Before school got out this summer, I gave this shy guy my phone number. I know that he likes me because I have been reading his body language. He is very shy, and was homeschooled. I'm just wondering if he will call me. What is he waiting for? Will he call me if he likes me? I was thinking about going with some friends to the deli he works at. Is that a good idea?
Speaking from experience (home schooled 3y and then dumped into public school) I think you have the right idea. Go to where he works and ask him when is he going to call you (friends are a must that way he isn't going to feel backed into a corner). You know it's really weird when your home schooled very little social interaction. It wasn't until my senior year that I finally came out of my shell in HS (They had no idea what they were in for! ). He will probably be nervous to the point he is freaking out. This is one of those situations where you need to take the reigns and drive it home. He will be shy about everything. I was taught dating edicut from the 1950's! Wow that was embarrassing. I even thought that once you kissed a girl you were automatically going out! So for this you need to be patient w/him and make the first moves. Make sure you are 100% clear though about what the moves mean.
When you go into the deli be flirty get your friends in on it. Make any guys you may bring back off from you while there. Most of all get him to promise that he will call you that night.
Yes. Go to the deli with your friends to buy a sandwich don't go just to go. If you see him he won't talk much because he will be embarrassed but say hi to him. He will say hi back but probably won't talk much because he's at work and doesn't want to get in trouble. Try talking to the other people that work there too. That will get him a little jealous because all your attention is not on him. When you leave say thank you looking straight at him and walk out. He will check you out most likely and have a good feeling inside. If he was home schooled he doesn't have the advantage many people that go to public schools do of being social with people. He basically has a shield over him and you just have to talk to him about things he likes so that he will reveal himself and be more comfortable talking to you.
Well since you already gave him ur number he needs to take the next step and call you. He is probably like freaking out about what to say and that it may be awkward or something on the phone. Yeah I think going there w/ur friends is a good idea so maybe he knows that you are kinda tryin to tell him that you want to be with him...u know? Ask him if he wants to hang out with you and ur friends after work? So instead of just the 2 of you talking (probably weird for him)...him and you and ur friends can all talk, so he will be more comfortable. Good Luck ?
