And there's this guy there who I really like, and I think he likes me, but we're both quite shy (a reason I've never been good at the guy thing) and I know that if I don't tell him how I feel then I doubt he'll ever say if he likes me. I know guys appreciate a direct approach in these situations..but I'm just wondering how you'd advise me to handle the situation. And this guy is a complete darling; when my light broke he offered me his lamp whilst I waited for the maintainence bloke, he buys me drinks at the bar, he offered me some sauce for when I had a bland dinner, and whenever he needs anything stationary-wise I am the first person whose door he knocks on, and, more importantly, he's admitted to me that he's shy and finds it difficult to talk to people (is that a sign that he trusts me?) . And I know that may just be him being nice, but I know that I'll have to tell him when I go back in Jan or I never will. So how do you guys suggest I tell him that I like him, even if he perhaps doesn't like me in that way back?

Hi OP. Since you guys get to see each other almost everyday why don't you casually ask to hang out with him or something, you could suggest you go to see the latest movie or some local band or sports event or something. You might have to take the initiative. Get to spend time with him outside the hostel or wherever you guys live and get the talking so that you get to know each other better. Being shy myself I would prefer this approach rather than coming out and just teling a guy I liked him out of the blue. Goodluck OP.

Hi,
I completely like your question, because I'm very shy and I would have liked to meet a shy girl like you, but I'm much older and still single.
Here's what you should do:
Try to be nice and sweet to him. It will take some amount of patience from your side, but be rational. Don't assume anything.
Look at this body language. If he looks at you a lot, or leans towards you while talking.
Look at this website:

Finally i think if you believe he is interested in you, you should talk to him honestly if he is interested in being more than a friend.
Have faith and everything will turn out well.
