No not it is all good I'm shy no doubt like severally shy and my boyfriend loves it..
a lot of guys love shy girls.
Only if it is to the point where you require the guy to do way to much work while he is trying to get to know you.
there is shy and there is she does just not want to open up.
Not if you're a girl but being shy is definitely a disadvantage if you're a guy
In a way being shy is a disadvantage cause most guys like to see a girl be out going and fun. In my case im more into shy girls cause im a shy guy myself. I think the out going fun girls are kinda begging for attention lol
Being shy is an disadvantage in all aspects of life.
Its not because in any case guy will have to approach the girl whether she is shy or outgoing. Yeah its a bit easy for outgoing girls but its just because they have more opportunities to interact with guys.
It can be a disadvantage if the guy you're dating is not into shy girls but still than you can get away with it pretty easy.
Im not shy but sometimes I just don't feel like socializing.
Yes, I have a hard time connecting with new people because I’m shy
Yes. Outgoing personality types attract people to talk to them, while shy people give off a vibe that they don't want to be bothered.
Well it depends how shy you mean... does she avoid going in crowds and dress like a dude then yeah
For a girl no. Being shy as a guy ruins your dating life. Cause girls don't approach guys usually.
I can be shy at times, but i still tend to get many dates because I choose to stand out in others ways. It can be if you don’t stand out personality wise.
Never when a guy can be patient and take his time to talk to her she'll come around
Shy girls have it easy, if you're a shy guy then I'll pray for you.
this picture gives wrong vibe, it is not being shy it is flirty.
And, no, it is an advantage
Why do you think so?
@KiwiGirlcholatelover because she is not shy
Sorry, I meant why do you think being shy is an advantage?
@KiwiGirlcholatelover I find it girly and approachable
Outgoing girls can still be girly and some shy girls are not girly at all, I think this nothing you can generally say.
Thanks for answering though :)
You are welcome :)
I like this girl in my workplace very much. She is quite shy. It gives me chills when she talks with me. To be honest I hate it... it makes me to feel shy as well
Yeah, me too.
I think it is waay harder to talk to shy people, than with outgoing people. You just kind of get those awkward silences where nobody knows what to say, whereas an outgoing person doesn't care whether she comes off as awkward and just keeps the conversation going... Somehow
Worse when have a crush on them.
Hey how can I ask for her number? I can't talk to girls, i am shy too. FYI, we are colleagues
I don't develop a crush very easily, I definitely have to have talked to them a few times and I have to be able to hold a decent conversation with them. It just has to click for me, so I don't really have issues in talking to my crush.
I don't really know how to ask for a number, I never had to...
You could see on Reddit r/seduction they post heaps of crap there but also sometimes some reliable stuff. Just today I saw a post about someone retelling a conversation which went along the lines of
Are you single
Yes
Do you think I am attractive
Um yes
Can I have your number!
Yeah, chuckles
It is indeed preetty straightforward, but at least she has enough opportunities to declare that she is not interested and your intentions are made clear. You could think about that :)
Woow that is long lol
Thank you very much. I don't need to ask for comprehensive. Lol
Do girls like it when guys are straightforward? I am afraid she will get mad at me. I know she is single.
Think every girl has it's own personal preference. I like to know what the person's intentions are, because I tend to see new people as friends rather than romantic partners.
As long as you stay respectful and don't come off as rude being straightforward is perfectly fine to me
Why would she get mad, though}?
I don't know. Maybe, it is just fear of rejection. I feel i would never be able to work with her if I got rejected
Do you work closely with her?
You can remain friends though
Yes, she works in HR. And I am not friend of her I am trying to express her that like her, since two months. I still don't have courage to do that. But still it is fun having a crush. I love the butterfly feeling lol
You can still work professionally if she rejects you, right...
Why do you not have the courage? She can only say no.
I already have feelings for her. If she said no, my poor heart would kill me lol
by the way, i have really bad experience with a girl whom i loved
Do what you prefer...
I am sorry to hear that! <3
I hope this girl would help me to get over with the past. :)
Well, I prefer to talk to her. Still don't have courage to do so.
Probably, few people are willing to take the risk and make a move these days.
For experience, yes. 😐
What attract me the most in a female is the shy attitude she do when i say or do something she wasn't expecting
I'm a little South American friend
Being shy is not a disadvantage I think it's cute but don't let you be so shy that you don't talk to anyone
If you're a girl you can get away with it to an extent. If you're a guy you're completely screwed.
