IF he's an extrovert and talks to EVERYONE, why can't he talk to me?

Question

I like my guy friend who is really outgoing (extroverted), but very perceptive as well. He is always acting crazy around everyone, but when he talks to me, or happens to be alone with me, he gets quiet and "nervous" like and it makes me uncomfortable. I intuitively learned something was wrong with him after he had a break up, but he wouldn't give me details. He just said I was right and has been neglecting me for awhile. He says he will be his normal self this fall. What can you tell me about him?

Answer 1

Because he loves you - are you happy now, is that what you wanted to hear?!

Answer 2

Maybe he has a crush on you. Or he feels guilty about something. Or you expect him to be weird so you watch him with a weird intensity and make him nervous.

Answer 3

HE LOVES YOU

Answer 4

Listen most likely, he likes you. Im a guy. and usually guys get nervous and quiet around the girl they like

Answer 5

Either he likes you, or he is afraid that you will analyze him and fit him into categories.  If he doesn't enjoy that himself, he may find it distasteful or trivializing or invasive.

Third option?  It's easy to be an extrovert until someone makes you self conscious.  Nothing like someone who self-identifies as "intuitive, feeler, judging" to take the carefree, thoughtless wind out of an extrovert's usual patterns.  He may find this an oasis of quiet time, or an odd experience.  Ask him to close his eyes and verbalize what he's experiencing, and listen for words like "tranquil" or "insightful" vs "bored" and "cynical" vs "agitated" and "awkward."  

He may have gotten mauled (or done some damage) in a relationship that was very important to him, and not want to share that with his "intuitive" pal.  Of he may have ditched a dying relationship, and be trying to broach something incredibly deep and meaningful with you.

It would be...bad...to mistake either situation for the other.  The first scenario has a slight edge, given the time component; it reads more like "I'll be over her by then."  My perception is that you might like answer #2 better, in which case, be careful that it does not distort your intuition.

So, I'd say, just in case, intuit less, and communicate more.
