How do I get a SHY GUY to make a move?

[Anonymous]

what steps does a shy girl need to make to get a shy guy to ask her out? is it too forward if I go up to him ask for his number? or do I keep it simple and just start a convo?

A couple things I think that work on shy guys is 1) make sure you keep talking to him, and starting little conversations so he at least knows you want to chat with him and 2) give him little compliments. Like whenever he talks about something he does, let him know you think it's cool or interesting.

Basically, anything you do that makes him feel like you accept and approve of him, will make him a bit less shy. If he's really shy, though, you will have to do the asking out, because he won't do it. Just give him a little time to warm up to you first, then you can maybe ask him if he wants to hang out with friends or study with you or something like that, so it's not like a full-on "date" at first, and that will make him less nervous.

Show him that you are interested. Wave and smile when you see him. Talk to him if you are not too shy. I don't think asking him for his number is too forward, because it would personally give me confidence. The most important thing is be patient. He may not feel comfortable to show any feelings for you immediately but that doesn't that he doesn't like you. Get him to break out of his shell. I'm shy too and this would work for me.

Thats like trying to get a blind guy to see a movie. Impossible, they'll just keep ranting to friends/ on this site about why the girls never go for them.
