I've been told I'm too shy

Question - (27 April 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 29 April 2009)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Heya everyone, I sorta have a problem.

I find it hard (understatement) to find a special someone. Either I ignore the odd girl that has liked me or I fall for someone I get rejected by.

I have plenty of friends (that are girls) and most of them say that I'm too shy, I'm nice, good-looking and have a good personality but I just seem to be too shy. I don't find myself as shy, I'm just polite to people. Does that give off the message that I'm shy?

Is there a way to show girls that I'm not shy? I can easily make friends with girls but I can't find someone that "likes" me. Any help please?

Thanks :)

Thanks for the advice, but I don't want to seem to be asking them a lot of things incase I start to annoy them. Because sometimes I tend to ask too many things and they start to get sorta annoyed.

I guess it says it all in your body language and when you're communicating with people. I have the same problem, i'm too shy. I shy away sometimes and I guess that to them, i'm giving them the impression that i'm not interested. But I don't think being polite has anything to do with being shy. Shy people can be B*tches, and confident people can be polite aswell. You say that you ignore the girls that like you, is that because you feel nervous or awkward around them? Don't look too hard, someone will come along when you're NOT looking. People like confidence, so if you act confident, (something i'm trying to do myself)even when you're not inside, you'll attract more people :). Good luck finding that girl! And when you do meet her, let her know you're shy, so she doesn't get the wrong impression! :)

ilovebowsandcherries agony auntsometimes girls like shy guys to be honest i know i think shy guys are really quite cute.

but if you don't want to be shy if you see a girl you like walk up to her talk to her ask for her number or hotmail address or something. i am sure lots of girls like you but maybe they are shy too girls normally like guys to make the first move and because you're a little shy perhaps they feel you're not interested.

i mean you said you have no problem making friends with girls just act as though you're going to make friends with her and ask her if she wants to hang out sometime or something like that.

hope this helps :)

Woops, I forgot to add that the last person that I've known that has liked me was about 4 years ago.

And in the 2nd to last sentence I mean I want to get more girls to like me.

My bad.
