I take it not a lot of you have been in this particular situation?
I have - but it seems like it really bothers you whereas it never bothered me. Either I was interested in him enough to assert myself or I wasn't and I just let it go.

I'm not shy, but I never asked a man out. I'm one of those who prefer the man to do the asking. If he didn't after a bunch of flirting I would have considered him uninterested.

Not since I was young. I meant the reverse situation. But there were times when I was younger that I was shy and would stare longingly at some guy that I was interested in. Either he would eventually make the first move or else it would just turn into nothing. I don't really see what the big deal is. Even when I was shy - I was still a bubbly person who liked to laugh and was a lot of fun. I was just nervous around guys. I was a teenager - I don't think it's that unusual. I grew out of this because I'm not really a shy person - but I don't see being shy as a weak trait. I will say that I agree with the other poster that shy people probably miss a lot of opportunities - and that is their own fault - but it doesn't anger me when someone is shy.
Both, like I said, I could easily get things started, but I go away from women that come off as shy or timid. I've never had issues with dating women, so it's not about me having some high standards, I just know what I like and know what I don't like.
I'm looking for opinions, not just an answer for myself.
I feel the same way.. If a guy is too timid to approach me, we probably wouldn't be a good match anyway.
Let's say a woman is gazing at you all day (in public), you make eye contact with her a few times, you get to know her a little bit in general conversation, but then you notice that she is ultra shy, she wants to talk to you, but she doesn't make direct contact. How do you respond?
For me, this is a turn off. Sure, I could easily go over to her and initiate everything, but I prefer it when a woman has the courage to go after what she likes. Timid, shy personalities to me are a weak trait.
I think you are expecting too much. For me, I can read body language well in sales, not as well with women. Being that I will be single soon I need to sharpen my skills.
Most men, including me for the most part, don't like aggressive women. If prefer your example, because it gives me the chance to ask them questions to get to know them and that's what women say they want anyway a "good listener", and people like to talk about themselves. Now if I ask her about her and it goes nowhere that would be a turnoff.
I'm not shy, but I never asked a man out. I'm one of those who prefer the man to do the asking. If he didn't after a bunch of flirting I would have considered him uninterested.
Can I ask what you consider flirting please? Is it the classic hair flick, subtle touch? I think a lot of guys could use clarification because we want to approach but are concerned we are misreading and will be rejected.
