I have this boyfriend, he's a great guy and everything but hes REALLY shy. He hasn't held my hand or anything. I know he likes me a lot and I also like him a lot. His shyness is hard to deal with because I am completely opposite. All of his friends have told him that he needs to be less shy and I told him there is no reason to be shy around me because I'm not going to get mad at him or anything but he is still shy! Its killing me!! What to do?! Thanks for the help!!! Have a nice day! :D

Just let him know that he doesn't need to be shy aruond you! Hope i helped! [ xojenna09's advice column | Ask xojenna09 A Question ]
Juelz2005 answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 10:25 am: instead of waiting for him to make the first move...YOU DO IT! it might make him realize that it's ok. men are hard to understand sometimes. (no offense to anyone) so just you do it...if you wait forever and neither of you go for it...its never gonna get done! cuz your waiting for him and he's waiting for you...see my point? best of luck and i hope everythign goes great for you 2!

But you can teach him to be be more outgoing in your realtionship. Hug him and other things..and show him how to be together as a couple. [ dinoold's advice column | Ask dinoold A Question ]
iLjaG answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 12:41 am: Hah, sounds like you're talking about me. Im a very shy guy, so I know how it is to have people telling you to stop being so shy. For us, it's just hard, it just takes a little time for us to suck up the courage inside of us to get out of our comfort zone. But it will happen, trust me. It just takes some time.

xObEaChbAbEoX answered Monday November 1 2004, 11:02 pm: make him feel comfortable with you. One day you should say to him i have to tell you a quick secret and instead kiss him on the cheek. Flirt with him get his attention, maybe then he won't be as shy if you show your feelings out to him [ xObEaChbAbEoX's advice column | Ask xObEaChbAbEoX A Question ]
babiigurl076 answered Monday November 1 2004, 10:52 pm: When the two of you are walking together..grab his hand..not all guys make the first move ya know;] It's always alot harder for someone to become less shy once they are told to be more outgoing. I know from experience. Since talking about it didn't help at all, just be the one making the moves! Goodluck hun:] -Amber [ babiigurl076's advice column | Ask babiigurl076 A Question ]
megibooxO answered Monday November 1 2004, 10:52 pm: it depends on how long yall have been together. if it hasnt been long give him time maybe hes a little un-easy about things and isnt sure where to draw the lines with you. all relationships are different so you need to take time to figure out the comfort zone. . . even though after a while there shouldnt need to be a " comfort zone " because y'all should become comfortable. also think about he may not have had a girlfriend before and its new to him or maybe he has and just hasnt had a serious relationship with these kinds of feelings involved. talk to him about it and let him know where you stand if in time he doesnt eventually come around, maybe hes just a shy person... but he should lossen up
hope i helped

selectopaque answered Monday November 1 2004, 10:48 pm: Well, having all of your friends go up to him all the time and tell him to stop being shy is probably quite overwhelming for him. You might think that it will have the opposite effect, but it's probably just making him feel like he's doing something wrong by being shy and you think he needs to act differently. While you actually do think that he should act differently, you shouldn't let him know that. If he is nervous and thinks that you want him to act differently than he is acting, then he will never be able to warm up to you and be comfortable around you.
This is coming from a shy person. When a bunch of people come up to me and talk about how shy I am, and how I shoudn't be shy... it only has the opposite effect on me. Don't keep pointing out the fact that he's shy. Just hold his hand. Make the first move if he isn't able to. But stop pointing out his shyness and he might warm up to you eventually.
