He may like you but is hiding it if he shows subtle signs such as frequently looking at you, trying to be around you often (like "bumping into you" purposefully), offering help frequently, and finding excuses to talk to you. He might also show signs of nervousness, teasing, remembering small details about you, and jealousy when you talk to other guys. These behaviors indicate interest, but he hides it possibly due to shyness, fear of rejection, or wanting to protect the current friendship or relationship dynamics.

- Teases or playfully challenges you as a way of flirting.
- Remembers personal details about you and your interests.
- Displays subtle jealousy when you engage with other men.

Men often hide their feelings due to fear of rejection, wanting to protect a friendship, or being unsure if the feelings are mutual, so they wait for encouragement or the right moment to show how they feel.
