Shy guys: how do you act around girls they are attracted to?

[Anonymous]

If you are really attracted to a girl, how will you act around her? What are some things you might do or say?

If I'm highly attracted to her then I stare without smiling and can't look away even though she catches me; but that has only been one girl. The others I've been attracted to, but not on the same scale as the one I mentioned, I've looked and glanced away when caught; often trying to remember to smile when I look away as to give her a notification that I like her.

But I try to often be near here, albeit not always and not often so I don't freak her out; so I tend to walk past her and if we are both standing somewhere I also sometimes try to be in her line of sight, while not looking at her.

If we were in a classroom together at university then changes are I would try to sit somewhere near you, albeit not next to you but somewhere I could be looking at you.

And I'll very probably not be the one to initiate conversation with you - that is highly unlikely unless you've given me concrete and massive signals over a long period of time (of about thousand students here in my university, probably around 500 females; I've only approached four girls because of their constant signals, and those I didn't ask for numbers or asked for a date)

The number one thing would probably be constant eye contact or glances. Looking at her and then looking away really fast. A lot of us shy guys usually do this in hopes she will see it and take initiative since we don't like to.

They will be very soft spoken. Usually will avoid eye contact when talking to the girl they like.

Honestly, we won't show much body language other than looking at her. Maybe we'll constantly walk by the girl and smile. Flirting will be very subtle, if even at all.

Pretty much shy guys are hard to read when it comes to figuring out if they're interested in a girl or just shy in general. Best way would be to take initiative if you're interested in him as well.

Geez. I'm shy and I won't talk to her. I'll stand next to the girl and I'll talk to her friend and hope that my witty conversation with her will spike her interest. I just need something from her which gives me the green light. But it has to be concrete and not some subtle hint like playing with her hair. I can't even make eye contact, what makes you think I'm looking at your hair?! That will give me the confidence to talk to the girl I'm attracted to. If I get nothing from her, cut my loses and go.

I'm shy and... I would never simply go to a girl and tell her I like her. She would need to feel it (she would, at least by seeing the tremor that would occur).

Perhaps that's why I'm still more or less single. Need to work on it.
