Other than the p**** comment, I don't see anything wrong with what Ohio posted. I'm a good guy (well, I think I am) and I don't blush when people compliment me. I just say thank you.
And I agree with her that when looking for friends or an SO, you should be able to have debates, even somewhat heated ones, with that person. Because if all you do is agree with people, you're being phony.
The only thing I would disagree with her on is that someone who's quiet at first may not be shy and may be the type with whom one can have passionate debates. Sometimes quiet people just like to survey the scene first as to give them an edge.
I had a more than year long crush on a guy like the OP described, except for the handsome part. He was just average-looking. These kinds of men are the ones I would love to be with. The macho, Alpha-male types don't do it for me. Anyway, I slowly pursued this guy for over a year. I tried it for that long because of the supposed shyness. And, anyway, I am just stupid. I finally gave up. The experience left me wondering if shy guys are worth all the work you have to do to get them to open up and trust that you do indeed like them.
Somebody might say that maybe this guy just wasn't into me. I could tell from our interactions that he likes me but I could also sense the fear/wobbliness in his voice and demeanor. And though in his late 30s/early 40s, he hasn't really had relationships. Maybe this was an extreme case.

Reason: grammar
Ladies, would do you think about the very attractive but kind of shy guy?
I'm not talking about a loner, a guy scared to speak, socially awkward, boring, etc.
This hypothetical guy has a very nice personality--very sweet/genuine, great sense of humor, intelligence, modest, easy-going, friendly, wide array of interests:sports, film, etc. Fun guy and super easy to talk to...not really a "club" type of guy. Not a douchey player.
Someone who would blush and smile when you compliment his looks or something else about him.
What would you think? Is this type of guy common? Rare?
He's mine! I saw him first!
Actually I do know a man like that and he is gorgeous but unfortunately he's married. The thing that us women admire the most about him though is that either he has no idea how handsome he is or it just doesn't matter. I met his mother the other day and we got to tell her what we think of her son and it made her day.

Sorry. I like to be the only one with a vagina in the relationship.
Reminds me of a line from Scrubs:
Girl Doc: If I wanted to date a chick, trust me, I would. In the meantime if you need to share your feelings get a journal.
