Any shy guys out there?

I would argue that people who are shy aren't brain dead enough to play "hard to get" and even less likely to follow the nuances.

If you're acting like you don't want the man, and he is already less inclined to engage socially, being fed rejection rather than acceptance is most likely to be taken exactly as it is (and much stronger) rather than how you intend it.

No

I’ve found that cash makes all the difference.

Nah! I was quiet and shy throughout school. I always had girlfriends!

So I mentioned here I was in a singles group of Facebook. Well I told a woman on one of the groups I was interested in her and just said “I always liked chatting in comments with you and if you want to chat over DMs I’d enjoy getting to know you more”. She’s my dream type in a lot of ways but I know she has some of the same issues I’ve had with anxiety and not quick to being open to meeting someone. The problem I have is the situation is hard to read. You hope may be she would be open to meeting you but in reality my mind needs to tell myself I need to realize it won’t happen. I hope i can keep interacting with her in the group and maybe the situation changes but I don’t know.

Yes but I'm too shy to admit it
