 Confidence is sexy. A guy who can sweep you off your feet without a moment's hesitation is every woman's dream. However, there are also shy guys out there who are waiting to be noticed. But how do you know if they like you? 1. He looks at you when you're not looking Shy guys typically don't want to be caught looking at you because confrontation is not their forte. Instead, he resorts to admiring you from afar. Engaging with someone you like is terrifying and shy people are often afraid of being rejected or judged, so they rarely open up. Consequently, it's hard to tell when a shy guy actually likes you. However, once in a while, you may pick up on signs like subtle eye contact, which indicates his interest. 2. He tries to talk to you but looks very uncomfortable A shy guy usually stays within his group of friends, so when he leaves them to approach you, chances are he likes you. He might not have anything to say or appear very awkward, but it probably takes him a lot of bravery. 3. He treats you differently As mentioned before, shy guys will rarely approach you unless they're interested in you. When a shy guy likes you, he'll go out of his way to get your attention or do favors for you. He'll treat you differently from how he treats others, whether it's grabbing an extra cup of coffee for you or bragging about you to his friends. 4. He opens up Introverted or reserved guys usually keep to themselves and rarely share personal details with others. If a guy like this starts to open up to you, that means he likes you and isn't afraid of being judged by you. He'll reveal hidden interests and personal details he doesn't like to share with others. You're special to him and he wants you to know that he trusts you. 5. He seems annoyed when you talk with other guys Since trusting others is hard for shy guys, when he opens up to you, your bond becomes special to him. When you talk to other guys, he may feel insecure and get annoyed. He might even start distancing himself in fear of getting hurt or losing you. 6. He shows interest in things you do A shy guy rarely steps out of his comfort zone, so if he starts getting involved in something you like, chances are he likes you. If you sense that this is the case and you like him too, be sure to encourage him to do those things more. 7. He tries to talk to you over the internet Shy guys feel a lot more comfortable communicating over the web because then they feel like they won't be judged for how they look, talk, or express their body language. If you notice a shy guy communicating with you over the internet often, he's probably interested in you. If you like him as well and want to move the relationship forward, try calling him or meeting up. 8. His friends tease him when you're around Guys who are shy will often keep their feelings to themselves, but their close friends can usually tell what's happening. If you start to feel that his friends are acting strange when you're around him, they probably know something is up, so you should confront them about it. 9. He seems interested in you, but never really makes a move Shy guys are often too afraid of rejection to put themselves out there and make a move on a girl. They'll talk to you and show signs of interest, but they're likely to wait for you to make the first move. 10. He stands up for you Have you ever been in a really embarrassing situation and suddenly a guy you weren't exactly close with tries to save you? Chances are that guy has liked you for a while and showing his interest with a bold act of courage. This isn't easy, but he wants you to know that you are worth the risk and definitely worth fighting for. 11. He remembers little things about you A shy guy will remember the small details about your life, like the name of your pet hamster you had when you were 5 or your favorite pizza toppings. He'll try to downplay it when you say, wow, you remembered, because he doesn't want to make his feelings obvious, but at the same time, he'll feel proud that you appreciated it. 12. He tries to act more social than he is Shy guys will sometimes try to act as social as possible to get a girl's attention, to show her that he's not that shy. If a guy who usually keeps himself suddenly tries to become a social butterfly around you, he's interested in you. 13. He's confident at first, but then stops talking to you Often, guys with shy personalities will come off as confident and personable at first. However, once he gets comfortable, he might start second-guessing himself and distance himself from you. Shy guys are full of mixed signals and confusion. 14. His body language Pay attention to the way a shy guy expresses himself with his body language. If he's fidgeting with his hands, can't stay still, or won't make eye contact when he's talking to you, chances are he likes you. 15. He tries to talk to your friends and get closer to them Shy guys will usually try to engage your friends in conversations and try to become closer to them to gain your attention. Their goal is always to make you notice them in subtle ways. A guy that likes you will suddenly start asking your friends about you and leave hints with them. 16. He genuinely cares about you and listens to you It's really hard to get a guy to pay attention to you, much less listen to what's going on in your life. So if you have a guy friend who really cares about you, listens to your problems and gives you great advice, there's a chance he might like you but is too afraid to say anything.
