Girls, would you generally lose interest if a guy you like is shy & afraid of making a move on you even if he likes you & just end up as friends?

Yes I would lose interest after a while and would reject him if he asked me on a date after we just end up acting as platonic friends for too long

No I wouldn’t lose interest

[SkyCastle90]

It depends.

I'm not a mind reader and pretty inept when it comes to flirting, so if he doesn't make his feelings known to me then he is stalling himself.

However, if I like him then I'll just ask him out myself. I did it once with success, I'll do it again if I ever become single.

well, if i was interested then id do it, but if i liked someone else in the meantime and get close to the guy, I'd probably move on from the guy who didn't have the courage of speaking to me...
I usually am the type of person everyone would easily talk to, even introverts, so I don't know anymore then, id lose interest if he isn't speaking

Tbh if he's too shy and afraid to make a move he probably isn't even on my radar.

Perhaps this is gendered thinking, but I truly believe that if someone really really likes you, they will overcome their shyness and ask you out.

I don't normally ask guys out, but I have if I liked them enough to be worried about them 'getting away' or setting up a date with someone else.

I’m okay with it but also not really because if someone god forbid we’re to harass me I’d expect him to defend me. And if he’s too shy to even defend me or scared them that’s a big NO from me. I’d feel like the man in the relationship the entire time. There needs to be a balance.

It depends. If he shows interest in me, romantic interest… I wouldn’t lose interest, I am willing to take things slow. However, like someone else said, if he treated name like a friend, I would lose interest.

[Seinna]

Not just because he's shy, but if he's not able to gather the courage then I would. I expect a man to protect me and how can he do it if he can't even talk to a girl?

[PrettyPriya]

I wouldn't say lose interest. I might get impatient to an extent. I would probably make a move myself if I got to that point and really liked him.

[chickenqueenl]

That happened with me and a guy I met on a dating app. We both really liked each other but he had never had a girlfriend so he was scared to make a move

[Asker]

Did you meet in person?

[chickenqueenl]

No, but we were planning on it

[Asker]

So if you did meet In person but he never tried to kiss you, would you friend zoned him?

[Gwenhwyfar]

I wouldn’t lose interest but it’s possible by the time he got around to asking me out I’d already have a boyfriend or girlfriend

[RedStiletto88]

Yes I’ve lost interest in men who were too shy to approach me. It’s not really attractive if a man is too scared to try anything

[aintnocandle]

No I make moves if I’m interested in a guy. If he doesn’t make moves back that’s when I lose interest

[Anonymous]

If I am treated like a friend I normally lose the romantic interest. But if I had it at some point it can come go back and I would likely give it a shot and go on dates if I thought we would fit together in that way.
