dude, lets create a site for shy people....maybe call it...bashful hearts..lol.....ok its in writing...if you steal the idea its going to be like that movie the Social network!!!
Lol...I like your idea there; that is very original and unique, actually!
Haha, no worries...to be fully ethical on my part, you can have 100% of the credit though, for your excellent idea
Ladies, would do you think about the very attractive but kind of shy guy?
I married him And I couldn't be happier with that decision.
I'm not the clubbing, social butterfly kind of girl either. I never would have found a guy in a bar or at a party--that's not how I work. I wouldn't have been comfortable going out with a stranger. We took a class in college together and worked on the same group project. We started having lunch after class together, and then that grew into going grocery shopping and making dinner together, which finally led to an "official" date. It was really sweet and authentic and gradual.
If I were looking for a guy today, I think it would be a similar process. I'd get to know someone I volunteer with or work with or hang out with through a "friend of a friend" type situation. You don't have to be overly outgoing for that to work.
This pretty much sums it up. Society has a stereotype of what a man should be and if the man does not adhere to it then he is a loser, weirdo, creep, f**, mama's boy, etc. A shy guy is in a difficult situation since he is expected to make the first move, be confident, be the MAN.

Only if the man wants to get a stereotype believing woman.
My guy is reserved and speaks only when he has something of value to say, but he is every bit a man. He is a good provider, a loving husband, moral, dedicated, hard working, and just all around awesome
The trick is finding a woman who appreciates that. We're out there though, if you look in the right places. When I look at my married friends, the majority of them aren't married to macho guys.
We guys really need a lot more women out there, like the poster below! A lot of guys personally dream of meeting someone exactly like you, who is single / available of course -- I know b/c I was looking for exactly the same thing

They are rare, though. Especially with blushing or modest behavior. I met a guy who I thought was a total player who never cracked a smile and seemed so arrogant but his friends tell me he's actually pretty shy and likes me. I think many shy guys try to hide it under a tough demeanor but it makes it more confusing to a girl who's interested.
I tried talking to him after his friends told me that but he just seems to get worse around me and clams up.
It's a problem if the shyness gets in the way of making a connection.
The biggest problem being a shy guy is people projecting that we have a tough exterior, when in fact we don't, but we are accused of arrogance and shunned (at least I was when young).
