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.
