Shy guys don't all share the same preferences, and the fact that they are shy doesn't tell you anything about what they find attractive in others. Different shy guys I've known have been attracted to quiet (shy or not) girls, to sporty girls, and to hyper-feminine girls.
If he acts like he was struck by lightening, blushes and quickly moves away, he is definitely interested. These signals merely indicate how much your touch really means. A guy may really want to have a conversation or maybe even ask you out.
Shy men, practically by definition, do not have the gall to initiate and pursue ladies. They fall beyond the predator-prey design for sexual communications that is assumed in the “don't start contact” guideline. So it is acceptable for you to start with a shy individual.
You can tell that he has feelings for you if he smiles a lot at you. He is showing his attraction and interest by smiling because he is just too shy to do anything else. You can ease his ordeal by initiating the talk yourself or smiling back at him. That will comfort him immensely.
A shy guy will volunteer to do things for you just to be around you. If he's jumping at every opportunity to help you out, he's super into you. But even if he hasn't volunteered, a shy guy with a crush will jump at the opportunity to make you happy if you ask him, especially if it means they get to hang out around you.
Characteristics Men Like In Shy Women
Some men find shy women appealing and feminine. Shy women may appear to have innocent charm. Some men enjoy the concentrated attention of shy women. Many men like a woman who is shy everywhere but in the bedroom.
He'll stand close to you. He might place his hands on you casually, like touching your arm or your shoulder when laughing at a joke. “A guy who holds your hand or puts his arm around you is showing interest. We don't tend to touch people we don't like, so touch can be an indication of attraction.”
He may think that by avoiding eye contact, he can mask his feelings and make sure that you don't suspect that he feels attracted to you. Usually, a shy guy will go this route when he has feelings for you because he may not be able to walk up to you and ask you out immediately.
Can you feel when someone is attracted to you? Yes. When someone feels you are an attractive person, some things come up between you that aren't there otherwise. The clues aren't always obvious, but you can see some of them by paying attention.
If someone smiles a lot when they look at you and connects eye contact with smiling, it is usually because they find you attractive. They might also make fun of you and tease you, or try to make you laugh. If someone's into you, you make them nervous. Their heart will beat rapidly from being around you.
If you notice he is making more eye contact with you or you catch a guy staring at you, he is probably attracted to you. He may be enthralled by your good looks and may be fantasizing about kissing you. Perhaps he stares at you and smiles; that could mean he likes you, too.
Some guys are so shy that they won't make the first move, even if you send signals loud and clear. If you're having a good time and you've both been flirty all night, feel free to make the first move yourself. Shy guys usually appreciate having someone make the first move.
If a boy really has a crush on you, then he'll be likely to give you all of his attention. He'll turn his body toward you, make eye contact, and won't look around for his other friends or text them during your conversation (unless he uses his phone as a crutch because he's nervous).
If he compliments your eyes, the color of your hair, your laugh, or an admirable aspect of your personality, then he's definitely flirting with you. He may even tease you a bit while flirting with you, like if he says something like, "That's the brightest sweater I have ever seen," but he's still flirting with you.
Prolonged eye contact, raised eyebrows, and dilated pupils are all evidence of attraction. A person might lick or bite their lips or look at your lips if they're attracted to you as well. Open body language and facial expressions are also signs a guy or girl is feeling attraction towards you.
A shy guy may steal glances at you if he happens to like you and get nervous around you. He will listen to you intently and will do anything to grant your wishes. He may look upset if you show interest in other men. Nicknaming and noticing your small changes are a few signs that indicate his interest in you.
The good news is: That's not likely to happen. Guys in the real world like it when you make the first move. I know because I asked. “I've always found myself attracted to women who are friendly enough to strike up conversation and confident enough to express interest,” says Miles Davis, a restaurateur in Washington.
In reality, guys don't dislike shy girls at all. They find them mysterious and totally appealing. In fact, many guys actually dislike dating girls who can't stop talking. Being shy is an advantage.
There are a few dead giveaways that indicate he's interested. If he holds a hug for a super long time or he “accidentally” brushes your shoulder or touches you, he's probably into you. If he's just being friendly, he may smile and make eye contact, but he won't go out of his way to touch you.
