i've been trying to find a girlfriend for my very shy friend. But they won't go out with him just because he is shy. He thinks women don't like shy men that they want confident men. He thinks he wasting his time trying because he is shy.

I love quiet men. I look and wonder what is lurking underneath. I have always found,they are different when alone,never fail to make better friends, more faithful and never fail to excite. Its true that the quiet ones are the worst(said with a cheesy smirk).

VenaCava agony auntHmm...

That is rather difficult indeed. Some women feel more comfortable if the man started the conversation first.

How about if you train your friend to be more confident? There are some self help books out there for shy men to give them more confidence.

Tell your friend that he doesn’t need to completely change his personality. A little bit of confidence to start a conversation and then just be himself.

Many women are feeling safe around shy men and some of them love the shyness too.

Does he like sport? Art? Nature? Joining a club can be good for him too. Being surrounded by different people with same interest can be his first step to open up.

He can also join friendship forums to know many people from different back ground.

Confidence can be trained, and you as a friend can be his best supporter.

Not all woman want bold bulshy characters. Shy is not a bad thing at all....

He might have to work on the confidence thing as no one likes having a conversation where they feel like they're pulling teeth. But i'm sure shy works for most of us...who wants a loud mouth.

Good luck to your friend x x x
