Should I unfollow him?
i’m in college and there’s this guy i’ve had this weird tension with for months now. We have different majors but we always end up seeing each other at the refectory and around campus. at first it was just random staring until it became VERY intentional. like constant eye contact, smiling when we pass each other, him literally turning around just to look at me again. even my friends started noticing it because it was getting too obvious.
there was also this phase where he kept coming near my class during lectures even though he had his own classes somewhere else. like sir what exactly was the academic purpose here haha??
the thing is i’m not someone who can live off “tension” alone. i need clarity or at least SOMETHING solid because after a while the staring just starts feeling like psychological torture. and i’m also very prideful so making the first move is genuinely painful for me, but after months of this weird situation i decided to follow him on instagram just to kinda open the door, and he accepted in like a few minutes, follow me as well.
and suddenly this man switched personalities, now whenever i’m near him he avoids eye contact and acts all nonchalant, but the second i’m farther away i still catch him looking for me in crowds. and i SWEAR he tries to show off around me too. like acting extra charismatic, extra gentlemanly, deeper voice and everything 😭
but what confuses me is… nothing actually happened after that?? no message, no attempt to talk to me, nothing. i even posted a story and he liked it but STILL didn’t say anything. and now i genuinely can’t tell if he’s shy, scared, uninterested, or just enjoys this weird silent game we’ve been stuck in for months.
and before anyone says “just text him” please understand that i already sacrificed 70% of my pride by following him first. the remaining 30% is all i have left to survive.
