What does it mean if a guy says hi to you one day and simply stares at you the next?

Answer 1

Perhaps you aren't making it all that easy on the guy. Cut him some slack. If he stares at you then smile back. Give him some sign of encouragment, but only if you really like him. He may just think he doesn't stand a chance with you and is probably trying to get on with his life. If you like him, smile and talk to him and see where the relationship goes from there.

AnswerHe probably has the hots for you and gets his courage up to look at you. Its probably a big deal to actually look at you cause he may be shy. Then the next day he doesnt know how to proceed with the next step which would be to talk to you so he hides. I have done this myself. I was smitten with a guy and behaved the same way. It was to the point where I would run away when i would see him cause i was so nervous. It was embarssing. I just couldn't talk to him and whne i did i so nervous. It was agony in all honesty. AnswerIf this is any consolation, most of us, when younger, we hide out when it comes to facing someone we are attracted too. Dating wasn't easy back in my day and it isn't now.

Just for some fun info here is what it was like back in the 50s when I was in my teens:

Most girls didn't wear make-up until they were 16. Of course, I was no different than you, and when I'd get down the block I would put on lipstick at least so I'd look cool around my friends. One day I bought what they called "indelible lipstick" and I couldn't get that sucker off my lips. The harder I rubbed the redder it got! I was grounded for a week.

Girls NEVER asked guys out. It just wasn't right back then. Thank heavens times have changed.

Sex was never discussed with parents (little taught in school) and when you started your periods you got the old Kotex box and a brochure explaining what menstrual periods were, shot right through the door at you.

Sex amongst your girlfriends was rarely discussed and we did giggle and titter over boys we thought were cute.

The fear of God was put into us so we wouldn't have sexual relations and most of us didn't have our first sexual encounter until at least 18. I hated it back then, but now, when I look back, I'm so glad we had that hard and fast rule.

Skimpy bikinis were a no! If a girl wore one she was considered "not worth knowing" to put it politely. Although adults felt this way, the kids didn't.

Before the age of 17 you were seldom allowed out on a date alone with a boy and there was a curfew that the police kept a tight rein on. If you were found loitering on the streets (girl/guy) you were picked up by the police and driven to your door for all the neighbors to see. That was good cause to be grounded for 2 weeks.

You bet I snuck out to be with my so-called boyfriend at the time. The kids had "lover's lanes" or we jokingly remarked, "Lets go submarine watching." Often we would pet and the windows would steam up and before you knew it (no matter how careful you were) a tap, tap, tap came to the window and there was the good old cop with his trusty flashlight catching you in the act of perhaps a few buttons loose on your blouse, the rock tunes raging out of the old radio and a stupid look on both our faces. The fear of our parents finding out was so great it actually helped to keep us celibate.

A girl back then couldn't get into a bar (use to call them "beer parlors") until the age of 21 and when you did, you had to have an escort (date.)

You may think some of the above is pretty strict, but I wouldn't have missed the 50s for anything. Those were still the days of innocence (although we weren't angels) and we had great fun. We'd go to drive-in theaters and neck with the guy we thought was our only love and we snuck our friends into the drive-in by hiding them in the trunk. We smoked and drank cokes (not snorted it) and we screamed and yelled at the likes of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, etc. When The Beatles came to Vancouver, B.C., the city went wild. We partied our heads off and the worse that could happen was two guys having a good old fist fight without weapons. My girlfriends and I would giggle and carry on about some cute guy and think up ways to get his attention. We had "initiations" in high school (terrifying) but never harmful as it can be today and is referred to as "hazing" now.

All I can say is, I sure wish I could take you younger generation back to the 50s on a wild ride because I know you'd love it even with all the rules and regulations.

AnswerHe was probably thinking about you all day and even during the night. Since you and hundreds of other girls didnt even smile back or at least notice him without putting a frown on your face. He probably decided last night or that morning that he didnt stand a chance because he is not rich enough or good looking enough like the boyfriends of other girls. I know this personally.Many nice guys that you see being around a girl are just hoping that you might even be interested but are scared because of their past experience.These nice guys sometimes have murderous thoughts against women but you may not know.They are very disappointed that women say they want to meet a nice manbut there they are, nice guys that you women do not notice so.So this is one reason that these guys don't sympathise with women that with boyfriends that have wronged them.In fact they would hardly say it but they think you deserve it. Women must change their attitudes if thay want things to go well for them

Answer 2

It could mean a million things.

• He could just be looking at you
• He could find you attractive (this doesn't mean he wants to date you)
• He could find you attractive (and does want to date you)

There are many more endless possibilities! Just don't jump to conclusions about things. You could be taking a very simple thing way out of proportion.

Answer 3

Maybe you were having a really bad hair day.

Answer 4

I think he likes you and he's attracted to you and he feels shy to look straight at you.
