I am a great guy. And am attractive to women or so they say. If that's so, why don't they just come up to me and ask me for a date? I am a shy guy until I get to know you. I just hope I don't get too old at this. I'm already 30. Help me out ladies.
Just try being more confident and asking more women out. As much as women don't like to admit it, most of us are pretty old fashion. We want guys to ask us out. You are a cute guy, and if you are a nice one please don't change. I am sure you will meet the woman of your dreams!
You should make the first move. I never approach guys or make the first move no matter how great he is. I was raised that if a guy is truly interested he will put in work.
Some girls are really into the nice guys. I am. Don't give up. The right attitude goes a long way. Feel good about yourself. Be attentive to the ladies you fancy. Watch to see if she is giving you a hint. I just had a nice guy show me some attention and I knew he was shy so(finally) I decided that I needed to give him a hint. Woo Hoo. He took the hint and I am pumped! Hang in there kid!
I've always been taught that it's important to let the guy take the lead. Most of us women are insecure about what a guy feels for us and it's worse if we feel like we're chasing you. From my experience with shy guys, you need us to take the lead to feel confident enough to come out of your shell. But you have to understand it's hard for us to feel secure that you're into us if you're not the one doing the pursuing. If you notice a girl is giving you the vibe but not making the first move, you have to bite the bullet but don't be afraid to be honest. Let her know you're a shy guy. One thing I ask for sake of the rest of us women who date great guys like you, don't hesitate to tell us how you really feel. A shy guy can be very hard to read, especially if you're the type to be a bit withdrawn because you don't want to get hurt.
Being shy as a woman is often an attractive quality, and the right kind of confident guy will take you gently out of your shyness and open the situation up. For a man however, shyness can be a debilitating issue that has to be dealt with in order to succeed.
The first question to ask yourself is what is it you are shy about? Almost always the first reply is fear of rejection. A man wants to be successful in his approach and for many guys, they learn that a girl saying no is all part of the game. They learn to deal with negative responses and realize that it is a numbers game. Some will say no, others are dying to meet him. But for a shy man, he has yet to get to that level of confidence.
He is scared of girls saying no as he is highly selective. He sees a good-looking girl, maybe the only one he is attracted to in the bar, and he wants to meet only her. He fears she will say no and pre-empts the negative response by assuming too much and then withdraws into shyness by making mental excuses as to why it is not worth taking the gamble of making an approach. In doing so, he has defeated himself at the very first hurdle. This pattern can last not for weeks or months, but for years. It is a situation that must be overcome.
One of the things that can help guys is associating socially with more confident male friends and through this getting the feel of overcoming shyness by being surrounded by confident guys who are busy approaching girls. In doing so he will receive some of that confidence and try to move out of his comfort zone. That is why you often see men acting more confident in a big group. It is almost like a team-mentality.Often the answer to shyness in this sense is to have things to say.
You don't need to be a superstar comedian but you can be and often are amusing with your friends. You simply have to learn how to bring that humor out when talking with a girl. Most men don't listen to a girl when she is talking, they are too busy thinking. If you listen closely, she is telling you everything you need to know about how to act, react and what to talk about with her. So start listening too.
Sadly enough, nice guys do finish last. I used to be in the same boat as you a few years back, and I finished last for a while, before I woke up, and realized I needed to take action and do something about my pathetic state of affairs. The ironic thing is that out of my own bitterness, I started being rude to women, and next thing I know, my dry streak came to an end.
What do I mean by being rude to women----well, instead of telling them same old cliche every guy tells them such as, you got beautiful eyes, or you're cute, I would say something mean, and next thing I know these women were on my case, and well, all I had to do was keep on the conversation going, and I was out on dates. At the time though, this all happened by pure coincidence, but now I have found out that the so called pickup artists use this same technique, and it works.
By the way, by being mean I don't mean go to a girl and say look ugly, or you're fat. Is more like picking on them. but doing so with a sense of humor. At least I'm told I'm a funny person, so my 'insults' are not so damaging, but they are mean enough that a girl finds them funny and feels the need to respond and engage me in a debate, and well, then is all history.
Oh, by the way, the best thing is when women used to tell me, 'you're a cute guy, and you're so nice, but you're like a brother to me.' Back in the days, I would just keep my mouth shut, or whine and cry about being given a chance. Later on, out of anger I would snap back with, 'well I'm not so nice---I'm into incest, and since I'm like a brother to you, I don't see why we shouldn't get it on..." Most women didn't expect this type of response, and well, from there it went on to them calling me a perv, to which I would snap back at them, and well, from there it went into a sexual tension then eventually got satisfied....I think if I had stayed being the nice guy I used to be, I could still very well be a virgin....
I am not at all surprised that would work - curious though whether it helps you find a girl worth having or just in getting laid? - 7 months ago

It helped me in finding either. Sexual flings, short term dating, and long term dating. The key is that most girls get tired of hearing the same crap from guys, so when I came up and said something totally unexpected, then I had their attention. - 4 months ago
They generally won't because they don't have to. Kyrstin-Lynn's analysis may well be correct, but it reminds me of the criticisms of Phil Jackson's arrogance during the Bulls days - it's easy to talk big when you've got Jordan. And it's easy to talk big when you don't have to do it.
Are you a religious person? If you are and haven't been to your place of worship in a while, I'd think about getting involved in those activities. Church settings (synagogue, temple..) can be good places to meet women of character without having to deal with the pressures of loud noise, jostling people, and drinking that make it hard for a shy person to make a move at the bar/club.
Or, a funny approach could be to go to an online shop or local print shop and have a T-Shirt made for yourself that reads: "I am a great guy and am attractive to women." It may end up being a total disaster, but it'll definitely get attention and help you break the ice.
When guys buy roses, be romantic and pay attention, we get dumped but when guys are cocky, not calling you at all, become very precious, then you all...
