I have this problem since high school. When there's a boy who shows interest in me, and I dropped a little hint back as a sign that im interested, things always go south. They stared at me, they tells joke, they smiled at me, waved at me but all of this stopped whenever i started giving back hints. am i the one who are taking all the signs wrongly or is it my hints?well, i usually just stared at them back but never actually greet them because i was too shy with guys.and whenever they stared at me, i just stared at them back and then looked at another place. well, where did i do wrong?

I used to have the same problem too. This changed recently, when I got the nerve to confront a flirting coworker and I asked him out (casual date of course). Now, this doesn't always work, but it lets the guy know you're really serious about persueing some sort of relationship with them. Typically, guys don't like it when you flirt back and don't do much else about it-flirting back too long just shows a guy that you're either 1) sexually promiscuous and just want to have a one night stand with him, or 2) you're playing games and some even go to the extent that they think you may be mocking them. Another trick you could try is to not acknowledge the guy about his flirting, at all. If he really is interested, he himself may make the first move and ask you on a date. If this particular guy is shy, then you'll have to be the first one to take that step, but if he's not, then the opposite is true. I hope this helps

I think you should greet them too.

Being friendly is a good quality to show the one you fancy.

I think its better than shying away each time you see someone you fancy.

I know its quite hard but just be yourself and get friendly to whoever you fancy.

A simple hello... to someone you fancy is better than walking facing west because of shyness.

I dont like it when I like someone and I know they like me too but just walk past me just because they 're too shy.

Introduce yourself. Confidence actually does something.
