Do girls like shy guys?

Definitely. If you want to meet someone, you can take it in small steps and attempt to just be a friend, not a potential boyfriend. Just be careful not to stay TOO long in the "Friend Zone". It's hard to break from that place. It CAN be done, but it's tough work. (Google it for tips. )

Lots of shy guys (or gals) are sensitive to other people's needs/emotions because they are so sensitive to their own. I think that's really cool and can end up creating a great relationship as long as the shy guy (or gal) learns to trust their partner and communicate. What's really rough is when a shy guy and a shy gal get together. One has to learn to take the lead. Until you arrive at that point, it can be nerve-wracking.

I'm also a very shy person; I don't open up to anyone right away and that gives people the wrong impression; however, when you get to know me, I'm very amiable (I think) and am a good friend. So, I'll answer your question with a question: Do guys like shy girls? It depends on the person. If someone takes the time to get to know you and approaches you even though you're "closed off" then they like you. If they don't, they may be intimidated or think you don't like them. If you really like someone, but they're too nervous to approach you first, then you need to get over your shyness and make a move. Go talk to them; initiate something if you think they're worth it.

Perhaps your body language suggests you are closed off - and therefore difficult to approach. Do you cross your arms a lot? Do you find keeping a distance between people when you are sitting down? When you are introduced to someone, do you just "hi" and then stop focusing on them as you continue talking to a friend - or do you try to include them in the conversation? Even with a little bit of eye contact. When you sit down, do you sit back and stretch your legs out (this posture is sometimes really cocky). Do you stand with your chest pushed out (this also shows a bit of cockiness). Do you turn your body and face when someone is speaking to you. Show a little bit of expression when they talk (ie. Slight smile, shining/blinking eyes) or do you look utterly bored? Do you use your hands a little bit when you talk? - People are going to approach if you show 'positive' body language. That is key. You don't have to sit their with a huge smile on your face, but try to take observe the room (look around) - find a place to situate yourself (maybe near someone who is talkative or likes to include other in conversation). This shows you are interested. Their is nothing wrong with not talking too much right off the bat. Sometimes its refreshing to have a conversation with someone who isn't overly talkative, aggressive, or showing-off. Most of all "look" as though you are ready & willing to engage in a conversation with someone. If you come across cocky, 'know-it-all' that can be an immediate turn-off. Usually then the person just feels embarrassed or worst thinks they are boring/uninteresting. Body language is key for shy people -- because they express themselves mostly through body language before anything else. Good luck shy guy!

OMG. I'm a pretty good judge of character, and I love it when I can see how shy a guy is but he thinks no one knows. I LOVE SHY GUYS. They're adorable. I don't know about other girls, but I think a lot of them do too. My problem is, I'm shy, too, so when I like a shy guy, even if I can tell he likes me too, nothing ever gets done because both of us are too shy to make the first move. :S lol. Anyway, best of luck to you.

Confidence should grow with age and shyness can turn a woman on. Personally I have never gone for the outgoing types, I find shy minds more interesting, just remember to smile!

"A wise man has something to say, a fool *has* to say something"

That proverb pretty much echoes what deadwait said. It's ok to be quiet, but when you do start talking to a woman, just let it all hang out and enjoy the conversation. Then they will realize you're not inept, you just choose to reserve yourself. A lot of women who didn't seem interested in me at all start talking to me and then I notice they become very interested. Even those women just eavesdropping perk up! LOL

Good luck in your searches. Just remember not to get depressed over being shy, and try to look at it in a different way. "I'm not so shy, I just prefer to speak when I feel it is necessary to do so. " Also, start saying hello randomly to people. Even those you have no reason to talk to. Breaking the ice like that to total strangers will be good practice for that one time you'll need the confidence to say hello to the pretty girl.

I used to be shy, and girls always were inclided to start talking to me. Usually the smart ones. As they would say, its always the quiet guys that have the most thoughts.

Now I am very alpha and out-going - I meet a lot more girls - but most of them aren't worth the time. The opposite of before. Its also very demanding being out going as you constantly have to lead, which every now and then is tiring

I think its best to be a blend of both

Cheers

I use to be shy myself and I was having trouble getting girls but once I came out of my shell I had no problems talking to girls but yea some girls like shy guys but how would they know if your interested if your not going to express your feelings. When your outspoken and more open it brings out your personality so I say get more involved!
