There's this guy who has been showing a lot of signs of liking me (staring, touching, teasing, bragging, being around me etc) for months now. I reciprocated sometimes but I rarely approached him. When we talk he doesn't really make a proper conversation and he often laughs like he's nervous, even if I don't say anything funny. He usually asks short questions that don't delve too deep. There was a period in the past when I ignored him because I was mad and thought he was only playing with me. He had suggested to hang out before but never asked when I was free or anything. When I ignored him he would stare more often and try to get my attention a lot. However, after a while I decided to give it a try and asked him if he wanted to meet. The problem is that he didn't really give me an answer yes or no. When I see him irl he still tries to talk to me and stares but he's always taking hours or a day to reply to my texts. I usually take a few hours too. He doesn't really talk to other girls much, at least not when I'm around. He has flirted with my friend though and I think he wanted to make me jealous because he later stopped. What's up with him? Is he just mirroring my texting behaviour or what? I would take it as a no and move on but he still keeps confusing me. Can someone be so shy to not reply when someone asks them out? It just seems fishy to me and I don't know what to do in this situation. It makes me think that he has someone else on the side or whatever. On the other hand I'm thinking that maybe he's just too shy and needs time to warm up, and the confusion remains. If he doesn't want to hang out I don't get what he wants from me. After all when you're really interested in someone you're eager to text them back and you say yes immediately..
