We're both shy, who makes the move?

Question - (10 November 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 11 November 2010)
A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm sixteen years old and have never had a girlfreind, but a few weeks ago (well, 7) I met a girl who is just about perfect, it's just that I have the age-old problem of not knowing if she likes me or not. She seems to be the shy type which makes her rather difficult to read. For example, if I look at her she avoids looking at me, or she will look like she is going to sit with me and then changes her mind...

I don't see her that often because we don't have any classes together and whenever we do talk it's always me who has to go up to her and start the conversation, which is especially hard as she is always with her freinds... who are always hanging around near my freinds. But whenever we do talk she always seems to like it and smiles at me and laughs and so on, and I listen to her and smile and laugh and so on... we get on splendidly!

What I'm trying to say is that I really like this girl and I think she may like me too, but we're both too shy to say anything.

My question really is how can I talk to just her alone, and what exactly do I say to her? Or should I maybe ask one of her freinds for advice?

thank you for reading that, you have been most patient.

Blod agony auntYou could try talking to one of her friends. I agree with the others. You should make the first move. If she's too shy to sit by you then there's no way she'd admit to liking you if she does. The good news is that it sounds to me that she could like you.

I'd advise you to ask her out to somewhere she feels comfortable and can be herself, so you could maybe ask her or her friends friends what her interests are. Taking her somewhere she likes might make her come out of her shell a bit more. Also, be gentle with her if or when you do ask her out. Asking her too bluntly and straight out could stun her slightly, and because she's shy she'd probably say no automatically. So try talking to her a bit more, find out what she likes and where she likes hanging out, and then ask her. Build her up to it so that she's half guessing that you like her anyway. Good luck.

I agree with Serpico. Man up and ask her out. Or just walk her to class. Key is, make your intentions known and take control of the situation. Otherwise, you will regret it.
