Help! Shy guy...how do I know if he likes me back?!?

Question

He's overcome some of his shyness...but not around me too much.
Usually I start the conversations..and he'll happily talk.
But I dunno...him being shy just confuses me. He's not really shy around other people though. I'm not exactly what you would call "loud" either..but I do try to let him know..subtly..that I'm interested. But how do I know if he is interested as well? He's a really sweet, respecting guy..so there's alot of things some guys would do to let a girl know he likes her, that he won't.

Thanks!!
=)

Answer 1

Well, since you said that he acts shy around you and not necessarily other people, I would say you already have your sign that he likes you. His shyness is a tell-tale sign that he's into you and afraid of being to open or you may not like him. Of course, you can always just let him know that you like him and be the assertive one for a change instead of waiting around on him to make the first move. If you really like him, then don't let his sudden shyness chase you off.

Awe I had a shy guy when I was 18, I had no idea he liked me back because he like never spoke. I think it is a good sign that he’s extra shy around you, right there, that tells me he definitely likes you back. Shy guys can make for a really great relationship, you just have to give him time to overcome whatever insecurities he has that make him so shy. Be aggressive, not like stalker aggressive but maybe you could call him up and ask him to go see a movie with you. That’s always a good start. I think it’s safe to say you are “in” and just take it from there. Good luck :)

I suggest that he's trying to see what type of woman you are. Some men take their time in relationships due to being hurt before or not getting themselves into something that he will regret down the road. If I were you I would just be patient and be a friend first because all relationship starts out with being friends. God Bless You!

Answer 4

Make the first move when you talk to him. I think he's waiting for you to ask him out. With some people, you have to give them a push, before you get a shove (before he asks you if u like him) If he doesn't respond, ask a few more times, if still no response, then try another approach. In writing, not around his friends, over the phone, ect. I hope my advice can help. Good Luck.

Answer 5

It sounds like he's interested in you. He's acting differently around you than around other girls. Try complimenting him, or if you're feeling really adventurous, ask him out for a drink. Keep on talking to him; ask him questions about himself and what he's interested in. He might start to open up a bit more to you.

Answer 6

The fact that he's more shy around you than other people lets you know how important your opinion of him is to him. Tell him that you like him and hope that he likes you too. Then pause and see how he responds to you.

Answer 7

shy guys are always desperate for girlfriends, because they know girls go for the loud guys who light up the rooms. most shy guys wouldnt dream of telling a girl he liked them (shattering already low confidence if rejected) so you HAVE to make the first move or you'll never get anywhere.
good luck

Answer 8

it sounds to me, that if he is shy around you, but not other people, and he'll talk to you if you start the conversation, he likes you, he's just scared to say it. if i were you, i'd ask him. what could it hurt? then you'll know at least. i think he does though. if that helps any.

Answer 9

Ask him about things he likes to do (sports, hobbies, video games) and ask to join him sometime. He will be more comfortable in a familiar environment where he is the expert, and you might learn something cool, too.

Answer 10

Does he happen to be around you more often? I would say he is into you but just has low-confidence levels to make a move. Its the 21st century. You make the first move.
