Do girls have a shy phase when they like a guy?

[Greateye]

Is this common?

Is this a sign of attraction?

I'm at a friends house, there's a girl that has been kind of looking at me every once in a while when I was talking to someone else. Then there was a small dog that someone brought in and came to me, so I played with the dog.

After a while of me playing with the dog, the girl seemed to started to approach me and then started to make some conversations with me.

Yes. Everyone is insecure to some degree and no woman wants to be perceived as easy catch. If she is shy or standoffish, rather than games player "not easy", girl then that is best circumstance.

I'm always awkward, it's not really a "phase"

[Bethany22]

Yes they do
