I can't tell if he's shy or not interested

I think he likes me, because we make eye contact a lot, I catch him looking at me, and I know he liked me 2 yrs ago when we were friends. But he didn't think I liked him, so he asked out my friend, I got mad and stopped talking to him. Now we rarely talk but I still like him. He usually talks to everyone around except me, even though I sit next to him in class. We've talked a few times and he seemed anxious, but always made long eye contact with me. He pretty much ignores me if there's an opportunity to talk, and he always takes forever to respond to my texts or doesn't text back at all, so I stopped texting. But back when we were friends he was the one doing all the pursuing. What do you guys think?

I think it's time to move on hun. My guess would be that he wonders what would have happened if he had gone out with you, but mostly, he's moved on completely and he's over you, and it's time for you to get over him too. He doesn't talk to you or respond to you when you're texting him/talking to him. That right there should be a bit of a hint that he's moved on, and it's time for you to do the same. You missed your chance, he missed his chance, there's no use wondering what could have been and sitting there thinking about it for hours on end. You need to get yourself back out there, and start to get over him. Acknowledge that nothing did happen between you, and nothing ever will. I know it's hard to admit that, but sometimes that's the way things are. Start searching for someone else, and stop talking to the guy, because it's clear he's not into you, and he's not going to be into you anymore. And honestly, with the "he makes eye contact with me" portion, I know a lot of guys, myself included, will kind of stare into space and, at times, may look like we're staring at a person. That's happened to me a time or two, and it's unintentional. And really, that's probably most of what's here. He's moved on, now it's your turn. I know it's hard, and we're all here if you need us.

okay that's kinda confusing because I asked this on another forum a while ago and they said that he liked me, but felt awkward since I'd been ignoring him, and that I should ask him out. I definitely get what you're saying, but I find that a little weird that there'd be two totally different opinions based on the same story

So you've been given two differentrent opinions on the same situation. Now it's your turn to choose with one you want to go for. I see where Clint is coming from but I think if you both wan to you could work something out. Its entirely up to you now. It doesn't seem like hes going to make a move any time soon so if you want something to happen its got to be your doing. Ask him out or like Clint said, forget about him and move on.

I was in a similar situation. A guy always made eye contact with me, but never talked to me when the opportunity arose, but it turns out he liked me. You need to go for it, you could lose an opportunity if you don't act fast. Even if he doesn't like you, you tried at least.

Hey everyone, so about 2 wks ago I decided to go for it and ask him to the sadie hawkins dance, without telling him that i liked him. he said he wasn't going, and basically rejected me. Now it's super awkward and we're both avoiding each other haha. But I'm glad that I did it so I can finally start getting over him
