I know that shy guys are the toughest to figure out, but does anyone have any idea to figure out whether or not a shy guy likes you as a just a friend or more than just a friend?

Yeah, those signals would make me pretty positive he's into you. I'm pretty shy, too, and that's a pretty nice summary of how I think I act when I'm around a girl I'm interested in.

Hey, it all sounds good to me. I'll definitely try it out and see how it goes!!!

Right now, the only thing that I've noticed is that when he is just with his friends, he seems relaxed and very comfortable, but once I join them, he all of a sudden changes and he becomes very, um, I guess you can say excited (?) and he can longer relax or feel comfortable and his attitude all together practically changes. Also, when we are with a group of people, he gives me more attention than the other girls and he is constantly teasing me, but once we are by ourselves with no one else around, he becomes so uncomfortable and tense and can't keep still.

But I'm definitely going to keep my eyes open for the rest of this week and see what else I can observe. Thanks for the help!!! :)

as an extremly shy guy myself im aware we're very much a pain in the arse when it comes to being emotionaly understood.

if he likes you, theres no way he'll openly tell you, if hes anything like me he'll get very nervous around you, seemingly trying to please but not trying to be obvious about it. he'll make jokes when your trying to be open because he feels nervous etc.

simply if he likes you, you'll see it in his eyes, the way he looks at you will be all you need. and if your not a very good 'people reader'' just take a shot and ask him out.

its nice to know some of you women actually like us shy types. gives me hope lol

Lilly223 agony auntI love shy guys, always have, always will. Your right, sometimes they are hard to figure out. The first thing you need to do is observe him.... watch his behavior around his friends... does he talk comfortably, joke round, act relaxed? Then you need to compare it to how he behaves around you. If he clams up, and seems to really want to talk to you, but can't find the words...he likes you. Sometimes blushing after recieving a compliment from you is a sign that he likes you too. My suggestion is to simply talk to him, do a little flirting, try to talk to him alone and away from his friends. Ask him alot of questions... yes, you will probably have to carry the conversation at first, but once he starts to feel comfortable and secure... shy guys are awesome boyfriends. I say give it a try, if it doesn't work out, he is proably NOT going to go run his mouth to every one that you like him... it's not in his nature to do that. If he likes you more than a friend, it will take some work, but you will know, he will show you by relaxing around you, and making an effort to spend time with you even when it seems uncomfortable for him to do so. Be patient, don't push, and you will get results. Hope this helps.. get back to me if it works... I'd like to know if my shy guy approach works for someone else... it always worked for me. Lilly
