He seems interested yet he's evasive?

Post Reply New Topic

So I know this guy from some weekly mental health wellbeing groups (ones a social group, the other an outdoor learning group) which we both attend. Over the past several weeks we have gotten to know each other really well and are now really comfortable with each other. We are always hanging out together at the groups and have banter, and he always teases, flirts (usually in immature, silly ways such as putting a twig in my hair, teasing me about liking other guys when he knows I don't, makes innuendo jokes, etc) makes fun of me in a friendly way, and vice-versa, and we have even broken the physical touch barrier.

Anyway our chemistry hasn't gone unnoticed and by now 3 different people have commented on our chemistry, mostly that "we are like a married couple"
I recently tested the water by seeing if he wanted to swap phone numbers (I offered to ring him so he'd get up in time for an early start at one of the groups) but he seemed to avoid giving me an answer by joking my question/invite off.

So to conclude, I'm confused, I definitely think he's interested but he's being evasive, or maybe he just sees me as a good friend?

Thoughts?
And how to respond to his evasiveness?

Thanks for reading

Perhaps he's scared or has trust issues, maybe try to be more direct

If he's a high school-aged boy, it's likely that he's shy.

Maybe wait just a little bit longer to exchange numbers.

If he is evasive, respond by being evasive. Also, you should be able to get to swapping numbers in an evasive way as well by giving hints and such.

So if he needs waking up, discuss it with hinting, and then try to get to the point of swapping numbers without directly saying it. Like if he needs help waking up, offer to help him (using hints), and then he will understand that you cannot do it without giving out his phone number, so he has to give that to you himself in order for it to work. Just an example, and there probably are other ways to go about it.

I just love being evasive and using hints.

UPDATE:

Never mind folks, he recently made a nasty joke about my aspergers traits/difficulties, in an attempt to mock me in front of others Needless to say, he's really not attractive anymore.

Thanks anyway for your replies

What an as*hole!

What did he say if you don't mind me asking?
