Guest Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 So, there's a guy that I like. I've liked him for a while now. I was told a while ago that he likes me. But now I'm not too sure because basically... he knows I like him and I know he likes me. So we both know. Yet, we're not "going out". I don't really understand why. He is a shy guy so that's maybe why, or perhaps he just isn't interested anymore? I don't really know what to do. I thought I'd wait, but I'm sort of tired of waiting, I've invited him to lots of parties and social events, but I guess I'm too shy to actually ask him out. I mean, sometimes he acts like he's interested, and other times he acts distant. I don't know what to do. Some pointers perhaps. Thanks
SmoochieFace Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Screw up your courage and ask him out. You would be surprised at the number of guys who actually do not mind a girl asking them out.
norajane Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Maybe you could try kissing him at one of those parties and see what happens. Otherwise, just ask him out on a date. What do you really have to lose if he says no?

I once liked a 'shy' guy like that too! I knew he liked me....he knew I liked him....yet it took MONTHS for us to get together. Sometimes very shy people have a hard time making the first bold move. Try inviting him somewhere. Make it low-pressure; invite him to do something very casual and fun, like bowling or indoor laser tag! SOmething goofy and funny that can help break the ice. If you make it too formal and serious you will both likely freeze up! If that doesn't work, then do what I do. IGNORE him. After sending signals for months, I finally started to ignore my shy guy and then he came looking for ME! Sometimes that's what it takes when you've tried all other routes.

What do you really have to lose if he says no? it might effectively ruin our friendship or make things awkward because we're already friends as it is. He probably just...doesn't want to ruin our friendship by speeding ahead into a relationship. Or something.
Spacecowboy79 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'm a guy, we can be funny also when it comes to this, it sounds like both of you are shy and are waiting for the other to make a move. It is a risk yes but in the long run you won't sit around wondering.
