New Years Eve Party, I met this guy I couldn't take my eyes off. Extremely fab looking.
Different from the rest. I felt attracted to him. I knew him by name (unbeknownst to him) since he writes for this magazine. I know what he does, where he works at, etc. since I had read a profile on him. When I finally saw him, my heart just skipped several beats. We were never introduced. We happen to belong to this association. Our only common link. He was with his friends at the party, and I was hanging out with a guy friend of mine. Several times, I noticed him glancing in my direction. There was a definite "something" between us, even though we never got a chance to communicate "verbally".
Towards the end of the party, I noticed that his back was facing me, while he danced with his buddies. All the other times, he was always "facing me" when he danced.
Why did he decide to turn his back on me?
Was this an "intentional" thing? to make me wonder? Was he playing hard to get? :-) I know girls do this sometimes, but do guys do it too, intentionally? Was he disappointed about something? Or was he simply "not interested" anymore. Upto that point, the vibes I got was very positive.
Is it possible that he thought that the guy who was with me, was my Boyfriend?
Is a guy very likely to think that?
Also, I feel I made a terrible mistake by visibly showing my interest in him.
Is it possible that he got turned off with that?
Is a guy more likely to show an interest if the girl remains a tad distant and "pretends" to "not notice"? By showing my interest (glancing at him now and then and being acutely aware of his presence and whereabouts in the room) did I reduce my chances in any way?
The party ended, and we went our separate ways.
I feel helpless, nervous, excited. I have been thinking about him, and for some reason, I am very sure he is thinking about me too. Dont ask me how I know this. It's just a strong gut feeling. I am a million percent sure he saw something in me.
But I am confused about why he'd turn his back to me towards the end of the party.
I have no idea when I will ever bump into him. It depends on destiny now.
If ever I do, what should I do? Just play it cool? Take the initiative and extend a friendly greeting? Or wait for him to do the same? Should I show an interest in him?
I got strong vibes that he is a reserved person. Although, a cool and confidant one at that. Will he ever take an initiative. How can I let him know I am single so he doesn't get the wrong idea.
I want to get to know him more.
But I am afraid he thinks I am already taken.
Do advise...
Waiting in anticipation,
B.

Hi Bnaka and welcome!
I thiink you are reading way too much into his body language. If you were with a guy, how did he not know that it wasn't your boyfriend or something similar?
Since NYE, have you seen this guy again? Is there any possible way for him to contact you through mutual friends?
