u/Fit_Interaction_5842

So up until recently there has always been this Guy I have lots of classes with yet I never really paid attention to him. Id catch him stare for a long time, before he used to look away quickly but now he just keeps the eye contact for quite a while. We didnt really interact but for like the last 2weeks hes been behaving differently. I have a pretty loud laugh and he sometimes copies it even when im nowhere near him nor am I talking to him. In one class, he was being nosy and playing around with his pencil so I turned around to face him. It was quiet and when he looked at me, he reacted really quickly and loudly said "What are ya looking at, turn around and do your work". I was really confused by his behaviour and just thought hes like this with everybody. But then my one friend said he just seemed awkward and shy around others, and the other friend asked me why that guy is always repeating what I say or commenting on what I do. I had absolutely no idea and just said I think he doesnt like me. What do you guys think?

So there's been a Guy I recently started liking and at first we had this being jokingly-mean to eachother dynamic where He would say random things to tease me and id do it aswell. The Problem is that he probably does this to many girls (not sure but he is friends with many women) and didnt see me as special.

Yet lately ive started staring at him and he would stare back. It evolved into me smiling at him when he saw me and they very next day, he suddenly was so nice to me. He gave me a compliment and kept smiling. When he saw me he smiled, waved and said Hii [name]. He never used to do this but thats exactly why im confused

What could explain this behaviour shift??

Is it normal for guys to smile at you and give a random compliment? Like him saying youre pretty or they like ur clips/accessories at a stage where you guys are kind of Friends?

Ive had a crush on a guy for like 2years but it was getting me literally nowhere. I couldnt even being myself to talk with him, so I gave it up a few weeks ago. Before that, I was always looking for him everywhere, like when I went out or just at school hoping to find him, taking different routes just for eyecontact all that stuff. All that effort and I legit never saw him anywhere.. Yet now that I am trying to move on, he is EVERYWHERE im not even kidding

I went out with Friends, he was there. I took multiple different routes to avoid him but somehow he still was right there infront of me. How can I see him outside of school 3 days in a row on completely different locations now that im trying my best to avoid him??
