I'm a really a shy person, and I've been made fun of a lot in the past so I'm kinda paranoid when guys are nice to me. I always think it's a joke and that they're out to make fun of me. I freeze around guys I like because I don't wanna say anything stupid, so even if they're flirting I'm too scared to flirt back. Some examples: there was this guy who was saying we should study together and hanging around offering help when there was another guy helping me and other stuff(too many details). And another guy asked out of the blue if I was wearing perfume and I was surprised so I said 'yeah why? ' because I thought it was giving him a headache, and I wasn't very appreciative and he said 'oh I like it, its nice of you to smell good for me'
I realized my mistake and tried to fix it, by iming them and asking basically meaningless questions, just to start a convo so they'd open up. At what point will a guy give up on chasing a shy girl? Is all hope lost with these guys in the example?
If a guy really likes you then it will be a long time before he does give up on you, most women are shy to a point, just give us a chance you can usually tell when we're making fun of you or if we're being sincere if we're making fun of you we usually don't try and hide it and there's another guy laughing his ass off somewhere cause that's his friend making fun of you, but some men arn't completely like that or not at all, with the perfume thing we don't usually notice it or say something about it unless we like you, if we go out of our way for you in some way it either mean 1 we're usually like that and chivalry hasn't completely died out or 2 we like you and want to get to know you better, we don't take nicely to bad reactions though, if you do something like that we'll be immediately put off or if we really like you just back off for awhile and try to find a better time cause maybe your not feeling the greatest that day or we'll like apologize, be wary though cause some of them may just want to get in your pants so be careful about who you try to be with. Hope this helps=)
Just go with the flow, contrary to your past experiences, there are nice people in the world. And as you get older you'll realize the whole serious teasing and making fun and laughing at you ends. Why? Because people mature. If a guy compliments you on your perfume, then he's interested. No way would a guy say your perfume is giving him a headache, I think you need to grow up a little and realize that you're attractive and that guys want you. Don't send meaningless text messages, send flirty and then later semi-sexual text messages. "Yeah I smelled good for you, so why don't you try and smell good for me? Oh I forgot you only like shower once a week. " Now that's flirting. Just do it, no one is out to get you, okay I lied maybe sexually but you'll have to deal with that (hey it's not my fault that guys lust after you okay). Just act natural and smile a lot, guys like that. Also, dress the part, you sound like you dress shy as well (you cover up) so take off some of that clothing (show them what you're working with: short shorts, skirts, etc. ) and strut your stuff. Do this and you'll be picking jaws up off the floor and typing in your digits to many cell phones :)
Ok well I'm kinda new here and I would like to say if all these guys are asking you these things then yeah they are interested! Don't freeze, just let it go, like the perfume thing. Lol if I was a girl I would say no that's just my natural smell. Guys love that! We love that smell if we ask, and and can't stop smelling its good! Us guys are simple if we ask, we really wanna know, and if we talk to you we naturally wanna get to get to know you, but let the questions ride some guys wanna get to you just to have sex with you, I'm not the type I just never found a good woman, and I'm really. I'm shy too, I'm just like you around girls, I. Ok. I'm a virgin. And 21 enough said. I just hope to find a good one.
You need to realize that guys are VERY SIMPLE. If we go out of our way to smile, talk to, or hang out with you, there's a 99% chance that we think you're cute. But if we don't get some kind of positive feedback from you, then we think that you don't like us, and we move on. We can't read minds, ESPECIALLY a girl's mind. Is it too late? No, of course not. It's ok to be shy, but really get to know the guy, make sure he' s a good one, before you like him.
