I'm an MSc student (woman). An international course mate who wears the LGBT lanyard (my friends say he must be gay because lanyards were handed out to those who identified with the LGBT community during registration) is acting weird around me.
He is a presumably a nice individual and good looking also. I had taken the initiative to connect with him and another friend of his as I like to talk to everyone on my course. However he just sometimes acts weird and trying to be extra friendly to others when around me while ignoring me. Although during initial connection he was quite kind and polite, even introducing me to his other course mates.
1 day I was just sitting next to my best friends in class and just having a laugh while solving problems. I invited them to come with me for a talk at my alma mater. I couldn't invite too many people. He was there at the table and heard too, and just started staring at me. Many times I randomly find his gaze just watching me. I'm not the most attractive woman and I don't know why he does this as he is presumably gay.
Sometimes he ignores and sometimes extra polite, holding doors etc. I'm so confused. Or maybe he is just interested in me as a person as I am from the same heritage as him but a very different upbringing here in the UK. Even the way I speak is different.
Any thoughts on this baffling behavior? Or anything I need to watch out for?
My initial gut feeling about this guy was never so good. No idea why. I tried to keep my distance while being polite. But today in class he was really polite and I felt a good energy from him.
Just a bit confused about this interaction
