What do you do when you've got two people that really like each other but they are both really shy?
The guy that I like ( and he likes me back) is really shy. We've done things together as friends like played tennis and gone to hockey games. But he's never tried to kiss me or even go to second base with me. The most we have done is hugged each other. I'm really shy too so I've never tried anything with him, but I'm worried that if I keep waiting for him to make the first move it will never happen!
I want to break out of character and make the first move the next time I see him.
Does anyone have any advice on how I could do this without freaking him out!

When you are watching the movie kind of look at his hands to see if he is moving towards them if not it is all you. If you are really shy then maybe you could write him a note and tell him how you feel. I am very shy and the way i can hold hands is if i am in a movie theater. Maybe you could drop your candy or something and if he grabs for it then you should to that way both of your hands go for it. Its not weird that you guys both end up getting it.Sometimes when things like this it kidn of happens in the moment if you are both shy.

Maybe he's extra shy of you because he's not dating you! The best first move that you can make is to ask him out on a date. On your first date go to the movies and hold his hand when the lights go out. Lean over and look into his eyes and you should be set from there.

Maybe link arms while you walk, that is flirting but not to forward. And someone said kiss his cheek, thats good too. And you won't be going out of character, you do what you want, anything you do is coming from you, you just wanna bump the relationship up a little more, and thats not out of character. Good luck with the guy, he sounds cute. [ Docholliday's advice column | Ask Docholliday A Question ]

I really liked this guy and he just wouldnt make a move. I did the kiss on the cheek.. I could tell he liked it, but he was still too shy to make a move. I had to make the first real move. We are married now. Just go with your feelings.

If he leans in to kiss you then that's great! However if he still doesn't why not give him a quick peck to start with and see how that goes? You've got nothing to lose- if you know that he likes you he's obviously going to like you even more if he gets to kiss you! Good luck [ craazylau's advice column | Ask craazylau A Question ]
