so anyways I met this guy at a party where he asked me for my number after how alike we were. My friend talked to him and he seemed pretty interested in me. We text basically everyday and our convos our pretty flirty. The weird thing is he is a nice guy who as he admits has trouble having conversations with girls.
we hung out on friday with some friends and he was acting strange and nervous with me. I understand because it was the first time he saw me after the party. Also it makes me upset because he is not so good with initiating things he never texts me firsts or makes effort in asking to hang out. I know he really likes me and I like him too but if he doesn't make a move soon I feel as if I'm going to move on from him when really I don't! can anyone suggest any ideas that I can say or do to fix my situation with this guy?


Update: do you think I should wait until he texts me or should I just text him back?
im scared if I don't text him I will loose him.    3 months ago

The mentality of a shy guy is rooted in his confidence. He's shy because he's probably inexperienced and not sure how to talk to you or what to say that won't make him look bad. If you show a little awkwardness it puts him at ease knowing that he's not the only one. Take a step outside your comfort zone and think about how uncomfortable you would be with something you've never tried before and use that insight to help you deal with giving him the little push he needs to make a move.

It's hard to say for sure without knowing you or this guy. That said, if a guy's biggest problem is simply that he's shy, he'll probably respond well to any kind of encouragement. Showing that you're interested (without being super-pushy about it) usually makes him more likely to respond.

I'd say go ahead and text or call him - you're "putting yourself out there" and risking rejection, but so what? If he responds to your efforts, you're helping him deal with his shyness. If he doesn't, then at least you tried and it's his loss.

Its weird, some guys lack confidence so they don't walk up to the girl, but this guy did, I assume. It looks like he just needs some confidence, try telling him you really like him, and that he's great or something. Tell him little things to boost his confidence level, give it a little more time and see if he changes.

Answerer If you have fear of losing him, text him first. But don't make it a habit, it takes two to make a relationship work, don't keep being the initiator, he has to start of some conversations too. - 3 months ago

Well I think you shuld still just txt him baq I kno how you feel. You kno he likes you and you kno you lik him. Well keep on being yourself. Try givin him confident boosts and just hang in there. He sounds lik a realy great guy. And I could tell you reallyyy don't want to loose him. So just keep in mind that he's shy and you want to so you care and I think that would make him get more confident. Well good luck and I hope I helped! ^_^
