No - that's still not what I meant. This guys weren't too shy or anything. I'll try to be more specific. The guy that I asked out that gave the speech - it was at this big event during college. He was giving a speech and I was singing with some other musical theatre majors. We talked a little big backstage - not necessarily one on one - with a group of people. But his speech really moved me - so I tracked him down via email (it was the only way to get a hold of him) - and asked him if he would like to go out sometime. It wasn't that he was shy or that he wouldn't have made the first move - it was that we really didn't talk for more than a few minutes - it was his speech that made me want to go out with him. He remembered me and thought I was attractive - he was totally up for meeting me - and perhaps if we had actually talked for more than a couple of minutes in a group of people, he might have asked me out first.

^This.

OP, it's probably that she's waiting for YOU to make the move. Why would you expect a girl to fall all over you and do all the work? She's probably not giving you her best because you're not giving her your best.

Step up.

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.

1) a woman doesnt gaze a a guy all day.. that would be "creep" behavior (when men do this they are a "creepy stalker"; well unless they are cute then he's just a shy cutiepie)

2) if you know someone is "ultra shy" why would you expect them to do anything other than "gaze" at you?

3) you can "prefer" whatever you want but that doesnt mean it will happen that way...in fact situations/scenarios never play out how one "prefers" when we are talking man-woman relationships you just have to work with whatever situation presents itself

Could be the case, perhaps I'm just not that interested in this one, but something about her makes me want to.

I would likely feel her out a while, talking with her and if the good vibes continued I'd ask her if she'd like to go out sometime. When I was younger, I probably would have been too nervous to do anything and done nothing. One day I'm sure some of you younger guys will come to the realization that you can't live your life in fear and just go for it. Seriously, would you rather risk getting turned down or wondering what might have happened if you had asked?

What is it about her that has you intrigued?
