Men, help me read eye contact.

Mainly interested in this guy who's always extremely serious when looking at me: he holds eye contact and i've caught him looking at me when I can't see him but whenever we interact he's dead serious.

Never smiled back to me, he's always nice though.. He doesn't seem shy but maybe I can't tell cause he seems very masculine... I don't understand if he's just serious, or shy or intentionally doing that. He almost looks angry but I can tell he's not haha

And I'm sucking at life for now, so no maybe I wouldn't haha

You don't need to understand before you ask. That's why you ask. To find out.

When I was younger I used to waste a lot of time thinking and wondering about people instead of just making moves. And so I didn't go out with people, I didn't get to do a lot of stuff.

Now I just ask people. Sometimes there's rejection, but that's okay. Sometimes there's success, too.

(Written from the perspective of a man. Women are often held to different standards, and some people may take offense to a woman acting independently. Personally, I think those people stink, and you probably don't want to be involved in someone who's going to be mad about you using your agency anyway.)
