He walks his dog, I walk my dog. Same neighborhood.
I always avoid him. One day I accidentally smiled at him and turned red. He kept staring at me with no reaction, when I looked away he said hi and got closer, asked a few questions about my dog. My dog started barking, I went fight-or-flight, answered briefly and escaped
saw him again yesterday, kept trying to avoid him. He comes my way but actually had to go the other way. He was being so different it actually weirded me out. He was sort of clumsy in the way he moved, and usually he seems so self controlled, and he was loud too hahah like talking out loud to his dog but only when I got there. I smiled accidentally again and he asked again about my dog and tried to be funny about her barking. It felt as if he was trying to be fun and friendly? But in a ridiculous way
Predicting some types of answers (“ask him”, “how should we know”): I’m not looking for the absolute truth, just opinions :)
I don’t see any of that based on what you posted. It’s clear he likes you too, and he’s probably also worried. If he already made an attempt, he might be waiting for you now. Just say hi.
Edit: See if you guys can text for awhile, he might be shy too
You’re right haha say hi, I can do that. If his was an attempt last time, he might have thought he read the situation wrong… Let’s hope I won’t make it worse
You won’t make it worse. If he’s waiting, he might be worried you aren’t into him.
