Hello,
I have a problem. I'm conservative and the guy i liked is shy. So what do I do? Will I be the one to do the first move? But i'm a girl and its not proper for a girl to do the first move with boys and they say it could make a boy turn off.

Don't like..pounce on the guy...but don't be afraid to tell him how you feel. If he's super shy, chances are he'd be relieved if you made the first move.

It is proper and the boys wouldnt get turned off. It just shows them that you arent scared and that you arnt prude. x0 [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

Evikins answered Monday April 18 2005, 11:53 am: Looks like you're in the position i was a month ago. Its not wrong for a gurl to ask a guy out. But this is wat i did -> I went up to him with 2 of my close friends-whom pretended to be hungry- and asked him if he wanted to have lunch. He said yes, and my friends ditched me as planned. Lolz, He was shy too.
So, Either u do wat I did, or you could start by askin' him questions that will hint you want to get to know him. If that doesn't work, then ask him if he was gay! (got that from a book, so don't). Seriously, just go up to him and talk to him. If He's smart enough, he'll get the hint and you two will hit it off. [ Evikins's advice column | Ask Evikins A Question ]

yesiliketobeme answered Monday April 18 2005, 8:33 am: if hes shy he might never ask you out. its perfectly normal for a girl to make the first move. and im sure it wonlt turn him off some guys like it when girls take charge especially when there shy.
hope i could help. [ yesiliketobeme's advice column | Ask yesiliketobeme A Question ]
illiana answered Monday April 18 2005, 6:21 am: if he's shy then he will probably never ask you out. It really doesn't matter if the girls ask the boys out any more and this may be your only chance [ illiana's advice column | Ask illiana A Question ]
missdesiree answered Monday April 18 2005, 5:53 am: Wow! I think this is the first time I've heard some one say it's not proper to ask a guy out. It is as proper for us to ask them as it is for them to ask us out.
If your really uncomfortable asking for a date, you could invite him to some thing undateish. What you invite him to is up to you, but it should reflect both your interests.
If he is turned off by your independance, be glad you found out now! Run far and fast.
When you ask someone out your paying them a compliment, and if he's a nice guy, he'll probably be happy you asked even if he's not interested.
The bottom line: It's appropiate to ask a boy out. It's sad to be so shy that your alone. Pick one. [ missdesiree's advice column | Ask missdesiree A Question ]
