Is it normal for me to feel confused about this guy?

He sounds confusing and so do you. You're never gonna know how he truly feels or how you truly feel until you spend time with him. So, go spend time with him and stop worrying.

Sounds like he likes you but he lacks confidence (as you do).

Ask him out already and stop wasting your time secretly pining away for a guy that might not like you.

Here's some tips :

MOST guys are very shy and lack confidence when they like a girl.

ALL guys think about sex very often. Usually like every 30 seconds or something like that so if you like him and want him to like you that's an easy way in.

Knowing that means he's already thought about having sex with you especially because you made initial contact/complimented him.

However he's unsure because he lacks confidence and you aren't really flirting with him so he isn't sure.

Unless you're very unattractive or he's got a gf or he's gay, he's thinking about having sex with you. He's probably already jacked off thinking about you at least several times when at home. Guys play little sex movies in their heads jerking off to the girls they've met in public or they find attractive/have a crush on etc.

While that's a compliment it also adds huge pressure on him which makes him awkward around you or other girls he likes. Guys are super horny it's what makes us tick. We're thinking about fucking you cute girls when we're talking to you so it's often hard for us to control ourselves when we like a girl. When you're talking to us we're often thinking of some fun sex act we're doing with you.

All you need to do is flirt with him or even just pass him your number and say to him if he wants to hang out to call you. Guys/girl have a much easier time sending texts or chatting over the phone than face to face.

You can even use a lame girl excuse to get his number by saying your cell phone isn't working right and it's not sending text messages you think then ask him if it's ok for you to check your phone and send him a text message. He'll of course say yes and give you his number or even better you give him your number and ask him to send you a text then you'll reply back.

Once you got his number you can easily seduce him by sending him flirty text messages.

Here's another easy one.

The next time he's walking near you call him over and tell him you've got a neck/shoulder cramp and have him massage you.
Guys get super horny when touching girls. If he tries to say he doesn't know how to give a massage just take his hands in yours and place them on your shoulders/back part of your neck and say something like "Owww! hurry!"

He'll start to do it and he'll love it if he's at all interested in you or finds you remotely attractive.

When he's doing it obviously let him know he's doing an amazing job and you want him to do other parts of your body like your shoulders, or back, etc.
Then when he's done or you guys have to get back to work turn around and give him a big hug and thank him.
Hold onto him for a moment when you hug him and squeeze his waste a bit to let him know what's up.

There, I just got you laid.

You're welcome.

This stuff is SO easy you just have to take action and get the ball rolling.

Guys usually go through this..... In any case take your chance coz u got nothin to lose. It is better to know the truth rather than being stuck in a limbo.

Eye contact, verbal contact, physical contact.
The first one is done, try striking up a casual conversation next time you see him ("good morning" is a nice starter) and just introduce yourself. That way, even if he doesn't respond, or is still cold, you haven't made yourself look too foolish.
I wouldn't suggest being too overt, if he's either shy or stuck up, he probably won't respond well.
Take a chance! You really have nothing to lose...

Haha some girls make us the same exact way. It is a work environment doubt he would turn down small talk. Perhaps he thinks you might be cold as well? Either way don't take everything from the one experience!

Hmmmm. I agree, make the first move and spend some time with him! If you get rejected, then don't take it too harshly; at least then you would know not to waste your thoughts on him anymore, and can move on. You are not getting anywhere staring from afar. Grow some lady balls if you think he is worth it:)

If you over-think things, you will confuse yourself. Good luck!

Just try to find the courage to get the first approach done.
