how to talk to this shy guy


Question Posted Tuesday April 4 2006, 1:40 am

I know this ex-colleague of mine but not really that close to him. I think i have a crush on him but i dont really know if he likes me at all.

He's confident, witty and a workaholic.

However, he gets shy/uncomfortable, when i ask him simple personal questions for eg: Do you go for swimming. I think he has a problem of talking about himself to new people or just not that friendly.

So one day, i gave him some sweets via his secretary (i didnt really know him that well at that time in office) and he was quite startled and stared at me and waited for me to say something when i bumped at him at the doorway.
He had those puppy eyes..but didnt say word!.
I pretended not to appear interested in him becos i was too shy.!

Later, i sent him email and was able to chat with him about work..and he responded quite well except that when i asked him for lunch, he just disappeared and dint reply yes/no.,,which was kind of weird.He could have said no..but he didnt.

I managed to obtain his cellphone and he replies all my sms except the ones on personal questions.

So how do i even talk to him tru the phone as a friend, if he's that shy since i don't see him anymore in office?

How do i get him to even talk to me like a normal friend?

Would appreciate your advice.

Sounds like you have a problem. =[ From what you've told me, he probably hasn't opened up to a lot of people and if he has then he's probably had his heart broken (Friendships, family problems, girlfriends) and thinks you're probably not interested him him because he might be self conscious.

When you talk to him, ask him if you guys can hang out again. If he gets offline again, then he probably doesn't know you too well or is too shy to say anything.

I have a friend the same way as a matter of fact. But I can tell you this. When you're around him, just talk to your friends about some of your interests. He'll probably find something that your interested in and have a comment about it! Who knows you and him may even like the same thing.

I hope I helped you the best way I could. =]
