How do SHY guys show SIGNS of interest?

[Anonymous]

What are the different things a shy guy do to show interest?

This guy is loud with his friends but when I'm around he'll stare at me and when I notice, he'll turn away. My friend once told him I thought he's cute, and from that day on, he'll keep asking this friend if I said anything more about him,etc. And he'll ask qns about me secretly from a mutual friend. So I decided to passe him my number via this friend, but he hasn't texted/called. He said he wants my number though. I don't know if he's intimidated/unsure/don't know what to say (probably cos he's shy)... Or not interested. I'd understand why as I myself have never spoken or even smiled at him before. Since the day he got my number he didn't text/call but he'll still keep asking my friend '' did she say anything?', ''what did she say?'''... I'm not sure what's in his mind.

When I'm around he'll not look at me at all and be a bit jumpy and loud with his friends. Would a shy guy be like this and act this way?

All the signs are there that he likes you :) I had the same situation with a guy. He was loud one minute then when he saw me he went dead quiet and stared , then looked away when I noticed him. Then he continued to look. Cute really! His friends teased him as they knew he was acting different in my presence. I found out that he did like me. We didn't get together as he actually had a girlfriend at the time ,but I do think we would of been better together. Good luck. Make the move before he moves on.

thanks for the answer..=) but what about him not texting/calling me aft getting my number? is it because its not me who give it to him and that I've never actually smiled/talked to him before...? I guess that makes him unsure about my interest.. do you think so too? or he's just uninterested?

No probs :). Hmm it could be that he does not believe for a second that you are interested. He could be modest or cud have low self esteem. Maybe he is not sure whether you want him to call as it was your friend who gave him your num. Would of been better if you did but I get it. Its nerve wracking. Yeah he's unsure. Smile, wink or try get courage to say hi. I'm sure he will be delighted with that. Go for it ;) nufin to lose evryfin to gain. That's my motto. Go get him. He needs the go ahead from you :)

He's afraid to look stupid in front of you. That's why he quiets down when you're around. He thinks you're judging him. And a shy guy will NOT call you unless you give him your number yourself. If you really want to give him a chance, you be the one to start the conversation. That way he will know for sure that at least you take some sort of interest in him.

I thought so too.. if I were him I wouldn't know what to say when calling or texting, seeing that we've never had any sort of interaction before, not even smiling. Do you think its OK if I email him and tell him something like..''hey, it'll be nice to hear from you if you're keen..etc...'' ? Just to clarify him about the number...?

It's alright to send him an e-mail if you want, but nothing beats face to face. Have a conversation. It'll make him more confident.

alright..it'll take plenty more guts and courage for me to do that. I'll definitely try to hint something to him... thanks!

I would show interest from behind a book or newspaper, preferably at the other end of the room and hope she doesn't notice. They usually do and they move elsewhere.
Even when I met my wife I was indirect. But I showed interest but "finding" her phone number even though she wouldn't give it to me.

I Usually always talk to her or tell jokes etc or even ask out. Yes I am shy...
