I would like to ask your opinions on something about a friend of mine. And no, I don't mean me pretending to ask for a "friend". 
This is for a female friend of mine who in my opinion is a bit dillusional when it comes to this guy she is crazy about. Actually, she is somewhat over him now, but she still has the feeling that this guy likes her, but I think differently. For example...
She has known this guy for a while. She confessed to him twice that she liked him, and both times he said that she was not his type.
She calls him occasionally to ask how he's doing, but she usually gets the answering machine... and he never calls back.
She e-mails him, but he doesn't e-mail her back.
They used to see each other a couple of times a week, but their situation doesn't call for them to meet anymore. Not once has he tried to call, e-mail or make any kind of contact.
He once saw her in a store that they coincidentally were in, and he paced the floor a couple of times before walking out. Why was he nervous to be around this woman who likes him? Was it because he likes her and he's afraid, or he just doesn't want any part of her.
She claims that he's afraid to venture into her waters because he's been burned in the past and is not ready for a relationship. Also, she is a bit bold, she goes for what she wants, God Bless her, and this may intimadate him. But I seem to think that he just doesn't think of her that way. If someone tells me twice that I'm not their type, then I guess I'm not their type, right?
So the question is, is she wrong in thinking that he likes her? I know that if a woman I like shows interest in me, I would return her phone calls & e-mails, no matter how shy I am because I need to ease my way into getting confidence around her. I would never ignore a woman I like and purposely lose contact if she is making every effort to stay in touch. To all you shy guys out there, do you run away from women who you like and you know they like you?
By the way, this guy is not shy.
