If you give a VERY shy guy your e-mail address will he e-mail a girl if he really likes her?

Shy guy at former job seemed very interested.

1. would act stiff and flustered around me at first and walk quickly and just awkward

2. came by me to ask work related questions and seemd comfortable when talking to me

3. always visibly tense when he first saw me

4. I started to look at him across the room and he already was looking and I smiled (the first time I did this he returned the smile and as I then walked past him he fidgeted and let out a Whoo! breathe (very weird) LOL

5. he smiled at me a lot and stood near me saying nothing or would come by me to ask work questions

6. when I asked him about himself he seem a tad nervous

(didn't even talk to other girls at my work)

7.) we helped each other out at work a lot but never got to be truly friends (didn't see each other a lot and both of us seemed shy since it was a work setting)

Before we left the job, I voluntarily gave him my e-mail in case he needed to contact me with anything for help (we helped each other ) (though he never knew if I LIKED him liked him (more work-related). I don't have his contact.

Isn't e-mail a shy guy's best friend? Couldn't he have found an excuse to e-mail me? It's been a week. Not interested, right?

As I shy guy myself, I would say it's still unclear. You gave him your e-mail address more as a work related thing. He may be unsure if he should e-mail you with something more personal.

You are right that e-mail is a good way for a shy guy to talk with someone. He's allowed to check what he says and not have to try to talk past the nervousness he's feeling when around you.

Only it's always hard for a person, who is nervous, to decide what's acceptable or wouldn't be going to far. He could be unsure if he's over stepping the bounds of why you gave him the address. He may be having a hard time trying to come up with a reason to contact you that would be appropriate.

Had you given him the address and said something like, "Hey here's my e-mail address, contact me sometime." Anything that would have given him a possible opening.

Though, he could not be interested. So as I said. Unclear. It all depends really on HOW shy he is versus how much confidence he can get to e-mail you. I'd give him a little longer. If it was me, I'd still probably be trying to work out what to say. I also wouldn't want to rush sending you something so I wouldn't come across as needy or something.

Not neccesarily. If he is shy, then most likely he doesn't know what to say on the email. Happens all the times. Now, when you gave him the email address, did you tell him to email you if he needed help only, or were you general and said, 'you email me to let me know how ur new job is, etc.' If you just said to contact him for help, then shy guys take that at face value, and well, if he doesn't need help, maybe that's why he is not emailing you! :S Remember, shy guys don't know how to proceed many times. I used to be in that category, and is easier just to give yourself an excuse not to do anything about it. Did you get his email address?

[Confusedone11]

No I didn't-long story. I know, I should have said it differenlty. I'm just so shy myself and that's how it came off. I didn't want to sound to forward or scare him off. *sigh*

Yeah you got it right, for the most part. He seems nervous around you and uncomfortable. On the other hand if he doesn't interact with girls period at work, because he did it to you it means something. (Even though he showed it in an odd way) I got a question for you. Did he contact you by e-mail? If he didn't it doesn't necessarialy mean that he hisn't interested in you. Guys would much rather talk on the phone to a girl than e-mail, text, etc. If you see him or come in conact with him then give him your number (that is if you have an interest in him; if not then forget about it and move on with your life) and if he calls you then he has some interest and if he doesn't then that's that.
P.S.- Just a little F.Y.I., a guy would ALWAYS rather hear your beautiful voice on the phone than see words on a screen. Maybe why he didn't e-mail you.
Hope I helped! Let me know, send me a message, I love feedback!

[Confusedone11]

Nope, no e-mail ever. After I didn't see him anymore, I called (got phone number from work directory and left message with a compliment and best of luck and then my e-mail.) I thought he might say "thanks" or SOMEthing to keep connection going. But nope. I took that as no interest.

maybe he's not sure that you're interested in him and he's too shy , I mean he should email you and just make any excuse to contact you . try to ask him about his email in case you need his help ,or even better his phone number and see what he'll say , but at the same time don't rush any thing take it slow .good luck //

He may just be to shy to e-mail you because you told him the e-mail was for "if he needed help with anything". Personally I would say that he is interested in you : )

[Pycon]

Yes he does like you. But he may be to shy or nervous. Or he might just have no clue what to say to you
