For me, shyness or social anxiety is fine unless she says that way even after several dates. She has to at least at some point open up. I would be afraid that she would be shy or insecure in bed. I want a woman who has a drive in the bedroom, even if she doesn't like to take control sometimes, she at least needs to be enthusiastic and not skittish about it.
It isn't a turn off though. I am shy too, but after I get used to someone and comfortable around them, then that shyness mostly goes away.
It really comes down to her personality and if we are compatible, and to what degree of anxiety she has. If she is the type to hide behind my pants leg, then yeah, that would wear thin after a few dates. If she blushes and has to whisper stuff into my ear, yeah, that would be hard to deal with. But if she is just shy around new people and needs time to warm up, I wouldn't care, because honestly, I empathize. I am like that, at least for now.
Socially awkward can mean, very insightful, and unpredictable, and not easily ‘bought’.
All of which are very POSITIVE attributes!
Well sometimes its cute but other times its weird. I know a really awkward girl and let me tell you some times she tries to be social and outgoing and good lord it is so cringe. She also tries way too hard to be funny and it comes off as forced and awkward.
I am super awkward but yeah a lot of men and guys have told me it’s endearing

Alright. One piece of advice. For the love of GOD, EVEN IF YOU'RE SOCIALLY AWKWARD, just LOOK at him! Just now and again. Raise your eyes. And give him the chance to make a move. That's the single biggest problems with shy girls. Things never progress because there's too little eye contact. Seriously. Eye contact. Make the effort. Everything will happen from there
It's not bad if the girl opens up after a while. And I think the same goes for the socially awkward guys. I haven't had a hard time meeting women when I was younger and yet I was socially awkward at the time too
I usually find that shy girls are much more cuter than girls who aren't. Shy girls make it interesting while you're in the talking phase because you can tell that sometimes they'd like to say something back but they refrain from doing so. It's the most satisfying feeling though when they do open up!
No it's not a turn off, they just have to put some effort in it. If we do all the work all the time and she doesn't show a lot of interest, we don't like that period
If the guy is mature and emotionally intelligent then he would think it's cool and He would try to bring you out of your shell. Awkwardness is cool Coz it's honest
Been gawky is cute, it also makes people more relatable as well to a certain degree everyone's gawky at one point in their lives.
No because i used to be socially awkward too haha it got better
Usually not. It's actually kinda cute. Unless the girl is *really* socially awkward.
Shy girls are a huge turn on. Good genuine men don't want to deal with immature, loud, obnoxious women so yes they are a huge turn on for men.
Socially awkward (i am a little) is positively interesting, and shyness (HUGE turn on) because it inspires cuteness and sweetness.
Nope. When girls make silly mistake it's cute for me.
Actually, I like girls that blush or act awkward around me. They look so cute and I like teasing them to make them blush :)
It's only a turnoff if it turns you off. And no but socially awkward people are in my opinion the hardest to get to look at you
It doesn't make me any diference, if i like her i like her
C) I'm also shy and socially awkward, so I can't date them anyway. I need an assertive and self-confident girl, preferably dominant.
Yes, I want someone who can help me keep a conversation boring. Shy people bore me to tears.
I'm empathic and easygoing so it won't be a turn off as long as I know she likes me back
I'm so tired of seeing this question... no, it's not a turn off!
You ain't awkward you're just shy get over the shyness be yourself... No one would put you down
It's turn on, if anything.
