Yes there most definitely is a difference, and there are two perfect examples of each. If you like the guy back, he's genuine and trying to show you he's interested. If you don't like him back, he's pushy.
Sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear. But it is what you need to know. I am a guy, been one all my life, and I know how we think and work.
We don't have a hidden language of double meanings, we don't do subtle signals and we're completely immune to hints, so the only thing we have left is direct communication. If we spot a girl that interests us, we do whatever we can think of to get her attention. And we can't really think of much, because direct is the only language we speak.
Whether we're innocently trying to show our interest or being creepy / pushy is entirely up you the girl.
There are two types of guys.. The shy one and the brave ones.. This guy is a variant of a shy one. He does like you, I might even say alot but he hasn't talked to you because he thinks that he isn't worth your time. Call it inferiority complex if you may.
What you need to do is give him some of your time that is if you like him. If you don't then tell that to him the next time he tries to make a move.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
