To all the shy guys:

how do I know if he’s shy or he just doesn’t wanna be talked to? He generally seems like a sweet and nice guy but sometimes he kind of closes up. Like he’s shy. He’s helped me out with some things a couple times, let me say hi to his dog and even joked a little with me about other small things but usually he’s pretty minimal with interaction. It seems genuine but it’s minimal. I can’t help but feel that maybe I should just leave him alone. I mean I don’t bother him up the ass for crying out loud, it’s just that the interactions between us are a little awkward. Because of him not me.

I am generally an outgoing man with most people in most situations, but when it comes to interacting with women to whom I am attracted, I turn into a shy and awkward klutz. I am a kind, decent, affectionate, and passionate person, but getting beyond the fear and shyness keeps me stuck. I want to be outgoing and I don't know how to overcome my shyness. It isn't anything about the women per se. I may like a woman a lot but she can't tell that I want to be "more than friends."

@Byron8by7 im the same way except I’m not outgoing to say the least. He doesn’t seem like he is either. He talks to other coworkers and seems to talk a little more but I think he’s just more comfortable with them because I’m new and he doesn’t know me much. He also just seems shy in general too. I wouldn’t go as far as to say he attracted to me. I guess you never know but I think it’s safe to assume. I get what you’re saying tho :)
