5 facts about dating a shy guy

Below are few things you should know about guys who find it difficult to woo a woman they like.

1. He won’t open up at the initial stage:

Shy guys don’t open up so easily. It will take a little time before you can see him expressing his feelings to you.

For instance, he may not say ‘I love you now, but will definitely do things that will prove his love for you.

So, at the initial stage of your relationship, don’t expect flirty talk or sweet text messages from him.

He will later come to that. But now, he will never flirt with you, unless you’re chatting on the phone. But if you are together, just forget about that. He won’t open up to you now but will do as time goes on.

All you need is to give him some time and space. Don’t scare him away.

Timid guys act like kids most times. Instead of quarreling or arguing with you, they will quietly withdraw from you.

2. They express their love mostly in action:

As I have stated earlier, most guys prefer actions to words when it comes to love.

They will prove to you that they truly love you, by making some sacrifices for you.

Timid guys don’t mind giving out all they have just to make you happy.

When you start receiving some gifts from him but fail to hear him say ‘I love you even for a day, it’s a sign he’s shy.

Have you ever wondered why he speaks boldly when you’re talking on the phone, but seems to be quiet when you go on a date? He’s simply shy.

3. Shy guys are not really good at flirting:

Unlike the extroverts, shy guys aren’t good at flirting with a woman at the beginning of the relationship.

As a woman, you should focus on making him open up to you. You can only achieve that by allowing him to be himself.

4. They don’t talk too much:

Introverts don’t talk too much, likewise shy guys. Their words are often short, not because they don’t want to talk but they are shy.

They are either afraid of being criticized, or simply don’t know what to talk about.

Although, all these things happen at the initial stage of the relationship. But as time goes on, they will get rid of those feelings.

5. They don’t make the first move:

Most shy guys don’t make the first move. They will rather relax and wait for the appointed time.

As a lady, while dating a shy guy, make the first move if you truly love him because he may be ashamed to do so.

Is it good to date a shy guy?

How to date a shy guy.

Below are what to do when you are dating a timid guy.

1. Don’t make fun of his shyness:

He loves you but is afraid to take action. Don’t see him as someone who is not mature. It may be his nature (an introvert).

Therefore, don’t make a caricature of his nature of shyness, it may discourage him and he will just walk away.

2. Exercise patience and give him time:

A shy guy may not conform to your needs in the beginning of the relationship but, give him some time.

3.  Study him properly:

Knowing your new lover will enable you to help him. He needs you to show him that you love him even as he is shy. Though he won’t have the courage to tell you everything.

Study him and know when he feels relaxed talking to you. Whether it is over the phone or one on one talk.

4. Find some interesting questions to keep him talking:

Even if he is not the type that likes talking, you can make him interested in the conversation by asking him interesting questions, but don’t do that often in order not to scare him away.

When you are dating a shy guy, don’t start by telling him everything about yourself nor should you ask him to tell you everything about himself. He may see it as intimidating and walk away.

How does a shy guy show interest?

They pay attention to every little detail about you, and always find a way to assist you whenever you are in need. They may not approach you directly to help you but may go through your friends or their friend to assist you. Another sign a shy guy likes you is that he keeps staring at you from away and quickly look away when he gets caught. This happens more if you have not known each other. But when you have met them in person, observe how often he makes eye contact with you. He doesn’t look into your eyes for long. It is a sign he likes you but he’s shy.
