Yes, they do. Probably they ONLY go after women that they really want.
Getting a shy guy to open up about his feelings can be tough, but thankfully, there are ways you can make him feel more comfortable and confident about sharing his feelings. To get a shy guy to acknowledge his crush, you'll need to build trust with him, listen to him, and take your time.
If he's generally a pretty nervous guy, him being nervous around you may just be his normal behavior, but if this guy is usually super charming and confident, him being nervous may be a sign he's crushing on you.
Guys flirt with girls they like. He might ask you for your number, then call you the next day. He may act playful, wink, and flash a smile at you. If most of your conversations feel flirty, then odds are that he likes you as more than just a friend.
You Can Feel It
This one is probably a no-brainer; when someone is attracted to you, they want to touch you. Touch releases the bonding hormone oxytocin. So, it is an instinctive way of trying to strengthen your connection. However, not all touches mean the same thing.
He needs some time to be sure of his feelings. Sometimes, guys withdraw from a situation and act uninvolved to be able to see it from a different perspective. By keeping a distance from you, he is trying to see the relationship differently and understand if he really wants to keep this going.
A guy feels more protective around a shy girl
When a guy is with a shy girl, their protective instincts kick in stronger. And that makes them feel better about themselves. It allows their masculine side to come out more. They like to act as the girl's hero, and shy girls allow them to do that.
People can fall for each other differently, and every man may be different. Some individuals experience fear of rejection, commitment, or vulnerability, while others may exhibit hero instinct. Others may not be interested and are trying to be friendly or form a platonic connection with women.
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).
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.
Another clear sign he likes you is if he is actively trying to hang out with you, or help you, or find out more about you. There are also indicators like eye contact or compliments, and showing that he's interested in your physical appearance, or who you are as a person.
He keeps the conversation going.
In general, whether over text or in person, notice if he is trying to keep conversations going with you. That means he'll always ask a follow-up question or offer detailed responses to your questions, and he never responds with just one-word answers or "lol" by itself.
Not every guy is the same, but, typically, when he says he wants to take it slow, it “indicates a desire for the pace in which intimacy, connection, feelings, and commitments grow in a relationship to be one that feels comfortable," according to Thomas Edwards Jr., founder of The Professional Wingman.
This feeling is what we usually call chemistry between people, or "the spark"—a twinkle in the eye, a skipped heartbeat, or flushed cheeks that indicate two people are truly connecting.
Here are the typical signs someone is attracted to you:
They smile at you. They make eye contact with you. They reach out and touch your arm, hand, back, or leg.
He'll come up with reasons to touch you when he wants to be closer. Physical touch is a crucial way to show affection, and a guy with a crush will look for any excuse to do it! Notice if he touches your arm, bumps into you, or moves to stand next to you. Hugs are also a solid sign he likes you.
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.
If he's nervous around you then it's pretty much solid that he 'likes' you. Whether that he just finds you attractive and wants to get to know you more, or he already likes you because he knows you well. Either way being nervous around the opposite sex is pretty much 100% that he finds you attractive.
No matter how confident or even self-obsessed a person is, they always tend to get a little nervous when they are with someone they like.
Blushing can indicate attraction, but not always. As we've seen, it can show other intense emotions like anger, shame, or anxiety. Furthermore, it can simply say a lot about the type of person who is blushing, more so than any reason in particular —for example, that he is the shy or insecure type.
