Shy guys only!! when a girl compliments you, how do you react?

[Anonymous]

When a girl texts you and says you looked nice today or compliments you on something and you really like the girl how do you react? is it possible to not reply because you get scared at this? Or if you liked her would you always reply and if you didn't like her the no reply is because she's creeping you out? Shy guys only!

i used to be real shy, especially in hs. if a girl would hit on me I would just smile kinda nervously. usually I didn't say anything back because I didn't know how to respond. lots of missed opportunities. if the girl wasn't attractive to me I would say something back maybe, but just to excuse myself. if she was cute, I would be at a loss for words lol. took me a while to get over being shy

I'd thank them always. It's not that "scary" to just thank someone and compliment them back

[Asker]

ok so if he doesn't reply then basically he's just not interested?

[TurbulentDan12]

Are you saying he ignored you?

[Asker]

yeah, I sent him a message saying he looked nice then I sent him anotherone saying well done for something. he didn't reply. he replies to most other messages just not ones where I compliment him.

[TurbulentDan12]

Oh it's a just a message online? That's different. I think online you have to remember he may not have checked the message yet. Try complimenting him in person it may be different.

[Asker]

yeah it was a text. I sent the one about him looking nice last week, then the other tonight. I mean he's spoke to me since but I dunno? I feel like I'm maybe creeping him out.

[TurbulentDan12]

Did you text him that out of the blue? It's possible that he just doesn't know what to say back. But I really do believe that you should trust more how he reacts around you in person not through texting.

[Asker]

well here's the short version, worked with him for 2 years, when he started he didn't speak at all, then he started to speak a little, then he would come and speak every day, we started giving each other eye contatc when he passed and teasing each other... so becasue of this and becasue he is shy I told him I liked him (by message). he still gives me the eye contact, he doesn't come and speak as much but he does sometimes, when he does its like he has to think of something to ask me and he is

[Asker]

really nervouse when he speaks to me now. He asked me to go and see his band a few weeks ago and at the end when he was going he said bye and shook my hand. Then sometimes like todat he will avoid the eye contact but then sometimes he wont. Also then of course I try complimenting him and he ignores it, but if I send him one asking how he's doing he will reply?

[Asker]

really nervouse around me. The I try to compliment him by saying he looks nice or well done on something to try and give him confidence and he ignores it? But if I say hey, what you upto he will reply?

[TurbulentDan12]

I can't tell you if he'll reply, but I think the friendly thing to do is reply so he will. Every guy is different, and his shyness will cause some of these things that you're talking about, but if you stick around him and make sure he still knows you like him he'll come around

[stillagoodgirl]

Over text or online isn't too bad but in RL he might seem indifferent to the compliment

[kespethdude]

When it does happen, I blush and say "thank you". But then I get nervous and don't know how to take it further...

[Asker]

if she complimented you in a message would you reply?

[kespethdude]

I would, yes. I said in another question that I'm not shy on social networks, just in real life.

[Asker]

Ah right well he must not like me then as he did not reply.

[kespethdude]

I did reply, or are you talking about a shy guy who didn't reply to you? I can't speak for other guys so I have no idea if he likes you or is just afraid to express his feelings.

[Asker]

yeah I'm talking about my crush, I sent him a message on Facebook to say I liked his new profile pic but he didn't reply to say at least say thanks or owt so I guesed I freaked him out. Sometimes he will reply but whenever I seem to compliment him he doesn't

[HifsMit]

Shy guys don't like hearing about themselves in general. Should answer most questions about shy guys.

[Lj236]

i never get complimented so idk. maybe he didn't know what to say so he just didn't send anything

When complimented, I feel flattered, it may show.
