Shy guys

ok guys explain yourselves. us women, people like myself and lozza are confused by your behavior. we also find it difficult to communicate with you we cannot tell if you like us and are shy , or are not interested. when women like us make moves on shy guys, and they dont do it back we cant tell if it is because they are shy. so c'mon, explain yourselves. what do you want us to do to make you less shy?

and women, what do you think of shy guys? what do you do about it?

please men, have some confidence!

I just need to get comfortable with people, in general. Once I'm more relaxed talking to someone, I'm less shy. Obviously.

i have no time for shy guys. i mean, at first maybe it's kinda sweet but after a while it's just plain annoying and highly unneccessary. You have balls, pick em up.

hehe - some guys just aren't good at talking to girls, even if they know exactly what they want to say and how they want to say it. it just doesn't come out properly. even me - a self-confessed shy guy - don't know why.
Shyness can be endearing at first, but it depends on how it manifests in a person. If someone doesn't look at you and wont talk to you when you try and talk to them, then I kind of assume they're being rude/aren't interested. If I'm feeling shy around a man I giggle a bit (which is embarrassing but it just comes out without asking) and blush a bit but I smile and talk as well. If you're trying to talk to someone and they give one word answers it's really annoying - you try so hard to talk and it's tiring. But then afterwards people tell you that he really liked you - so why didn't he talk to me? :frown: So yeah, shyness is sweet when you first meet someone, as long as they can have the courage to smile/talk (I'm really not that scary)

...shyness is sweet when you first meet someone...


issat so...<scribbling furiously>
Same goes for women, we had this debate about playing games and so on earlier.

No man can speak for his gender, nor woman for hers.
girls can be just as shy though, i know i am and its damn annoying being the shy one 2 too!

I can just about cope with shy... but when that converts to frigidness...grrr. :mad:

I once dated this shy guy who had liked me for a yr then he was too shy to even hold my hand or kiss... I mean wtf?!?!?!?!?!?! Then he was suprised and upset when I told him I didn't think it was working. sigh. :rolleyes:

whats the difference, shy guys? how do we tell if you are uninterested, shy or just plain rude?

and why do you give one word answers? how do we stop you from doing this?

if you like a girl, how do we tell?

Your really funny :rolleyes: NOT!!

Im shy and theres no chance i will ever be gay. I would rather be single for the rest of my life than be gay ... its just wrong :eek:

Im only shy to start with, at least i think so :p:
I like shy guys! I just find it easier to talk to them, maybe cos im shy myself. Usually, once you get to know them and show that they like you they relax around you and can be really funny, sensitive, anything you really want! Its just hard to get to that stage when you're both shy!

I for one will act interested no matter what you say basicly.

Oh yeah, I agree. How do you reckon that? Really? How interesting!

Works like a charm :P women can go on, and on and on and on and on and ... yeah you get the picture

More important, I seek eye-contact. But no it won't be easy knowing if a guy likes you or not. Just assume it and act all confused if he doesn't then move on to the next guy :smile:
