Would a guy friend avoid you if he loves you?

He is not nessesarily "avoiding" you. He is just shy of you. You know how girls feel awkward around the guy they like and try to steer clear of them because they don't have the nerve to talk or associate with them? That's how guys are with girls. Boys aren't as weird as ya think sometimes. So try going up to that guy you think likes you and strike up a conversation.
