He won't look at me anymore? wtf?

I started a job about 2 months ago and developed a friendly coworker friendship with one of my coworkers. He is very shy and quiet but he seems very comfortable talking to me, as of lately telling me things about his family, how his parents met, etc. I enjoy going to work more and more everyday, just because of him. So you could say I have developed a crush. I'm careful not to show it though. I'm very friendly but I try not to cross the line into obvious flirting. If he asked me out I have to say I would say yes. The problem?

He won't look me in the eye anymore. Before he had no problem doing this! But now he starts most of our conversations when he is at his desk (we have cubicles right beside one another with "walls" in between) He used to come by my desk and just make random conversation. He has opened up more, but its usually over the "wall" where no eye contact is made. Yet if I get up or I'm within his eye shot on the the other side of the room, I glance up he is looking at me.

So I often catch him looking at me and than looking away rather quickly. The lack of eye contact bothers me and I don't understand why things changed. thoughts?

Oh I think this is real simple... if you have developed some level of crush, wouldnt it be reasonable to assume he may return your feelings?

I think what you are experienceing is his insecurities regarding his feelings for you. He may not have the confidence to approach you on this. It may not be smart for him to do so considering you work together.

People do alot of strange things when they are worried about being rejected or ridiculed (which can often happen in a office enviroment if things dont go well). I would try to get him away from work, make you intentions known, and he will follow suit.

He probably started liking you now and he's shy so he is afraid to look at you. When guys feel shy that they like a girl they try to act like they don't like her. Just like you said you're "careful not to show" that you like him. So that's what he's doing. I think you should ask him to go to lunch or something.

I think he is just feeling awakward to the fact, that he might have the guess who started to like him...Also what happens is most guys are egoistic, so they it is really hard to understand them and once they know that you like them or sumthing they start doing things to get ur attention...so I am thinking just let time go by and if u really can do this then do it..but I suggest u ignore him..for a while and see what happens.

this is easy im a guy at first he didnt care he wasnt talkin to you cause he liked you. Now he is staring and he likes you definitly. So now he is nervous so he looks away when you notice him checking you out. or he doesnt think your intrested in him and he is shy and is afraid of rejection. talk to him why dont you be like we should hang out sumtime, im sure stuff will get much better good luck

thats is different nnot strange nor scary different if he is shy then there is your answer maybe he thanks your pretty and enjoys looking at you.... but i never try to start relationships with work ......my saying is dotn crap were you eat meaning relationships pretty much are crap work is the supplier of food and well you see the connection

probably he is starting to have a crush on you too. give him sometime to have the courage to ask you out.

Sounds like either
A: he is scared to start a relationship with you because he fears that if it doesn't work out....things could get weird at work
or
B:He has a GF/Sig other and he's trying to cool things down.

ok two things
He's uncomfortable around you
or
He likes you

He is probably having the same feelings you are having but he is not as discreet about them as you are....maybe he cant really hide his feelings.

he might of realzed he liked you but since your not flirty or acting like you like you he might be scared you don like him because he is shy and all so i jus say ask...thats the best way to find out

he probably likes you and thinks you dont like him back so hes prolly not sure how to approach you.

What changed is that he likes you and he's afraid you'll see it in his eyes.

he likes u as well he probobly wants to go out with you but he doesnt know the right time 2 ask

i feel he isn't sincere.

Well he things thinks your playing games with him, and sounds to me like you are. Why do you got to make things so complicated. Obviously he's interested or at least was, but you seem to be playing a little to hard to get for him and now he's backing off.
He's annoyed. If you want things to go further, now your going to have to ask him out or nothing is going to come of it.
Smarten up and stop playing games. He already has a hard enough time talking to women, cause you said he is quite and shy, so loosen up a bit and stop giving him the run around. The next time you work together I think you should stop by his desk and ask him to a movie or out for coffee, but on that note. You both need to be careful. Working that close to someone and dating could make work very difficult for both of you if it doesn't work out. Especially for someone stubborn like yourself.
Good luck!

At first he just thought of you as friends, but it seems he's probably got a crush on you now and gets shy when he looks at you now. How old are you people? I remember feeling this way when I was in high school. I'd be friends with a guy and then I'd start to have feelings for him and I'd get shy around him then. It usually didn't work out so great for me. If you like him, you'll have to try to help him get past this. My hubby was very persistent and now we've been together for almost 20 years.
