Schizophrenic guys - how do you act when you really like a g

So I've been working with this guy (who has schiz) for about 6 months now. I am pretty sure he liked me from the begining. Anyway I have developed strong feelings for him over this period and there are time when he will flirt with me when he is not busy and then there are those times (which happen often) when he will be almost apathetic and non emotional - which I know is part of schiz.
But the thing is it can be such a dramatic shift, and to be on the receiving end makes me question if indeed he does like me or not?

So what I want to know is even in that state of being zoned out and tired etc- would you still find a girl attractive in front of you- or would you not even notice?

We work in this golf store and he talks to customers all day but you can see he has to push himself.

He most possibly likes you. My reasoning?

Well lets start with the obvious shall we

He's with you, He still flirts with you, He still spends time with you.

Now lets look into the not so obvious.

Like you've said, his apathy and emotional detachment is most likely the "schiz" as you put it, and yes this can often be a very dramatic change in some people, so you just have to bare with him on that one I'm afraid.

Whilst I understand that when he feels tired and zoned out, he might not notice you as much or be interested in some of the intimacy that he's shared with you before, but what you have to understand is that during these times it can be very difficult for him for him to connect with what's going on around him as him mind is not functioning properly.

As for him pushing himself at the store when serving customers. That must be difficult for him, but at least he has someone like you in his life that he doesn't have to pretend with. It seems to me like he feels that he can just be himself around you which is usually a very good tell tale sign that he really trusts you.

If you're still not convinced, then perhaps you should sit down with him and talk about your concerns privately. In the mean time, I would suggest you educate yourself on his condition so that you could better understand him and maybe even acquire the knowledge to him him through it.

Good luck Bluey

Well you can always ask someone straight away. I find the best way is to just bring up conversation with the person, develop some rapport for at least a few days, and then ask before you move into more of a friend like relationship. It's been a while for me on this though. There was a time when girls liked me. Then I got schizophrenia, it took me a couple of years to recover. Once I did, no one liked me anymore. It was the first time in my life I had no friends. I asked girls out, and they said no. It's not like I did anything to make people dislike me, I just became a loner. I was trying to get my head right after being a very bad spot for some time. Anyway, at this point I'm not really even looking to date, I figure this is just another one of the perks of being schizophrenic.

Don't let that sour your mood though. If you like this person, my suggestion is to try to change the way your conversations go. Try to either get more intimate, or draw the persons attraction in another way. Just an opinion, anyway, not like I'm an expert at this point.
