Girls, Are Shy Guys subtle and genuine flirtations more meaningful than bold, scripted ones?

Absolutely. Though I'm now reaching the age where I realize at least in my head that a guy like that is not necessarily going to be more holistic than the other guy. My hormones/heart want to believe the subtle guy falls in love over subtle things, but I know now that it's not the case.

Your heart and hormones may want to believe the shy guy falls in love over subtle things, but in reality, attraction isn’t about subtle vs. bold—it’s about confidence and connection. Women, in general, are more drawn to assertiveness because it signals strength and decisiveness. While a shy guy’s flirtation might feel more meaningful, it doesn’t necessarily lead to better relationships. In practice, men who take initiative tend to have more dating success, which suggests confidence matters more than subtlety.

I dont know if I'd call it more meaningful, but it's certainly more adorable than a scripted line.

[Shy_Steve]

Is it usually more attractive?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Not necessarily. What's more attractive is if he can make me laugh

[PrincessC16]

Yes, absolutely. I love when I can tell that a guy's words are genuine.
