What is the meaning if the girl cannot look in your eyes or she is feeling awkward when you are talking to each other? she knows that I like her since 4 years ago but im shy so i cant show it to her. Only now im trying to talk to her. Is being awkward good or bad?

Just take things slow, try not to rush into it. Try to spend as much time as you can with her but don't over-do it (like asking her everyday if she wants to do something). Ask her questions about herself every now and again. If she's not interested, she will say so, but if she interested then she'll play along and ask you questions and if you want to do something.

Remember, little bits at a time. Don't rush into it :)

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Im the one who posted the question, she is very noisy and talkative when she is talking to other people so she is not shy and dont have low esteem because she praises herself a lot. And I tried to get a different approach by teasing her a lot and making her smile, now she can look in my eyes whenever we are talking. But still i dont know what to do next?

It depends on the person really.

With me, I can be really shy when I:

a) Like someone and I'm consciously trying to not make a fool of myself

or

b) Avoiding talking to someone and being quiet so they lose interest in me..

For your sake, I hope she's an a) kind of girl!

Lucky786 agony auntIn my experience being a little shy is nice BUT being too shy means you'll both get nowhere fast.

Keep trying to talk to her though and I'm sure you'll win her over.

Personally, I can't constantly look into someone else's eyes when having a conversation with them - but that's just the way I am and she could be the same.

If she's normally vibrant and talkative around people in general and then shy around you, it could be a sign that she is interested. When you say awkward, is it like a 'I really don't want to be here' kind of awkward, or a clumsy sort of tongue-tied awkward?

Either way, each person behaves differently when they're interested in someone.

The best thing to do is to just keep talking to her. Eventually it will come to the point where one of you will be comfortable enough to say how you feel about the other, whether it be interested in the other or not.

So_Very_Confused agony auntit's not good or bad.. it's just who she is and who you are...

it may mean she's interested

it may mean she's shy

it may mean a million things...

you have to just be yourself and keep trying as long as you can... or until she makes it clear she's not interested or that she is...
