Women's Own: Can A Shy Guy Capture Your Attention?
Posted : 11 Feb, 2011 08:28 PM

Well, since we have so many wise and open-minded ladies on here, I must feel free to ask these ladies.

How can a shy guy attract the attention of the woman he really feel attracted to? Assuming you are that woman.



I know the opt out answer is to tell him to man up and conquer his shyness, but I want a more robust response that addresses all the factors. Thanks a lot for contributing

Hey Boaz, ain't seent you here on the forums before so welcome!:waving:

Dang! Mannin' up was sho bout to be my answer!:laugh:

Well, I was unsaved and a teenager and it was, even then, important how a guy approached me. Lines for me are a big turn-off. I recognize the courage that it takes for even the most confident (at least in their appearance) guy to come up to a woman when rejection is always a possibility. So I am always gracious no matter how men come.

The question in the topic head is, can a shy guy capture your attention. For me? Probably not. Unless you come out and make your purpose and attention known very clearly, I wouldn't be interested.

Some women like men shy and maybe thats a personality preference, don't know. I'm extremely outgoing and a shy person who has to be drawn out of his shell would be frustrationg for me. To me, shy=timid=don't know who you are. That may or may not be true, but it would be my impression. I usually deal with older men, 8 to 12 yrs older than myself for this very reason. I'm attracted to wisdom, men who have a settled spirit (no longer trying to prove anything, when they can just 'be' instead of trying to 'be') and men who have confidence founded in knowing who they are in God (their created purpose).

I'm probably not helping, (Dang! I'm tryna be robust:laugh:) since you also asked about factors or advice that could help a guy a get the attention of a woman he's really attracted to.



I would also add that a quiet man to me, is not the same as shy. I dated a 52 yr old man who had a quiet strength that was extremely attractive. Okay Imma go back to the answer you said we couldn't say. The only way a shy man would have any chance with me, is if he overcame his shyness and just came up and struck up some intelligent conversation.

I think a guy is hesitant to contact a woman he is attracted to because of fear of rejection�hurts the ego. So he will just venture on someone he is sure of acceptance though not really his first choice, am I right? �am just guessing cause there should be no shyness in on line dating.



An agreeable personality will capture my heart and someone shy is even more agreeable than one full of flattery.

If you want to attract attention -- you have to reach out. For a shy person that is hard. But how else, on a web site like this, will someone know you are interested?

Be polite, be a gentleman, ask about her profile (i.e. interests, job, pictures -- whatever), and make sure the questions are something she can answer with more than a Yes or No. And pray, of course.

Hola B! :waving:



I think we women on the forums make it a lot easier on shy men because they can gather conversation material from our posts. Haha! =)



I think I'm on the boat with BG. I don't like having to drag a conversation out of anyone; it just makes things awkward. Ya know?



Have a wonderful day!

:applause: You sure gave a robust response. I pointedly agree with you that idiosyncracy have a lot to do with the way a woman approaches the matter. Great input, thanks.

Mercymay,

You have a good point there, shyness rewards a shyster with second-best instead of the very best of his desire.



You undescored agreeability as a magnetic factor for you. Could you please expantiate on this?

Browneyedgirlky,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but I must ask: assuming that God gives you such a spouse that requires you making the effort to "draw" out the conversation from him, what will you do?
