writes: I wrote a post on here some time ago, but just wanted to post an update really about this girl who I really like, I'm 22 and she's about the same age, she lives near me but she seems to be very shy, she is obsessed with the gym (that's where I first saw her) and goes there virtually every day and in about 9 months I have never seen her with any mates, so she seems a bit of a loner from what I can tell and maybe shy, perhaps from the way she walks with her head looking to the floor and that. Anyway I sent her a valentines card and then I went up to her in the street and said hi and that it was from me (bravest thing I've ever done!), she seemed really nice but rushed off as if she was really shy and didn't know how to react. Since then I've seen her quite a lot, either on her own or with her mum (who she seems very close with), there always seems to be really strong eye contact, but she never seems to smile but sometimes I don't smile at her, I try to but nerves get the better of me:( Thing is cos she's so shy and seems a bit of a loner, I think the whole "someone likes her" has come out of the blue and surprised her and shes not quite sure how to react. I think if she wasn't at all interested in any way (even gaining just a friendship) she wouldn't keep looking, and I have walked past her twice in the street and said hi to which she has replied hiya back in a really nice (but quiet) way. I know I need to take the plunge and talk but I am so nervous and hope you can understand that. But I just wonder if she may be interested or not. What are the symptoms of shyness? I'd appreciate any views or advice, thanks
