Can these just be signs of close friendship and not necessarily romantic chemistry between 2 shy people?

- prolonged eye contact with each other
- whole body facing each other for example when waiting for a train at the station
- sometimes nervous around each other but still want to be around each other
- being close to each other’s faces
- prolonged goodbyes - always standing facing each other and wishing each other a good rest of the week etc
- meeting alone before going to group events (they always have an excuse for why - for example, they wanted to go to restaurant early to guarantee a good table for the group)
- they follow each other around and always wait for each other (for example if in a group and they go to the bar together, they’ll wait for each other at the bar before coming back)

Yes it could be close friendship

Ouuu this could go either way. Here is how you can tell... start texting outside of where you see them. Do you both randomly text one another? If so, thats another good sign.

Only issue I see is you both never making a move because of being shy. But someone will need to. I suggest giving them compliments and moving a bit move towards showing your intrest. If you dont- someone else will.
