i dont mind them, i seem to be able to ease them out of their shell. Though i am a bit shy myself, but im no where near as bad i used to.
I prefer shy guys. Why? What happened for you to use that sad face?
I've always had difficulty when talking to girls. I've never had a girlfriend or even had a close friend who was female.

I hope girls do. I am really shy when it comes to getting to know people, but once I get to know them I am very easy going.

I used to quite shy once but now most of my best friends are guys. As for shy guys, I can kind of relate to what their difficulty might be.. which is how I manage to bring them out of their shell.
If you are really concerned about this, why don't you sign up for some group activities or society events- some hiking club, or dancing classes. I first got over my shyness when I temped as a receptionist which meant that I couldn't afford to be shy! Maybe you can do something similar?
I get on better with shy guys than louder guys. I'm shy myself but around other shy people I'm less shy, as they tend to accept me more as who I am rather than trying to get me to talk loads. x

Same as me (but opposite way round!)

I can sit down with anyone and start chatting away, unless they are cute, then i'm just hopeless :frown:

I think its better to be shy than arrogant like a lot of blokes I know.
It can only be a hindrance several months into a relationship (if it progresses that far) and he still cant feel confident around me.
Im pretty sure all shy guys once they become close to a girl are fine!!

I'm indifferent to shy people. It just means you'd have to get to know them better. There's a funny stereotype associated with shy guys - that they are more genuine, nicer, more sensitive. I'm not sure how true this is but if that is the case then yes I prefer shy guys. I doubt it is though. Maybe "shy guys" don't really have the opportunity to be anything but nice.

Oh yup, I met some really nice shy guys at the other place & I really wondered how come they exist- in the sense that they were so sensitive, sweet, caring... straight out of some romance novel (not the knight in shining armour type though!).
well yeah i'm not good around people i don't know well, but just like people to be friendly really, don't mind if they're shy, prefer not over the top loud people

Well as long as they are not overly shy (as in, they can't even form a complete sentence in front of you).
Shy, confident but with a touch of humility is good :smile:
I don't like guys that are too full of themselves, and think that they are the centre of the universe.
Not really, it's a bit of a turn off having to drag a conversation out of someone. Charisma - good, cockiness - not so good!
Well I like boys to talk to me, be upfront, act confident etc, so not really... having said that, loud guys? No thanks.
Im shy when it comes to talking to girls but there is one girl at work who i seem to get along with very well. I cant tell if she likes me but we seem to get on. Not sure how i can let her know how i feel.
