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?
I don't think he's playing hard to get from what all you say. He sounds like he does not know a lot about relationships, you show him as awkward several times.How to tell if a guy likes you but is PLAYING HARD TO GET to make you like him?
He may be playing hard to get, but I think it's that he's having trouble making his mind up. It could be that he isn't sure about you or has his eye on someone else, but I think it is more likely that he isn't sure how to be sure he'll get a date from you if he asks. And running away from him when he got weird at the mall confused him even more (he doesn't know he was being weird). I think he's into you but isn't too sure about diving into a relationship with you, so try asking him again with a destination in mind--tell him something you plan on doing and invite him along.
Yes, he probably is. Or else, it's just your impression and he's not interested. But I would say: he likes you, but he's playing hard to get...



Here's something you can do:

Next time he's online and you log in, don't message him, wait until HE does it, and if he doesn't, just don't say anything either.

It's a test. And to actually be certain of anything, you have to do it.
I wouldn't say he's playing hard to get, just nervous.

Maybe he likes you a lot and he's afraid to show it because he's unsure of whether you feel the same. Although you flirt and he does as well, he might feel that you're doing it to be polite.

Or, he might not like you so very much, and isn't really sure whether he wants you to think he does. Hoping not to lead you on, he says he's busy or is trying to avoid being too nice.

Make it clear that you want to go on a date with him. If he still says he's busy, don't give up. Accept him being unsure, and see if maybe he asks you out. If not, then it just wasn't meant to be ';/
I personally believe that guys aren't complicated like we are. They don't play ';hard to get';. I think when a guy's interested, he'll show it....again and again.... and you won't have to play detective to figure it out.



I think you're better off letting this guy chase YOU. Spend your energy on someone that isn't afraid to show that you that you're worth what little time he has.
It does look like he does like you. I find it cute when a guy gets nerves talking to you Lol. Anyways you should try and get his number so when you do ask him you can hear how he response to it. Like in his voice you can tell if he wants to. Also if you do see him again stay with him. Ask him if he wants to go do something like go eat or watch a movie or anything. I hope it works out:)
