I like a girl, a shy girl. I can talk to her and stuff easily, no problems with confidence or anything. But If I don't talk to her first, and I don't really keep the conversation going it just stops. It sucks.

How do I get her to open up? How do I get her to feel comfortable around me? She's special, I know that she is. I see her around school and stuff and she does things, and I can tell she's different, as lame ass and faggy as it sounds. I know the capacity to talk and be cool is in her. I can see it in her eyes, plus she's totally at ease around her friends.

PLEASE HELP! I'd really like to hear from some shy girls to understand what would make them feel more comfortable.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well I'm very shy and I see to avoid the guy I like! It's sad I know and I don't know why I do it. Maybe because I'm scared of rejection or something. But really go after her. Ask her out or make a move, it'll make her feel special and she'll love it!

I'm a quiet person, and sometimes when I like a guy I become shy. There is a difference between shy and quiet. I'm never afraid to speak my mind or give an opinion about something, it's just that when it comes to a man I like I get shy about my emotions. I'm not the most talkative person in the beginning either, unless it's with a very talkative and funny guy. I usually don't get very far with a guy that is too serious all the time too. It makes me uncomfortable. Anyway, hope that helps, that's just me anyway.

I am a pretty shy girl when it comes to a crush. But, when the guy I like makes it clear he is interested in me, it makes things much easier and less intimidating - my nerves calm because I don't feel like I'm screwing up every five seconds. I know he is interested and it allows me to open up, crack jokes, and generally just feel comfortable.

Ha! This is exciting because it's exactly how I am! Well I'm just starting to grow out of it but ya. I was often too shy to approach guys and when they started talking to me, I wouldn't know what to say. I enjoy when a guy keeps approaching me, but then I always hope that he comes back but eventually he stops. A shy girl probably won't ever approach you first until she feels comfortable around you. Maybe if you find something you two have in common and talk to her about it, it'll be easier for her to know what to say. The more time you spend talking to her and stuff, the more comfortable she will feel around you and the easier to talk to she will be. What also helps, is to show her your nice side more then a gossiping side of yourself if you have one, and try not to be too confident when you approach her. If she sees that you think she's cool and aren't always totally sure of everything you say and do, it will be easier for her to talk to you. Show her that you care about what she has to say etc. Hope this helps!

I'm not a particularly shy girl. I'm just a tiny bit shy around my crushes. But who isn't? I agree with many of the others who answered. A funny man would be appreciated in a way that wouldn't make her feel uncomfortable. Who doesn't like funny? If the conversation is awkward, try to find something that is your "thing" that you can always bring up. Like an inside joke or a comment. Also, if you start to get more comfortable, ask her for her phone number and send random texts during the day. There's nothing better than being appreciated. Also, don't try to talk to her like she's a shy girl. Treat her not like one of your boys, but like a good friend. Right off the bat she'll get a hint that you'll want to pursue her.

I'm a really shy girl and this happen to me a lot of times. If you really want to talk to her always asker what she thinks about things there you will start a conversation and believe me you can go on and on. To me this happen when I am talking with a cute guy because I have guy friends and this don't happen. Just ask her about anything or make her laugh with some comment that you make that will make her feel relaxed and definitely she will keep talking then you can be surprised that she just won't stop.

I'm a shy girl and trust me it sucks SO much. I'm outgoing and crazy when I'm with people I know, but whenever I'm around a guy I have feelings for I get choked up.

To get her to be less shy, find stuff that she likes to talk about. Ask her things about herself. Not too personal, just stuff like where's she from, where she grew up, what kind of music she likes, does she play an interest, what kind of movies does she like, what's her favorite subject in school... then you can ask her questions that involve her opinion. Start if with a fact: "This is that. I think...." and then ask: "What do you think?"

Be yourself and don't try too hard to get her to talk. Let her open up to you when she's ready. Having a great sense of humor helps. If you have one, awesome. Use it to your advantage. Laughter breaks the ice no matter what and it'll make her feel more comfortable.

Good luck! I hope I was helpful! =D

If you really like her it shouldn't matter that she's shy, but I can totally understand why'd you'd want her to talk more. Since you know she's shy don't force her to be open with you right away. I used to be really shy, but I grew out of it. She just needs some self confidence and you can give it to her! You don't have to overly compliment her or anything, just don't judge and be easy going.

If you say that she acts different around you than with her other friends, than that probably means she likes you. Because girls always act different around the guy they like.

I'm not shy so I don't really know what a shy girl wants. umm maybe try to find out what her interests are and when you talk to her, talk to her about that stuff. she will get more open around you. again I'm not sure. but try it.

there is a really good website that helps you uncode things like these. it's called links2love.com.
go on google and put links2love and just play around there. hope I helped.

and if you have time can you please answer my question.
GOOD LUCK!

" I can tell she's different, as lame ass and faggy as it sounds."

Lol! Sorry, but that just cracked me up. :) It's not lame or faggy to genuinely like a girl, cool real men should always have the balls to say how they really feel and aren't worried what other people think.

Now, for your question. I have been in your exact shoes before. I was dating a girl and I felt like I was pulling teeth just to get a complete sentence from her. Conversation should be a two way sharing of thoughts and ideas, but sometimes people (especially shy ones sometimes) can feel like being outgoing is like performing on a scary stage, and they would rather just be part of the quiet audience than say something embarrassing. So you just have to get used to being the star of the show and get the audience involved.

You have to carry things and make her comfortable by continuing to give her good feelings in the conversation and sharing yourself. Ask her questions about things she is interested in and slowly get her used to sharing with you more and enjoying it. Don't make her feel bad when she shares something personal or important to her, this will just increase her shyness and being unsure of herself. Make her laugh, and do things you both like together to make her feel used to you and at ease (time helps here).

Heck, make friends with her friends so if they accept you and trust you (be real here, don't fake anything or try to use them. Girls are very intuitive and smart and will spot you as a fake), you will be part of the social circle and you'll should have no problems then. This experience will just make you better socially (like exercising social muscles). Have fun with it. :)
