How to tell if a guy likes you but is PLAYING HARD TO GET to make you like him?

Whats up with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!鈥?br>
Here goes nothing:



Back in the middle of July i went to a 10 hour music festival with two guys I've never met and a mutual female friend. One of the two guys i currently have a bit of a crush on. At the festival he really flirted with me.



-He'd always stare into my eyes, i caught him staring at me in a 'dreamy' way, if you will lol, --He also seemed to try to impress me by showing me he was into the same things I was into.

-He kept looking around to see where i was

-He opened doors for me and stuff

-Whenever the other girl would try to flirt with him he tried not to pay attention to her

-Got upset when i did, he had no reason to be.......



So then its time to go home im pretty upset and i say bye to everyone and hes the only one to not say it back.....



So then a month passes by and i search for him online and started messaging him for a bit. He replies, but i had to iniate to convo 3 times....one day while im shopping at a store he shows up!!!!! I was completely shocked but happy i tried not to show.



When we noticed each other he seem beyond nervous and couldnt even say the word hi to me, he gave me a sort of a weak wave and just stared at me. and he was blushing! After the awkward moment he began asking how my summer went, and continually tried to make conversation with me. He was stuttering and everything. I had a feeling he followed me into the store because he really wasnt interested in the items the he was just standing there listening to music. He seemed to have a really tough time talking to me. But we asked question about each other and was flirty... And i continue looking around the store and by the time i buy my item i notice he has already left...i walk out and there he is again!!! like he was waiting for me to come out lol. So again we meet up and he ask me what i bought, and we make small talk again and we're pretty close walking side by side to each other. I asked him where he was going next and he tells me ';to go read';...i was a bit puzzled because on my webpage i have that one of my favorite things to do it READ...besides who goes to mall just to read???? So nervously i split away from him because i didnt wanna follow him...and then i get home hes online so i message him so he didnt get the idea that i didnt bail out on him.......frin his repsonses he seemed kinda upset...i let a few days passed and i asked him that if he wanted to that we could possibly hang out sometime



He tells me ';if i have time? lol busy alot lately';



so i tell him it sounds good to me and he read it but didnt reply to it.



But i do know for a fact that he really is busy and isnt making it up....



Inoticed that ever since i began messageing him he has been online way more frequently......SO he is playing hard to get?? HAHAHA THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!How to tell if a guy likes you but is PLAYING HARD TO GET to make you like him?
he likes you.i doubt guys play hard to get %26gt;.%26lt;How to tell if a guy likes you but is PLAYING HARD TO GET to make you like him?
If you like him then ask him out. Otherwise you will be here till the end of time....



Besides from what you have said he seems to be into you so that's a start....
No. He's just not into you. If he wanted you, he would ask you out. He knows where you are. Find someone else.
I dont know if hes playing hard to get or are u being too non challant about things. You already said he was making some obvious attempts to let you know he is interested but ur reaction should have been more direct.

Mabye you have to be the aggresor this time and be direct with him and tell him rather than ask him what u want to do. He is not playing he could just be slow at catching on.
I don't want to break your heart but it sounds like he's genuinely not into you and that he's trying to play the nice guy by still communicating with you. As a woman you should NEVER have to chase a man. You are making yourself way too available. Take care of yourself and stop initiating contact with him. There are many more men out there that will find you interesting and special enough to initiate spending time with you. If he's not ';man'; enough to tell you he's into you or ask you to hang out sometime do you really want to be with him anyways?
Sounds to me like he is really interested in you but is too shy and nervous and probably doesn't know how to go about things. He doesn't really seem to know what he's doing, his actions and words are always contradicted by what he says/does next so it seems to me that he doesn't know what to do about it.
