Girls how should a guy know if a girl is just really shy around him or not interested?

There's this girl that might be into me because she is a little shy around me but she also makes me think she's uninterested too. She's a friend of mine from college and school had just started up again. We've been back for a week and I've only seen her once. Last year she was a little shy around me but I thought she might be into me by the way she was really smily towards, stared at me a lot, and I even had people telling me I could get at her. But I didn't because I was nervous last year. But in the beginning of the summer I started to text her a little bit and she seemed happy that I would text her. Sometimes I would say nice things to her because she is a very nice girl and deserves to be treated nicely. But After awhile she stopped replying to me so I stopped texting her until we got back to school. I've seen her once seen we've been back and when I did she came up to me to give me a hug and we talked a little after that. But as the night went on she got quieter around me everytime I talked to her. But when I started talking to other people that's when she started staring at me a lot. So the next day I texted her saying it was good to see her and that I thought she looked pretty and gorgeous last night. We talked for a little bit but she doesn't have the same interest when I text her anymore. The last time I texted her she was real short with me and didn't seem to care much. When I first started to text her in the summer she always seemed happier when I text her. Now I just feel like I'm bothering her. I can't figure out if I'm bothering her and she's not interested or maybe that she is just really shy around me. I have no idea what she thinks of me and I have no idea what to do :/ Should I keep trying with this girl or should I just give up? She one of the nicest and prettiest girls I've met and I want to keep trying with her but I just don't know if I should. She's not out of my league or anything either. So girls if you could me advice please do

Shy girls want the same things that any other girl wants. They want friends, success, and love. They just won't always put themselves out there in order to get it. That means if you like a shy girl, you're going to have to do a lot of the work. Don't despair. The first step is figuring out if she's hiding a crush just behind the wall of her shyness.

Notice how often she looks at you. Looking at you a lot is a good indicator that she might like you. If you make eye contact and she looks away immediately or tries to hide her face, this may also mean she likes you. At class, she might strain herself to make eye contact with you when you're participating (if you're right behind her, however, she might not look at you that often)
This may vary with each shy girl. The key is that shy girls will avoid looking at you when they think you will look back.

Pay attention to how she talks. Most shy girls become quiet around somebody they like because they are worried about saying the wrong thing; some might do the opposite and talk a little more when you're around to let you know they can be outgoing, too. She may even be a out going girl who only becomes shy around you. She may also be passive with what she says, giving you the opportunity to take control of the conversation.

Watch for jealousy. Some shy girls may become jealous if you flirt with others. She may then dismiss whatever flirting you did with her.

Give the girl you like compliments. A compliment from you suggests to her that you like her, which may make her more open.

Sit next to her and have a conversation. Be patient and she will become more comfortable with you. She won't break out of her shell straight away, so be persistent if she is responsive.

Be aware, she may be watching you. Shy girls usually survey their crush, watching his behaviors and interactions for clues that you reciprocate their feelings.

Notice if she acts differently around you. She may be loud around others, but quiet around you. She may laugh a lot at things you say or give lots of small smiles. These are hints she is interested. Watch out for blushing--shy girls almost always blush when they find themselves gaining the attention of the object of their affection, so keep an eye out for reddened cheeks and face.

Ask mutual friends or her friends if she has a crush on you. Her closest friends will probably know who her crush is. Remember, she will find out that you asked so be prepared to deal with possible gossip. However, remember that some shy girls are very reserved and may keep their crush a secret, even from their best friends.

Make the first move by finding reasons to hold her hand or pat her back. If she doesn't shy away from this, it is likely that she likes you.

Try asking her out. If you think she likes you, trust your instincts. And remember, a rejection isn't the worst thing in the world! (If you're in middle school, however, you might not want to "go out" yet. If so, invite her to your birthday party or to another more casual event)

Just tell her how you feel. Ask her if you are bothering her or why she is being so quite all the time. just be honest, that's what girls like the most. If she would't be into you, she wouldn't even hang out or text with you at all so I don'tbthink that's the case. So yeah as I just said tell her how you feel about her, that you really like her and wanna go out with her or something AND ask her why she is being short with you all the time, she'll tell you ;)
Hope this helped a little hehe
