but the thing is i am a struggling nursing student and he’s a resident, young in older 20′s. Somehow I feel initimidated by that i feel like i am not good enough. or interesting enough. Also I am shy and pretty sensitive though i try hard to cover that up with confidence and humor.
He used to come up to my unit and whenever he’d see me he’d light up and say hello and talk to me. today i saw him after not seeing him for 3 weeks and he kinda said hi back but in a dismissing “i’m bussy” kinda way (he probably was).
We then accidentaly ran into each other in the cafeteria and he gave me a dull, blank stare (like he was seeing the most boring girl in the world) and i replied “it’s ok” and walked away. He then came back around me and tried to make some jokes ( i think he knew i picked up on his expression or something), but i ingored him, inside I mad and hurt mainly because he wasnt giving me attention. he even asked are you okay? i ignored him after that too, payed for my food, and just left…. i dont know if i did the right thing
this may all seem silly, but help me figure this guy out.

He’s probably just really busy meeting the demands of residency that maybe he thinks he just may not have time for dating. Maybe you can ask him about how his work is going, it’ll show that your interested and it might be a stress-reliever for him to talk out his exhaustions. You can ask him for coffee or tea, something simple and then go from there.
Being in my 20s as well, its a confusing time balancing career with relationships. It’s not as simple and carefree as it use to be when we were teenagers.
Best wishes to you and him!
