Is it normal for a guy who likes you to behave this way?

This guy seemed really shy around me, though he isn't shy at all overall. He asked me out a few times, both on the phone and in person in front of many other people... but when he did do it, it seemed like he was joking. I liked him and I would have gone out with him, but I just wasn't sure I could take him seriously. He never seemed serious when he asked me out, and he semed like a player with other girls - but didn't actually date any. This went on for like four years. He was a year older than me and he once came to school to see me a year after he graduated. I was too freaked out to talk to him, but he came and found me. I thought he would say something then, but he didn't. What was this guy's deal? Is it normal for a guy to behave like this when he really likes someone, or was he just fooling around?

    He had problems in his home life and this affected his confidence around you. He knew he could not make you happy so he never wanted to make you believe he could, however he did have hope that just being with you could change that and he asked you out. He seemed like he was joking because he thought that he had no chance.He tried this with many women because he was lonely and his heart hurt but each time he tried this happened and the hurt just got worse so he gave up on you all.He really liked you though and not the rest; so he came to visit. Ask him out if you want he will say yes-sincerely a guy who understands weirdos because I was/sometimes am one.

    Sounds suspiciously as if he genuinely likes you. No psychology lessons here, but...that's what it is.

    How serious would you want someone to be to ask you out? Lots of people approach others they're interested in a light joking way for all sorts of reasons. Anyway, I don't understand why you're still concerned about it: if he was interested in you, you missed your chance.

    He's probably somewhere wondering what you were on about.
