How to tell if a shy guy is interested in you/finds you attractive?

[rchenry]

I'm in University and I've been crushing on this guy for a while. We have a few mutual friends but have only introduced ourselves a few times, no real conversations. A friend of mine said he's more on the shy side, but he obvisoult he isn't this way with people he knows, naturally. One time we were alone waiting for class to start and I asked him a question, he answered but the convo didn't really go anywhere and we just sat doing our own thing. When class started a girl he isn't friends with sat beside him and he asked her the exact same question I asked him earlier and they easily had a conversation. In my head I was like woww why couldn't you just do that with me it took so much effort for me to fight through my anxiety smh. Another time we were in a different class I was sitting behind him and his friends in that class were already sitting beside him. He looked backed but purposely looked pass to behind me. I checked to see if there was a girl behind me but it was all boys. Basically every time I'm around him I feel like he's trying to not make eye contact with me. I can also sometimes feel him looking at me but only when I'm not looking or he thinks I'm not looking. In the same class he looked past me I asked a guy sitting beside me a question and he looked back at me. Another time a couple people were sitting between us and my guy friend complimented my sweater and from the corner of my eye I saw the he (the guy I like) looked over at us. Man I don't know if I'm being delusional or what, I'm just confused. So what do you guys think? How do shy guys act around girls they like?
I just kinda feel like he's avoiding me somehow? Srry this was so long hah

Ok so I was able to get over my anxiety and start a conversation with him, I just made myself think I didn't like him like he was just another person haha. I spoke to him during one of my classes and then later that day he came up and spoke to me again! I feel like he was just waiting for an opportunity/for me to hopefully break the ice haha. So ya for all the girls who are confused JUST GO FOR IT! Wasting time is lame :p

Ok, I'm in a very similar situation. I like this guy who's brother is rooming with one of my guy friends. People claim he is on the shy side too yet it doesn't seem this way with anyone else but me ugh. One time I asked a question and he looked down and didn't even answer, one of our friends answered for him I was like... wtf? He stares at me too when he thinks I don't know but when I look at him he looks away quick. People who I've talked about this to says similar things to the guys who have responded to this that he's shy around the person he likes in case you don't like him back or out of the fear of rejection. Which is ironic in this case because I do actually like him, that is if what people are saying is true.

We are all in the same boat... I've gotten more signs out of mine and he will try to talk to me when I talk to him... He even came up and said hi so and so the other day... Progress!

OMG I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! Except in gr 12 and i haven't had much of a convo with him... i did however experience that he looked past me, and looks at me sometimes and sometimes doesn't

He kinda is avoiding you. With shy guys if they like you they are terrified. Most shy people are more comfortable talking with people they don't like. There is no pressure. He didn't respond when you talked to him because there was fear of saying something embarrassing. There is a good chance he likes you but you'll have to start talking to and make him feel comfortable to really find out.

[rchenry]

Yeah I'm going to be giving my 100% to talk to him this week, I was just discouraged when I tried in the past and it didn't work out like I planned haha

[Rloco]

If he gives short answers look for how he reacts. If he just seems nervous or shy keep trying. If he starts to look uncomfortable then maybe try again the next day. But you trying to talk to him should slowly make him more comfortable.

Thanks for mho

There's a possibility he does, some shy guys try to avoid the girls we like because it makes us nervous. But there's a chance he just doesn't see you as anything more than an acquaintance.

[googlenexus]

Ughh thats the thing about shy guys... they act the same way to the people they like and those they dont like

[Opinion Owner]

@googlenexus I mean, that's how us shy guys feel about girls so we're in the same boat :-)

[Rloco]

It's because they don't want you to know they like you.

It definitely sounds like he was crushing on you but was too scared to make the first move.

He won't be able to look away from you,

if he does look away, his eyes will keep coming back to your eyes,

His facial expressions would be that of a toddler looking at a candy or lollipop in your hand and unable to put it in words that he/she wants it, but they're face will be begging the hell out of you to give them that sweet sweet thing you have...

To go ahead you will have to make the first move, coz shy guys r unnaturally good in bed but they also give up trying to be with a girl very very very easily...
