How to get this guy to open up


Question Posted Monday April 3 2006, 5:29 am

Well, i know this guy from my previous office.
Ive left the office, so i don't really see him anymore.

This guy, he's a lawyer and talks pretty well when it comes to work but ends up so shy when i asked him a personal question in the sense that he doesnt even say a word.

How do i talk to him on the phone (ive got his no) or even get him to open up?

Is it ok for me to just call him occasionally to ask him how he is or wish him goodnite, even if i dont really know him that well?

The funny thing is, he doesnt say no or yes to my personal questions to him but he still replies my sms once in a while.

I think he probably knows i have a crush on him.

hi!! ok now when you say personal question, what exactly do you mean? if you are asking him just general questions and he is freezing up, then he is just a shy guy. but if you are asking him VERY personal questions, then maybe he just doesn't feel comfortable answering them. but i am sure they are not very personal, so he is most likely just a shy guy. i think it's a good idea for you to try and make the first move because you have nothing to lose. i would give him a call and ask something work related since you said he is not shy when it comes to talking about work. that way he will get his confidence up at the beginning of the conversation. not only that, but men like it when they are asked for help because it makes them feel important. so call him up, and ask him for some sort of advice that you know he could help you with. after that, then you can say something like "so how are you doing? how is work going?"... just general questions. if you are feeling brave, ask him at the end of the conversation if he would like to meet up for lunch or dinner or whatever it is you want to do. if not then tell him it was nice talking to him, and you'd love to hear from him again! then maybe call him again a few days or a week later just to ask him how things have been. at this point he will get the hint that you like him, but i have to warn you if he is REALLY shy, then you might have to make the first move and ask him out! but GO FOR IT, you have nothing to lose! if he says YES, then you have a date! and if he says NO, then you know not to waste your time on him! but as far as getting him to open up, it is just something that takes time! make him feel comfortable by talking about things he knows about, and before you know it, you guys will be talking about everything! good luck, hope that helps!!
