What Type of Guys to Pretty Bookworms Go For?

[xraptor]

What type of guys do bookworms go for?

How would they act around their crush?

The girl I have in mind is a gorgeous bookworm, who is fairly shy like me, Never talks to guys (very rarely anyway) and, Short blond hair, blue eyes, short and skinny.

Speaking as a shy bookworm, I can honestly say that it really does depend on the girl! But I can promise you this: She's more apt to be highly romantic. If she's anything like me, she'll want the guy who can be mysterious, dashing, confident, and handsome - high standards, I know. She'll want someone who knows what he's talking about, has opinions, and, in general, knows what's going on in the world.

If she has a crush... you say she's shy? Then she'll be shy! Most likely, you'll have to approach her. Again, if she's like me, she might be extra clumsy and quiet. I tend to not pay attention to my surroundings as much when I'm trying to talk to a cute guy. You can imagine what this might lead too...

if you want a conversation starter, start with the obvious and ask her what she likes to read, what her most recent book was, why she liked it... try and find something that you both can talk about, something that she's really into. If you REALLY like this girl, pick up something that she suggests you read. She'd really like that. Expand from there =)

As a bookworm surrounded by many other bookworms, I can honestly say that we don't really have a specific type. The only uniting theme I've noticed is that we tend to like boys who are also into books, or who are at least somewhat literate. Most of the boys I know act like they don't even know how to read, and that makes me very sad.

As others have said, you coul really connect with her if you show interest in what she's reading. You could ask for book reccomendations from her, and reccomend a book or two of your own.

Oh Okay.

Well the particular girl I have in mind, I'm not sure if she actually reads books such as novels/plays and so on. She's more into reading text books that are related to school, or revising notes, doing homework as far as I know.

So I'm just assuming that kind of behavior is 'bookwormish'

You said she is shy, so when she is around you and if she likes you she will only act more shy. I know that sometimes when I have a crush on a guy I get very nervous, don't know what to say, blush alor, avoid eye contact. Since she's shy she is not going to pursue you, that's your job. Be a little more obvious that you like her, hopefully she'll get more comfortable around you so you can finally ask her out on that date! Since she likes reading try using that as an opener.

They like nice, clean, non-smoking, non-threatening quiet guys who don't act like jerks, don't hang around with jerks or do things just to get noticed.

A kind of lovable 'plain' nerd who really is a little harmless guy that would never hurt her and treat her with respect and gentle loving care in a private personal manner kept between you.

Shy guys who don't brag, boast or bullshi..., those that just seem genuine, happy go lucky and intelligent and caring without trying to impress.

If that sound's like you then your in...but only if you go carefully and don't scare her off.

maybe someone who has the same interest? women period don't have a type that they want if so they are mainly gold diggers, anyway just talk to her and open her up maybe she will start to like you

Likes begets likes. How do you expect an intellectual to go for a dummy? It is impossible.

An intellectual will like to be around people of his/her own class.

It doesn't matter what kind of guy she goes for, all that matters is if she is interested in you. If you have common interests or hobies? A good way to get her to talk to you is by bringing up the subject of a favorite book, or something that you know she likes.

Do me a favor and search the book Noah and Leigh by Olivia Harvard (colourlessness) on Wattpad
Their situation is very similar to yours, at least, that's what I think

Girls who bury their faces in books. Sounds like me. Well like Lanthe said we don't really have a specific type. At all. I mean, I like a totally geek guy and a totally funny popular guy. If you want her, you've probably already got her. Just talk to her a lot. Surprisingly, bookworms aren't really all that shy. We just act that way. Do me a favor & flirt with the girl.
