I am honestly something in between shy and confident I am reserved and know when to speak and when not to I don't go blabbing things around like a loud mouth but when I need to I will raise my voice and take charge. I can easily take care of myself in a fight but I do not blab that around instead I am the silent type who puts the loud mouth braggers in their place if they bother me or other people.
In other words I am both but I know when to be quiet and reserved and outgoing and confident there is a time and place for everything and sometimes you need to be able to switch from quiet to outgoing as some settings require one or the other. Most of the time I am quiet and reserved not because I am shy but because I am a watcher and observer I gather information before I make a move I guess I look at things tactically.

I love questions like this. Confident guys can be confident because they are naturally confident or they think they are god's gift to women. It is something that you will only find out after you meet him and scope out his personality.
As for shy guys, it is a bit easier to answer this one. Many guys will see a girl who they interested in. One of the primary thoughts that go through a guy's mind is "there is no way a girl like this DOESN'T already have a boyfriend.". It is cases like this that a girl will have to approach him. Chances are that you will blow his mind when you do approach him. I actually recommend approaching a guy like this over the confident one.
The as girls: the shy one won't be upfront and let their feelings openly show, they want it to be a secret
The confident one will obviously flirt and show signs of interest

Girls they don't know:
Confident guys will wink or smile at you.
Shy guys will look away quickly.
Girls they know:
Confident guys may call you out, pat you on the back, ask what's up.
Shy guys may just pretend they didn't see you, or smile and wave at you, and they won't stop to chat for long.
Me ... even with a girl that I confessed to, when I meet her, I wave happily at her but I will look down slightly to her side so I don't look at her face. And my smile would be partway between really happy and a grimace.Pretty much what the other answer said. Confident guys are smooth talkers with all the right things to say to a girl. Shy guys get nervous and come off as uninterested. I am more of a shy guy myself and I need a girl to break the ice for me before I can become more outspoken.
Being confident isn't always a good sign. It's been proven that sociopaths are very confident and good in social situations, because they never question themselves
I think shy guys can be confident. So if you mean shy vs outgoing, then I would say the difference is passive vs active.
Shyness is normally mistaken as either disinterest, or dislike. Confident guys make there actions more clear.
