Shy guys have a blind spot for the reality that some women might get drunk and make out with a hot guy just for the hell of it, or that they could have a friend with benefits, or that they would want to casually date a few people at once. This can make shy guys pretty clueless about dating protocol.
People in a guy's age group may not even really "date" in the classic sense at all, but he wouldn't know it because that's what people do in the movies and on TV.
They may wonder things like: "How exactly do you ask a woman out? Continuing on the theme of having an over-romanticized view of dating: When a shy, inexperienced guy finds a woman he likes, his thoughts often aren't, "She seems fun.
Maybe we can hang out a few times and see where it goes. She's my dream girl. I just want to cuddle her by the ocean for hours as we watch the shooting stars above. Boy, better not screw that one up. Since they don't try to create their own options, whenever a half-decent woman comes into the life of a shy guy through school, work, or his social circle, his mind immediately leaps to, "Could this be the one???
Is this the woman I'll end my streak of loneliness with? They'll quickly get infatuated and preoccupied, constantly wondering if it's going to all work out with her. What's weird is, objectively these women often aren't even that appealing to the shy guy, or he obviously wouldn't be her type. However, because they have so few options, and are so desperate to meet someone, any minimally friendly woman they meet instantly becomes a possibility.
They almost have to like these women, what other choice do they have? If it later seems like things won't work out - which is likely since he's just invested a throwaway casual interaction with too much meaning - he'll get demoralized. But it won't be long before he's fixated on a new person.
I think women should be aware that just by being friendly, even in the most offhand way, to a shyer guy, he may start seeing you as a prospect. He may even get a semi-obsessive crush on you. It's not that you sent him any signals, just that any woman he comes across offers a chance to end his Forever Alone status and his mind reacts to this a little too excitedly and desperately. Most of this article has described a sweet, naive flavor of shy guy, but I had to cover this darker point too.
Not every man who's shy and inexperienced with women eventually becomes a hateful misogynist. Some are well-adjusted, healthy people, aside from their nerves around dating. Some stay wholesome and innocent in their attitude about relationships.
But a few can go down an angrier road after feeling like they've failed in their love lives for too long. Some common themes in their anger: "Women have it way easier in the dating world. That's opposed to shy dudes who have flown under the radar, or even had plenty of interest and opportunities they just didn't have the guts to act on. Of course, it's not just inexperienced, awkward men who can become bitter sexists. Guys who sleep around a lot aren't exactly known for their enlightened attitudes toward women.
You can't always tell, but often if you talk to a shy guy long enough you'll be able to tell if he's of the resentful variety. He may have a slightly hostile vibe, or it won't be long before he makes a questionable chauvanistic remark. You've probably lost any interest you might have had at this point. If you're speaking with a man and your gut tells you he's a decent person, but just hasn't dated much, it's often right. Here's what I think they are, maybe you can figure out some other ones: If you want to get to know a shy guy, it may be easier to talk to him yourself.
If he seems awkward, be persistent and try talking to him again a few more times. If you seemed to hit it off with a guy, but now he's acting strange and hesitant to talk to you, he may be shy or it could be for any of the other reasons two people seem to hit it off but then one doesn't follow up on it If a guy is nervous or insecure around you for whatever reason, just cut him some slack, don't draw attention to it, and he'll calm down eventually.
Even though you may be sending obvious hints, and even if he does understand them, you can't necessarily count on him to ask you out or kiss you himself. It may be easier for all involved if you make the first move. Don't expect a shyer guy to necessarily get concepts like, "We just hung out twice, and fooled around once, that doesn't mean we're a couple now.
If you think a guy you like is inexperienced then do him a favor and do nothing whatsoever to draw attention to it. Don't give him an opportunity to get all freaked out and insecure over what a supposed pathetic virgin he is. If you think a guy is inexperienced, you may want to take the same approach to your own past experiences. Just don't bring them up and potentially give him something to worry about.
Sure, after you've messed around a bit and he's more relaxed and comfortable with himself you can bring up your ex-boyfriends or what you like in bed, but before that it's probably better to take a "If he doesn't know about it, it won't bother him" approach.
That's all I've got. I hope this article helps you hook up with that cute, quiet, quirky guy you've got your eye on. And of course I hope this article indirectly makes life easier out there for all the shy dudes out there too. This originally wasn't part of the article, but I decided to add it after several women wrote to me asking for help with a shy guy they were interested in getting to know. Overall their situation was that things seemed like they were heading in a promising direction, but then he starting avoiding contact with her, and she's not sure why he's acting that way or what she can do to salvage things.
The little details of each story vary: Sometimes it's obvious the guy is shy, while at other times he's harder to read and she's wondering if shyness explains his behavior. Usually the promising first contact is that she sees the guy around in her day-to-day life - at work, on the bus, at her usual coffee shop, at the gym, etc.
She's either briefly chatted to him on a handful of occasions, or they've just locked eyes a few times. She gets the sense he's interested.
And this caused me to stay lonely. Sometimes I almost gave up hope that I could ever get a girlfriend.
I just wanted to be wanted by someone. To have someone to share life with and feel connected to. Was that too much to ask? If there was a girl I liked, then I would freeze up instead of talking to her. I would often imagine asking her out and being her boyfriend, but in reality I could never do it because I was too nervous. As a result, nothing ever happened.
Did you notice something? Her boyfriend is mentioned almost as an afterthought. Even though the women is very shy, she still has a boyfriend. A girl who is shy or quiet still has a good possibility that a guy will find her attractive, talk to her and ask her out on a date. That whole semester I sat there and did nothing.
Ask yourself if you will regret not talking to her. The Reality is one day it will be too late. One day, this life will be over. So what does it matter? What do you have to lose from that perspective? Besides, introverted guys have a superpower. You can read about how to stop being introverted here.
Are introverted guys attractive? Yes, as a general rule, being an introverted man can be quite attractive especially when accompanied by intelligence, attractiveness, and other desirable traits. What shy guys should know about what a beautiful woman really wants and what she might find ideally attractive. A lot of women love a real man acting manly. The reason for this is because it is a bit like a muscle, and if you are more on the introverted side, used to keeping social situations at the same level all the time, you may not have exercised social skills that require putting yourself out there.
Authenticity requires vulnerability. Girls like shy guys who are authentic. Shy guys need to let her know that when it comes down to it, you are confident enough to pursue her. Be careful no matter what to use good body language stand up straight, shoulders back. If you want to be someone others find attractive, you are going to have to keep an eye on why you are doing something in any given circumstance. But struggling with social anxiety is different and should be addressed to help you live your best life.
The pressure of thinking that you have to act quickly and ask her out can be overwhelming. If you aren't comfortable coming on so straightforward, work on becoming friends with her and getting to know her better. This can help you build up a comfort level with her and see if she's interested in you as well. It doesn't matter how much you like the girl. If you win her over by acting like an extrovert when it's not natural for you, then you're likely to run into problems down the road of your relationship.
You want to find a girl that likes you for who you are. If you win her over by acting like an extrovert, she's going to be surprised later when your behavior changes. She's going to feel like you tried the bait-and-switch. Make sure that you are yourself when trying to meet girls.
This is important for you to find the right girl and not just any girl. There are girls all over the place. If you like going to the gym, you can meet girls at the gym. If you enjoy hiking, you can meet girls on the trail if you pick the right one. If you enjoy coffee, you may meet the right person at the local coffee shop down the street.
Stop thinking that you have to be in a certain scene to meet girls. You will be more comfortable and have a better chance of meeting girls that you have things in common with if you focus on meeting them at the places you naturally go anyway.
As an introverted guy, it can be a challenge to approach a girl that you find attractive. The fear of rejection can be a lot to handle. That's why you need to learn how to spot the signs that a woman is interested in you. When you recognize these signs, it will help you start approaching the women that will most likely respond more positively to your advances.
Here are some things to look for:. Knowing how to read the signs that she's interested in can help you avoid approaching the women that are not. Some research has found that people tend to be attracted to those around the same level of attractiveness as themselves. That means you have a better chance of succeeding in getting the attention of a girl that's on the same level as you. That doesn't mean that you can't approach someone else who might be more attractive or less attractive than you, but it might not give you the best odds of success.
As an introvert, you probably don't want the pressure of having to carry the conversation. That means you need to learn the art of asking great open-ended questions and being a good listener. An open-ended question requires an answer more than just a one-word reply. When you ask a woman these types of questions, you will get her talking and learn more about her.
This will help you to find areas that you can connect with her. When you pair this with being a great listener, you will pick up on what question you can ask to keep her talking. Approaching women and dating may be hard for you. It may be something that you want to get through as soon as you can, but it's not something you should rush. Don't settle for a woman that's not a good fit for you simply because you already have her and don't want to go through the process again.
And, don't appear desperate because that's a huge turnoff to women. If you are struggling to find a girl, talk to a therapist. They can help you learn to be more comfortable and confident in your skin. This is what you want to find a woman that's the right fit for you. Quiet guys attract both calm and chatty women. There is not necessarily one type of girl that is attracted to a quiet guy.
If interests are similar and both on the same pages, oftentimes opposites do attract. These men are seen as mysterious, and women find them to be a puzzle to solve. While quiet guys are not intentionally puzzling, women find this quality to be a positive attribute. No one trait is suitable or attractive to all.
Both outgoing and quiet guys are attracted to women, just like outgoing and modest women are attracted to men. Men and women like what they like, and they will keep looking until they find their one and only. Not all women are attracted to one type of guy versus the other. Women find men who listen to them to be more attractive than men who ignore them. When asked, women preferred a man who knew what he wanted but also attended to their needs. Like President Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Barrack Obama, powerful men all have by their side women who carry their own sense of power and position in this world.
