Question for the shy guys: When you really, really like a girl, will nothing stop you from telling her you like her? Or will your nerves get the better of you and you'll let the opportunity pass you by, even though it's a great loss?

At what point in the relationship are you asking about?

I'm talking about before there is an actual relationship. When the shy guy has yet to make the first move.

99% of the time the shy guy will not make a move. Fear and procrastination usually keeps guys like this from having the things that they have always wanted.

Doesn't matter if the girl puts "it" right in their face.

The shy guy will not take action.

Lot of men out there have this problem.

If you are the woman and you really want the particular guy...just let him know you are interested and see where it goes.

Don't be disappointed if he doesn't reciprocate.

That's sad to me. Because not only does the guy never go after what he wants, the girl is left sitting there feeling undesirable because she assumes he'd go after her if he really wanted her.

It's a lose-lose.

It is sad. There are many reasons why men act like this. The number one reason being that guys like this usually have never had any mentorship from a father/brother/friend that happened to be good with women. They don't go after the women they want because they were never taught to. Passivity is a huge problem for many men today.

If she wants to be approached I’ll start a conversation, see where it goes, and ask her out if it’s going that way. On the other hand if she is unapproachable, doesn’t carry the conversation, then no.

As as a shy guy, nerves will prevail and prevent me from taking advantage of the opportunity.
