Shy Boy


Question Posted Monday January 8 2007, 6:58 pm

So me and this guy have been going out for 3 months now, and we're 16. So when we're talking online, he tells me all these sweet things like how pretty i am, and how much he misses me, and stuff like that. But when we're in person, he doesnt talk about that kind of stuff. Ive asked him about it (on AIM), and he says hes just so shy. I dont know what to do to make him less shy, so he can talk about that type of thing in person. Any advice? Thanks.

Well, one problem may be that hes like a really sweet guy deep down inside but when at school he wants to be "macho" so he may think telling you your beautiful and all the good stuff may make him look stupid and not a manly man. hah i know sounds stupid buy may be?

Also, maybe he really truley is shy and shyness is a hard thing to "get rid of" but at least he's telling you how pretty you are and he missed you in your relationship, some guys don't say that at all. Or also maybe he has a hard time saying things to your face (not trying to sound harsh or something.) But i know for me when I talk to a guy I can get my emotions out easier online because I can't see him or his reactions but who knows. I know you've talked to you bf but maybe try talking to him again.


Sorry I know I just kinda rambled but I hope I helped a little or something?

hmmm, a shy guy! that's toughh! Try and do something he likes.. like baseball game or basketball! Something he likes so he'll havee funn and be more open! Make jokess.. (not like knock knock), and know he'll open up with time! The more time you spend the more opended up! I know it's been 3 months.. trust me! Same problem.. took a yearr!

hey, well theres nothing you can do about shy guys. they just need time to come out of there shells. just let him know that he can be open to you and whatever he says your not going to laugh at. let him know that he can be as comfortable around you as he wants.

You have to be the one to open up and not be shy around him. Don't laugh at him when he makes mistakes. Be crazy and outgoing around him, then you can chill later, ahah. :]

most guys are like that, they think that by showing their sensitive side in public that their frinds/the general public will think that they are not "macho" enough. possibly if you take him out to a place (without his guy friends) where he feels comfortable, he might start to see that there is sothing wrong with saying things like...you're so pretty, etc. etc. etc. in place with actual people.

Yeah, this usually happens. why dont you start by asking him questions. start conversations with him. once you get to know him more he wont be shy. believe me haha, alot of boys are shy but they'll break sooner or later, just keep talking, getting to know each other more. He will get more comfortable with you then.
