He wouldn't shake my hand
Samantha, 16, from England asks:
There is this guy who I know but whenever we are around people he does talk to me so I'm not left out, touches me etc, but for example, when we went to play sports, he wouldn't shake my hand after the game finished, but he'd shake other people's hand. Why couldn't he shake my hand? It got me really angry but he said he was only joking. I didn't believe that, but before I left I gave him a hug to show no hard feelings as I don't like to hold grudges with people. Can you tell me why he acts like this. Thanks.
VictorM's advice:
Yes, I can tell you why. Because he likes you and he's a 16 year old dork. :)
He wants your attention. And admit it, he's gotten it. Why is he getting your attention this way? Well, fear of rejection is one reason. By not appearing to like you, he's not ridiculed or hurt if you turn him down. Being difficult with you gives him the easy out to say that he never liked you anyway. That's a 16 year old boy for you. Well... OK, that's an insecure and childish male for you.
So, the short answer then is: he likes you but is too insecure to admit it.
