Many women find shy and withdrawn men attractive. It could be because they are mysterious and it could also be because they can be so charming. One thing is for sure, they certainly are a nice break from the self-centered men who normally ask women out. Possibly the biggest challenge with shy guys is that they won’t ask you out. They are often too shy and would probably benefit from Tiffany Taylor’s book Be the Guy Who Gets the Girl. In the case of a shy guy, the woman probably has to make the first move.
How to date a guy who is so shy can be tricky. You will have to take small steps to get him to open up to you so you can avoid scaring him off. It’s a great idea to make friends with him first, before asking him out or doing anything else. He can get to know you without the pressure of a relationship. You have to be especially patient with this type of guy because it can take a while for him to open up and come out of his shell. But with a series of small steps he will come out. It can be frustrating at times, but most people say it’s worth the wait.
A good idea that can help encourage him to open up to you is to open up yourself. Tell him embarrassing stories of things that happened to you or tell him some secrets. It might make him feel close enough to you to ask him out or he might even ask you out.
