I need opinions on this weird gym situation with a guy. We had been making eye contact at the gym for around 2 months but never spoke. One day my machine broke and he + his friend helped me fix it. Later I thanked him, and eventually I sent his friend to ask if he wanted my number.
Important context: his friend also really liked me. Apparently he initially told the friend he “doesn’t want anything right now” because he felt bad about the friend situation.
But then a few days later he approached me himself, gave me his Snapchat, and admitted he originally felt conflicted because of his friend.
Then suddenly right after adding me he left me on delivered for 2 days straight.
His friend came to talk to me and I found out about the “I don’t want anything right now” comment and sent:“You should’ve told me that from the start, I would’ve understood and let you be.”Then I deleted him before he could answer.
A week later we saw each other at the gym on his birthday and held eye contact but he never approached me.Now I haven’t seen him in days.
From an outside perspective, does this sound like:
a guy who genuinely liked me but got avoidant/conflicted, or a guy who just liked the attention and lost interest once things became real?
