He may be interested, but is scared of what may happen in the future when he accepts your friend request. It may take him some time to process if he’s confident of accepting your friend request. Since he’s been ignoring you lately and not looking at you. He’s probably shy and nervous since you’ve been noticing him. Sometimes, boys would think in their heads “she doesn’t like me.. i cant even get the guts to talk to her.” I recommend you to talk to him in person so he can be more comfortable around you and start to be himself and not be afraid of doing his flirting tricks and charms around you. Go get him!
