Lately my friend has been dealing with a guy whos not into her as much as she is into him. ive been helping her stay happy cuz she really likes him and cant let him go. then she sent me a message like this "Uk what I figured it out no guy wants to date me cause im too dam shy… no guy wants to date a shy chick… that’s it that’s the reason y I can find anyone that and im a nice person sometimes too nice which Is why I always end up getting hurt… yepp that sounds just about right to me"

How can i build up her confidence? Or change her mind? what can i say to her to make it better.

It is NOT true that no guy wants to date a shy girl! Shyness can be challenge for a guy or girl especially when it comes to dating, but it certainly doesn't mean no one wants to date that person. I'm a guy and I sometimes wish I were with a girl who was kind of shy like me...I think those girls are just harder to find and it can be harder to tell if they are single and looking for a guy when you do meet them.

I think that they key is to just be oneself. Being shy or quiet is fine. Some guys definitely go for that (me included). For a girl I think that the best thing to do is try as hard as possible to communicate with the guy and express interest, as hard as it can be for a shy person. I think that a guy will be more forgiving than she thinks...just because it doesn't work out with one person doesn't mean that no guy will like her!

It is obviously hard for anyone when a relationship is breaking down...just be there for her and be someone she can talk to. After she has had some time to think things through, encourage her and accompany her on outings in places she's comfortable where she would have the chance to meet guys.

Good luck.

try having your friend let lose.... tell her she will find someone, i know this sounds cliche but you just have to wait, time heals. I know as well as everyone else that it is NOT EASY getting over people! but it just happens. good luck!
