Why does he get surprised by the things I say or do?

It's a good thing.  You are saying thing that he want to hear.  And he is realizing that you might really like him.  Because he likes you.  So don't put to much into it.  Take it slow and enjoy it date by date.

They are afraid to upset you or make you feel bad.  They also probably heard gossip or wrong information about your breakdown.  The best thing to do is act like you usually do and they will stop acting weird after a while.

Age old question with a very simple answer. If he goes out of the way to cross paths with you, even if he is too timid to speak. When he does speak he tells you you have some nice jeans/music on, your jacket is awesome, etc. He does little things(favors)etc for you without you asking and expecting nothing back. He never lets anyone bad talk you in front of his. If he does 85% of those things, he is smitten by you. But maybe she believes she doesn't have a chance and that is why he doesn't say anything. Some guys get gun shy after they have been used and abused, lumped up and cheated on by many other girls.

Sounds totally normal to me, embarassing as it is.  I've found the only way to stop losing the plot every time you talk to him is to actually spend more time with him, a kind of practice thing.  It'll also give him time to get his stuff sorted out while you're doing the same

He was probably just nervous cause he didn't know how to react to your  having to call his direct attention to you at that moment. Like maybe he was doing a little fantasizing and got caught.

Words are cheap.  Obviously his actions are speaking much louder than his words...\n\nSounds like he said just what you wanted to hear so he could get into your pants..  Once conquered he has lost interest.  You are a notch on his belt.\n\nI'm sorry this happened to you.  Move on and learn from your mistake.

No, then he would think that there is a reason you are doing so.  Just make it seem like it doest bother you and act natural.  That way if you seem true and not up to something he will be more at ease with you, it might take some time.

You have a tendency to punish him when he gives you what you want. That will make him close up and communication will be next to impossible. I'm sure you don't do it maliciously, but you should stop to think how what you say might be perceived.

If he saw you watching him, then you can use it to your advantage. Don't know why he'd keep it a secret from you or hide it. Maybe he's embarassed. If he didn't see you watching, keep it to yourself and chuckle next time you see him.

(nothin wrong with you)(not being rude)may be he's ashamed of you. or he wants to make u jelous. its got to be one of 'em. Or Last: may be he found a new one?

Maybe he really loves you, and is afraid that he will upset you, so he takes his time coming up with the right words to explain how he is feeling. (I do that when I am in love) Maybe he even gets a little embarassed of his emotions sometimes, most of us are raised not to show what we are feeling.

He is scared. Or he must be lieing to you. Don't listen to him watch his actions

he is super quiet around you cos he doesn't want to mess up around you, he wants to do all the right things and this makes him nervous around you and so for him not to blunder he goes quiet but you can help him relax around you.

Mine used to be like that to until I started calling him the B word and he realized I really do sound like a woman..I told him that was my job, and I don't even do it...Record him or something so he can see how he sounds, or is he really that insecure? Good luck...

You might try recording one of his 'episodes', he may not realize how obnoxious that is.  You might reminding him that it's only a compliment when someone ELSE says it...\n\nGood luck, that kind of behavior gets old fast!

he gets flustered around you. or tries to be funny- maybe successfully, maybe not. guys stare if they like you. then they look away and pretend they didn't if you catch them.
