How do I get a shy guy to talk to me?

being a shy guy myself. just smile and be friendly to him.. no cold should "play hard to get" kinda thing.

Hint study buddy :) that will work. This was the same thing was with my girlfriend. But now she is open and no longer shy with me. I mean she is shy knowing people, but once she gets to know you she ain't stopping.

Anyways, study buddy will work. It will open him up and eventually during the study yall will want to go out and eat lunch :)

You can see you just like I can right? You're super cute. Some shy guy who can't work up the nerve to approach you himself would likely be absolutely elated that you decided to be forward with him and go against traditional gender roles. Just walk up to him and tell him you think he's cute too. It's simple, but it will work.

Oh my goodness! I have this same problem. I sit in front of a girl in one of my classes and I want nothing more but to talk to her. I'll think of things to say but then I'll get to class and it'll be super awkward because everyone is quiet. And since I have to turn around to talk, it's like she can never initiate conversation if she wanted to unless she like poked me in the back or something.

Here's my advice. One thing to do is to talk about the class you're in.
"Hey, how did you do on that last test? It was killer wasn't it?"
Get his attention early as he walks into class or something of that nature.
Get better with small-talk and work your way up. He'll probably be thrilled that you say hi to him every day.

Play coy but assertive.

Hey so your friend says you think I'm hot.

I think your interesting and I think we should hang out like a date.

What do like to do

Sounds great meet you there ill wear something sexy.. wink wink

Hmm I think I would go for something simpler on initiating a conversation. Just ask him something about that history class (it does not even matter if you do know what you ask, just be sure that he knows about it) and then you may continue like "how do you like this class?", etc. Don't complicate things :)

Well for starters, if that is you in your profile then the main thing is keep doing what you're doing because you are hot. And secondly, it is quite easy to start a conversation. Just tap him on the shoulder, give a note with your phone number on it, and then ask if he wants to go have coffee sometime and then bam, he will say yes (because of thing number 1) and just talk to him about whatever

I'm an extremely shy guy as well so I feel I can add some persepective to this too. If he's as shy as me, he's probably too shy and intimidated to approach you, so if you're interested in him you'll have to initiate contact. Just start up a casual conversation, ask him about his interests, tell him about yours, and provide him with an opening to ask you out at some point. He's shy, but not completely ignorant. Chances are, if he's interested in you, he's constantly trying to figure out how to talk to you, but doesn't know how, which results in him not talking. I do the same exact thing. If you're interested in him, try to be patient, drop some subtle hints, and if all else fails, ask him out. There's no shame in it, my first girlfriend asked me out because I was too nervous around her lol and we had an amazing relationship. Good luck :)

"pretty large pencil you got there ;)"

Collect information on him. See if he looks at you and observe his body language. The girls I talk to just asked me anything and everything. Usually girls ask me where I got my contacts or about my clothes. It usually doesn't matter though. What you're talking about isn't important. Just ask him his name and I'm sure he'll be happy you're talking to him and you'll both go from there.

talk about yourself. I know you girls love talking so talk about something you like and maybe ask his opinion on something. You'll just have to keep talking maybe not necessarily asking a bunch of stuff about him cause that might overwhelm him but just general stuff like current events. The idea is just to show some interest a little bit at a time and be friendly and get him to open up to you. If he feels comfortable with you he'll talk to you. I'm probably not much help, it's been a long day but hopefully I helped a little bit and gave you a serious answer:)

a girl doesn't have to do much to break the ice as compared to what a guy does

honestly I use to be shy alot..not anymore XD but a lot of the women I did hang with always had a hobby we shared together,whether it was an album that just came out drinking but no girlie stuff I shy guy will not bite has to be something balanced in between you two

kick him in the balls with sexy feet.

1. Don't tell him you found out that someone told you about him saying you are cute. That's a good way to scare him because he will feel guilty and embarrassed due to that clearly being a secret. Wait until you two really know each because you try something like that.

2.Just talk with him like you would anyone else just start a small chat like talk about the class or your day. Don't talk about anything negative one of the worst things you could do when talking to shy people is talk about something negative.

3.Don't try to boost up your sex appeal or try to make yourself to appear even more pretty at first. What I mean don't boost your good looks more to get his attention. A shy guy will more likely get more shy if he see you are really really attractive. Be your everyday self but don't try to go above and beyond for him.

4.Become friends with him first don't go into the dating thing. He will open up if you give him time.

5.I'm also somewhat shy maybe not as shy as him but you should at least take some of my advice. lol

hi! girl! I find that the guy have already feeling with you ,but I think you had better restrained.and you can have dinner first! or a movie!

Just say hi and talk to him

Maybe ask about something related to class at first? saying ANYTHING breaks the biggest patch of ice...then maybe make one comment or so and build on that

You women are wimps. Just ask him out.

Equality is what you want. Equality is what you get.

You don't make anyone do anything, you take the initiative.

You are wasting time, if you think he is worth it, go for it and initiate a conversation. What can you lose?

"Hey, Hi, I'm stardazzleblonde."

You'd be surprised at how well that works.

Talk to him about whatever might be a common interest.

"What do you think of JJ Abrams directing the new Star Wars movies?"

"What species do you think Kim K is going to have? Alien?"

"Who are you rooting for in the Superbowl?"

Just get him talking. The more you talk to each other, the more comfortable you'll be with each other.

Shy people love it when cute girls ask them questions; it makes them feel interesting, helps them break out of their shell.
But that's if he really is shy, he could just think you're cute but not feel the need to talk to you.
Lots of people think I'm shy cause I don't talk much, but I just have nothing to say to them.

Either way, if you're interested, just go up to him and ask him about himself, then later just do it again, until you're hanging out often, trade numbers, maybe even go out.

One thing is for sure, you can't WAIT for him to talk to you.

Tell him that he better start talking to his new girlfriend b4 she breaks up with him. When he gets a bewildered look upon his face point to yourself, smile and say duh

Hi, usually about does it...

If you're too afraid to even start with "hi" then just have your friend do it or something...group settings are usually easier any way

Small talk about the class. Some shy guys will open right up once ice is broken. You can be awkward, sometimes that shows your interested. Shy people tend to be more shy the more they like someone.

You don't look 25...

You'll just have to start the conversation. If he is as shy as I was (and still kind of am) he probably won't take the risk. Trust me, he won't know what to say either. It will be awkward the first time you guys talk no matter what, you just have to get it over with.

The key with shy people is persistence. Just have nice, normal conversations every time you see him until he is comfortable and confident enough to carry the conversation and look you in the eyes. After that you can flirt with him a little, just don't be too aggressive until you know he is ready.

Don't worry about being put in the friend zone or anything like that. A shy guy would NEVER frieindzone a girl he thinks is cute.

Have you talked with him at all already? Like, do you know each others' names?

u don't just be your self and just say hello ever now and than and its his choice to talk if not don't worry he will talk to you when he wants to talk

aw well he's quite the lucky guy!
I think just being supportive/encouraging if he decides to speak to you, will help him build his confidence. Smiling and showing that you're interested in the conversation, helps alot. If he's really shy then perhaps you should be the one to break the ice with him. You could say hi and immediately follow up with a question regarding to the class, an observation or an opinion.
You don't have to do a whole ton, the little things you do will add up (I think) and hopefully he'll control his nerves and make a move.

thinking that things are awkward only makes it worse for both of you. You attitude towards what's going on between you two is not as discrete as you think.

A simple "Hey, how's it going?" is often quite an effective convo starter, just try to find something in common to talk about or ask him to help you out with something, just have a normal convo

Message him on Facebook or get his number and text him. I'm shy and when I'm talking to people I don't know that well and still feel shy around (especially someone I like) then I feel more comfortable doing it through fb or text first until I get to know them better. It just makes me less nervous, and then there's no awkward pauses and I don't have to try to think of what to say to the person I barely know. If you don't have his number and one or both of you guys don't have a fb, then tell him that you need help with something for the class and then ask for his number. Text/message him and ask a question about class, then when he answers say thanks and then say something about the class. You could talk about how hard it is, how boring your teacher is, how scary your teacher is, bring up a funny time in class, or anything that could start a conversation. With this, you could bring up other stories. Like if you guys are talking about how weird your teacher is then you could tell him about another weird teacher you have/had and share a funny story, and then maybe he'll have one to share too. I think that's the best way to start a conversation casually. Then you just have to try to keep it going. Ask him questions about himself so you get to know him, and respond with something about yourself too so he knows you better too and will know what to talk about with you. Try to find a common interest and talk about it. At school, try to be friendly and warm towards him. If you act too out there or bubbly/loud, it could make him feel uncomfortable. Smile at him, laugh when he says something funny, let him know that you enjoy talking to him. There are different reasons why a person can be shy. I think I covered: feeling uncomfortable, not knowing what to talk about, and insecurities so far. Keep those in mind when you talk to him so you don't make him feel less shy. Maybe compliment him on his shirt or something too so he feels more confidant about himself. He's also more likely to compliment you if you compliment him first. And if he doesn't talk to you in person right away, don't worry, just wait. Depending on how shy he is or how comfortable you make him feel, he might have to get to know you better through messaging/text first until he talks to you in person more. If you see him around school, say hi to him and smile so he can gradually get more used to being around you and to talking to you. Also try joining his conversation with his friend. I feel more comfortable when I'm around my friends, so if I meet someone while I'm with my friends, I'm more likely to be open to that person and less shy. That might work with him too, so join their conversation so he'll continue talking and feel less nervous.
