I’d like to go for it and see if he might be interested…
- in my opinion he could tell I’m interested -> stranger smiling at him, blushing, shying away
- but other behaviors make me seem not interested
What can I do without being a creep? 🥲
We’re neighbours and I don’t wanna become the weird girl he sees at the park…
What if he just feels sorry for me being shy/avoiding him or something
Old post
He walks his dog, I walk my dog. Same neighborhood.
I always avoid him. One day I accidentally smiled at him and turned red. He kept staring at me with no reaction, when I looked away he said hi and got closer, asked a few questions about my dog. My dog started barking, I went fight-or-flight, answered briefly and escaped.
Saw him again yesterday, kept trying to avoid him. He comes my way and was being so different it actually weirded me out. He was sort of clumsy in the way he moved, and usually he seems so self controlled, and he was loud too hahah like talking out loud to his dog but only when I got there. I smiled accidentally again and he asked again about my dog and tried to be funny about her barking. It felt as if he was trying to be fun and friendly? But in a ridiculous way

He could just be Canadian.
You wouldn’t know him.
He travels a lot and doesn’t use technology.

I don’t see any of that based on what you posted. It’s clear he likes you too, and he’s probably also worried. If he already made an attempt, he might be waiting for you now. Just say hi.
Edit: See if you guys can text for awhile, he might be shy too
You’re right haha say hi, I can do that. If his was an attempt last time, he might have thought he read the situation wrong… Let’s hope I won’t make it worse
You won’t make it worse. If he’s waiting, he might be worried you aren’t into him.

Yes I am :)
If I were in his shoes reading this post. I would’ve thought to myself “better leave her alone”
Wow, would you be so kind to tell me why too? :)
I would say it sounds like you’re not excited about him and that he should move on.

Then don’t avoid him and be natural. That’s all.
Best advice here
Then why are you trying to avoid him, trying to purposefully not make eye contact or look at him, leaving abruptly when he talks to you…etc. Sounds like you’re doing your best to give him the impression you’re not interested
Because I’m not looking for anyone right now. This happened out of nowhere, and I’ve needed to be alone for a long time, men, friends, people in general.
Then what’s the point of this thread? Whether he likes you or not makes no difference in terms of available outcomes. Sorry, not trying to be combative, just legitimately don’t understand why even care if there’s nothing you plan to do about it.
ops. Guess you just exposed the fact that i’m lying to myself
Yeah I realized this somewhere in the comments haha sorry everyone :) I’m seriously confused
Well if you want to make it easier to be alone, next time you see him look him dead in the eye and say “Fuck off”. He won’t try anything after that and you can go back to being alone if that’s what you need. No point worrying about whether someone is attracted to you if you have zero intent on following up (even as a friend) - burn the bridge and save yourself the worry.

Show him your genitals and see if he’s interested or calls the cops.
That’s how I would do it.
Instructions unclear.
Called the cops and showed them her genitals.
Dog guy takes a different route now.
He could be interested. You both have dogs which is great for small talk to gauge interest. Make it a point to try to talk with him more. Dogs are a great ice breaker especially if they get along. Go for it!!!
It appears you both glimpse opportunity knocking.
One of you has to try the bell.How
Is there a dog-friendly cafe in the hood? Figure out how to get him there, in your own way or words. “I’m chillin’ at the cafe (dog park, bush trail, bistro) now/later/tomorrow…if you feel like hanging, I’m buying…”
Keep it about dogs and chilling and it’s sorta accidental that you’re asking bc that’s what you’re doing, regardless.
How’s that for spur of the moment?
You smooth motherfucker!
