Question Posted Wednesday February 6 2008, 7:28 pm
There's this kid in one of my classes that is incredibly shy. And if you're getting the impression that he just doesn't initiate conversations with girls, or he wouldn't hug girls or be alone with a girl, it's WAY beyond that. He only talks to his group of friends, if you talk to him he'll blush and give a nervous smile and turn away (not rudely), and if he's made to talk in class, he gets nervous and embarassed.
Clearly a guy who I don't even talk to is not going to ask me out or initiate anything. I've tried talking to him a few times, but he's just so shy and awkward. I was just wondering if there's anybody who was in this situation, or if anybody is a shy guy like this, how would I approach him? I mean, obviously I'd have to take things in steps by tryhing to have small talk with him and maybe if I could ever possibly be friends with him that'd be truly amazing. Some stuff about him is that he's really deep, he's incredibly smart, and he's like a rocker-type..oh yeah and he's an anarchist, but I wouldn't approach him with this information because there was really know way for me to know this information in the first place =\
How could I talk to him in a way that he wouldn't just shyly turn away?
Thanks for leading this long thing =]
