ok im 15/f and i really like this guy but he's so shy!! he barely talks online to anyone even his friends! i want him to open up cause the only time he talked a lot was at school in class but schools out now so we never see eachother! he's never even had a gf before so that might be why he's so shy but i really want him to open up so how can i do that!
wet_as_water answered Thursday June 16 2005, 3:58 pm: OMG YOU STOLE MY LIFE!!! ive been in that situation before. all i have to tell you is you need to have a whole lot of patience and understanding.guys like that love to take the safe route. opening up makes them feel vulnerable. they could get hurt easily from other people who have been in the game for a while.if you really want to be with him your gonna have to wait for him. and if you dont have that kind of time then just stick to being friends and move on to the next. i hope i helped.

Do something active, like an amusement park, or something you are both interested in. [ sunrise2891's advice column | Ask sunrise2891 A Question ]
pinkfairy1773 answered Thursday June 16 2005, 8:42 am: aww first let me say that you are really sweet giving this guy a chance to open up...
well i know what you mean. a typical shy type.
1. teachers thing that his goody too shoes or at least a silent type
2. he has friends of different age (such as year older) and friends in his neighborhood.
3. likes to play guitar. or some sort
4. listen to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers...
5. talks to you in class, usually, then when you see him out side of the class room such as emailing or phone call, he is so quiet..that its so awkward that you make up dum excuse to hang up or stop writing email.
and this might not apply to all the shy guys but it should match up pretty close.
i mean i know this because i had a crush on this shy guy. i got his phone number because his little sis knew my sis. so i called him then we talked for like 30 min or so...mostly me talking and he answering question i guess or something
and later it got so silent and awqward...i stopped calling. then i gave him some "space"
then called him again, and we talked for like 1 hour and something and that time we actually laughed and all that and he actually said i will talk to you tomorrow...
and well tomorrow didnt turned out good..because, first of all , his a jerk! and well only my buddy...he said he didnt care whether i liked him or not...
and anyways... you should try that... talking to him on phone i mean. it actually opens people up if you talk with right conversations.
i mean my crush didnt turn out good but he even told me that he wore Bat man Costume for halloween when he was 4...i mean how many guys will admit that to a girl =)
so talk to him but dont call like everyday, because he might feel "frighten" well frighten might be little exaageration but he will feel awkward. and if you call him once a week on same day, he will be like waiting and counting the days until you call him on that certain day =)
and he might call you if he cant wait =)
so get to know him. question him (not to personal but like fave food fave band)
and oh yea if you run out of things to talk about, ask him "hey do you listen to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers?"
and if you need more things to talk about, email me
Gorda1224 answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 8:01 pm: Hey,
why dont you call him or talk to him online. Maybe he could feel coinfidant with you talkin to him and may be he will start liking you. Just try to gain his confidence.......dont expect him to be completly open with you in the beginig.....just start off slow and take it from there.

eLiSe answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 6:31 pm: Well online, just ask him about himself like what did you do today and what kind of things he likes and stuff like that. Then if he talks more ask him if he wants to go to the pool w/ you one day or something if he's not too busy! Ok well hope i helped! love yah! [ eLiSe's advice column | Ask eLiSe A Question ]
