If a person initially is very friendly with you and seems confident around you, why would he start acting all shy when you say something really nice to him (re something he puts alot ot effort into)...then, act shy when you smile at him. He doesn't run away, but many times, seems to act less overtly.

When I was younger I was totally bold around even the best looking women. Unless I really liked them. Then I was shy.

He is like that beacuse it really means a lot when it comes from you, it not shyness but it is just that he thinks that you like him and he is now nervous that you have shown intreset in him( you dont give compliments to people you dont like as a rule)
We men like compliments, especially from women we like, it is a confidence thing. Actually if you paid him a compliment and he didnt act a little shy or act a little embarresd then I would say that he may not be as attracted to you as you think. In other words dont let it bother you, he likes you!

All I said was - I know you work very hard - it's very impressive. Dad and one of my best guyfriends said that he could be acting like this unconsciously so I shouldn't try to intepret him -although it did appear that he was acting somewhat different, lol. Quieter too. At one point, I thought he was on speed because his eyes were diverting back and forth at such a rate - all I was doing was smiling at him. So, something went on in his brain, lol. He's attached to someone though so...this is news to me now.I'm keeping my distance -not throwing myself at him as usual.

Have you two done a lot of talking before, or just greeting each other and basically just letting each other know you were alive? He may not be one to have had many compliments in life, about what he's doing. If you two haven't been doing much talking, and then you compliment his work ethic and what he's accomplishing with his time, that's a mighty step up in the level of communicatoin between the two of you. Also, there's not much of any room for reply there other than thank you, right? He may want to say more, but has nowhere to go.

No, he's told me about his background, his family, nicknames they've given him, what he did before he came to uni here, etc...we've talked alot about him, actually.

I agree -- that interpretation is likely near the truth.
But BF, you need to understand that you can never really figure out people to the level of detail that you seem to want to. There are many possible explanations of a persons behaviour and you never will really know for sure what is in their head. Even if they tell you what they are thinking you still got to take it with a grain of salt.

Still, at the point you made those comments, did he have anywhere to go conversation-wise? This wasn't a sure is hot out here, I'm going to get a lemonade, do you want one?... Something where he could finish what he's doing, dust off, and be ready to talk, agreed?
