Question for guys re signs

[ITGirl73]

I am friendly with a guy who I know gets teased about how well we get on.

 

I noticed for the last few months that if we talk in front of them he never makes eye contact with me but does when we are on our own.

 

If I keep my distance for a day or two he starts sending me messages, leaving newspaper articles that he thinks I would be interested and makes more of an effort etc.

 

Is the lack of eye contact a bad sign and what does it mean when guys make more of an effort if they pick up on signals that the girl is keeping her distance?

 

Should I continue keeping my distance to see is this makes him more relaxed and maybe the others that tease him (wish people would leave him alone) will move as well?

Of course he makes eye contact with u when you are alone..who else is he supposed to look at?

I dont think he necessarily picks up that you are keeping a distance.If your friends don't talk to you for a while you also will start talk to them,right?

I think it's a bit too early to jump to the conclusion?
