LindasCounsel answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 7:30 pm: Dear shy,
Now there's a handy excuse. Being too shy. However, I'm thinking he probably knows that you will IM him first. Unsure of whether or not he doesn't feel that way about you, but I can give you a few tips. First, if you "see" him on the computer, don't IM him first. Let him do it. And if he doesn't, please don't worry about it. You just want to put a question mark in his head. If he does eventually IM you, be friendly, keep it short and be the first one to go. Hopefully, it will leave him wanting more. When you see him, big smile, wave a little and keep on walking. You want him to know you like him but also that you can live with him or without him. That you're independent and confident in yourself. If he's interested, he will definitely throw out a few more hints.
Good luck!

XoUkrainianBabeXo answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 7:28 pm: He can be shy or busy. If he always answers and feels happy to talk to you then it is all good. If it takes him forver to answer then he might not feel that way. Personally I don't IM a lot of people first. I don't pay attenchion to my bl. It's just there if someone IM's me I always answer and I'm willing to talk but I just don't look at it. [ XoUkrainianBabeXo's advice column | Ask XoUkrainianBabeXo A Question ]
cpcaitlinpaige answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 7:26 pm: hmmm.... this guy probably likes you but like you said is too shy to talk you. you should make him feel comfortable around you once you do this he shouldn't have a problem with talking.you should make sure that he is talking to you if he is then there is no problem but if he ignores your im and doen't engage in convorsation then he is probably do this on purpose

xJanuaryRomancex answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 7:23 pm: i hate that too -- cause when you IM them you feel like you're bothering them cause they like never IM you first. well, yes, it is possible for him to be to shy to IM you and just feel more comfortable with you IMing him first. if he talks back and all then everything is cool but if he kinda ignores you and never says anything then he could be shutting you down.
