Si I'm curious, can a guy who is timid and shy around women get a date? I;m talking about a guy who it isnt easy for him to just go right up and start a conversation and all that but maybe gradualy starts a conversation or small talk over a period of time, provided they have the time to do that.

So basically, would you rather a guy, whom, you do not know, come right up and start flrting with you all forward and direct like? Wouldn't this be sort of a turn-off?

Or would you rather get to know a more shy guy who will actually take a bit of time to get to know you and who you are?

Even if the shy guy stands a chance, how does he beat all the more forward and direct guys to the punch, especialy when he feels unwilling and unwanting to compete with them?

Actually, it depends whether he is good looking or rumored to have family money. We started a rumor in college that a certain timid/shy guy was from a very wealthy family. For the next two weeks he got more action than the football team!

I'd say they don't. There's a difference between going up and talking (making an excuse) with a woman you think is hot and actually making time with her. You're more than SHY if you can't at least talk to people. That's more of a "bubble syndrome" than the lack of being a "smooth operator".

I don't see why not...

But why wouldn't you take initiative and control over who you're going to share your life with..?

A shy guy can present himself well on an online dating site and get a date. There's a lot less pressure when sending an email versus walking up to someone and talking.

So I guess if you are a "shy guy" who is unwilling to be a meat head a$$**** or try and compete with the like, you are also going to be a forever-alone....

That's going to be the majority of people's conclusions.

Or the shy guy just doesn't compete for the same women.
