What's the difference between a shy guy and a guy playing hard to get? And what are some signs of both?

Shy guys are well, shy. Guy who's playing hard to get, shows you that he likes you by being outgoing but at the same time, leaves you wanting more, players, pickup artists etc..

Which one are you dealing with right now?

[Asker]

Most likely hard to get.. But he's sending so many mixed signals I'm turning my attention elsewhere ;)

[Opinion Owner]

Ah, nah, don't do that yo. Not cool

[Opinion Owner]

Hey, if a guy took a while to ask you out, would you wait around? I'm having a tough time furthering my interaction with this girl along, mostly cause I'm a little shy, or well, lets just say, a lot shy, haha. But, I really do like her, and just nervous

[Asker]

I don't know but I wish he'd do something... As for you... you risk the same thing by waiting... some other guy may come and snatch her up while you hesitate... Has she shown any interest in you?

[Opinion Owner]

I haven't even asked her out, we only JUST met, but, I feel like she could be, I really don't know

[Asker]

Find out what she's interested in maybe you have a common interest and it would give you a good conversation starter just be careful who you ask lol

[Opinion Owner]

Oh trust me we have common interests, I've checked her out on fun and stuff I just trying do how to go about it without coming off as creepy. Hey would you willingly hug a guy you just met if he had stretched his arm out for one?

[Asker]

I would because I'm just a friendly type of gal :) I'd think he was just being friendly though and if he had an interest in me it'd have to be a little bit more obvious lol

[Opinion Owner]

Don't you think physical contact of any sort is a sign?

[Asker]

Not when it's just a hug. Maybe if sitting close together and touching knees or the sly placed hand when walking past someone...

Some guys will pretend to be shy so they can play hard to get without it looking contrived.
