhere was to contact him and since doing it face to face wasn’t working I decided to send him a friend request along with a nice message along the lines of ‘Hey, I keep seeing you around but I never got the chance to say hello.
’ That was two weeks ago and I ‘ve heard nothing since…Now surely if he was interested in me and a little shy, he would appreciate the fact that I put myself out there like that? It doesn’t seem to make any sense to be honest and it’s been getting me down. I was drawn to him the moment we locked eyes but I was too scared to approach him and I finally make a move, he ignores me.
(I'm a guy BTW)
