18 Dating Advice For Shy Men

You will have to exert more effort than normal to be with shy males since they might come out as unapproachable. Take a look at these suggestions to make dating easy and rewarding.

1. Exude a strong interest

A reserved man wants to know that you're interested in him. Try to give him a kind smile and a casual "hello" anytime you are in his vicinity. When you notice him across the room, maintain eye contact for just a little while longer. He may approach you or at least feel at ease if you strike up a chat because of your curiosity.

2. Take the initiative

Some males find it intimidating to talk to a female, so why not take the initiative and do it yourself. When he is alone and your buddies are not around you, approach him. This relieves him of the burden and does not frighten him. Let the discussion develop once you introduce yourself.

3. Ask him inquiries.

There could be uncomfortable silences while conversing with a shy man. You might ask him questions to give him the opportunity to expand and talk in order to prevent such situations. Ask him generic questions initially to get his thoughts and ideas on many subjects. And once you both feel at ease, start asking him personal questions.

4. Discover shared interests

Try to learn about his interests by asking him informally, looking at his social media, or speaking with his friends. By doing so, you will have an icebreaker and learn about more conversational subjects.

5. Show interest in his interests.

Try to discover anything you have in common with him if you can't. You may accompany him to a few football games, for instance, if he enjoys watching the sport. You may keep him company whenever he needs it, but you don't have to force yourself to enjoy it. When he is engaged in something he likes, a shy person is more likely to feel at ease.

6. Determine how he prefers to be reached.

Because it provides them the opportunity to organize their ideas and emotions, some timid males may find it difficult to speak to a female in person but are more receptive to chatting or texting. Similar to how some men dislike typing and choose face-to-face communication. Try to learn your guy's preferences so you can stick to that mode and restrict involvement with the other.

7. Don't ramble on.

You could blab to fill uncomfortable silences since you're excited to chat to this person and he can't seem to keep the conversation moving. Although his quiet might be unsettling, you must exercise patience and give him time to come up with a topic of conversation. Be at ease with silences since they occur often in relationships. Sitting silently may seem strange at first, but persevere and see if he shows any interest in speaking with you.

8. Express your emotions honestly.

A bashful man could miss small cues and perhaps fail to recognize your interest in him. You may need to be bold and upfront about your goals if you want to move things forward. You must demonstrate to him your desire to expand your friendship.

9. You shouldn't anticipate a complex romantic proposal.

It's not that reserved men can't be romantic. They are, but they don't see romance the way that movies do. He won't admit his affections for you in front of a large group of people. The reserved person would never choose to show his affection in public.

10. Be grateful for his little gestures.

While a shy man could forget to reserve a luxurious boat for you as a surprise, he will keep in mind to purchase your favorite ice cream when he knows you are having a bad day. He will stand in line for hours to acquire you tickets to your favorite performance, and he won't mind traveling great distances to get you safely home. Although he may not be communicative, he still finds methods of expressing his affection.

11. Avoid being let down by his proposed date.

If he recommends viewing a movie with some pizza at his place rather than bringing you on a date to a nice uptown restaurant, do not be dissatisfied. Avoid assuming the incorrect things. In actuality, he can find busy places overwhelming and favor spending time alone with you.

12. Do not interpret his quiet as coldness.

Don't forget that an introvert might feel overstimulated by constant conversation while speaking to a shy man. Don't interpret his lack of response as indifference. He would gradually open up if he likes you. However, after only one or two encounters, don't anticipate him to engage in hour-long chats.

13. Take in the quiet with him.

Recognize and appreciate the small moments of stillness between you and him. He could sometimes be preoccupied with his thoughts even while he is with you. Try to feel at ease in the stillness that is there rather than pressuring him to talk. Allow him to reflect as you enjoy being at his side. The ability to remain silent gives the shy person the ability to observe, sort through, and internalize the new relationship with you.

14. Recognize his talent for listening.

You complain about a cruel buddy, expecting him to respond with encouragement. But when he doesn't, you're offended because you believe he never pays attention to you. Your hunch may not be correct in this case. Shy males can recall even the slightest information that you say to them since they are excellent listeners. They are highly good at detecting subtle clues and nonverbal signs. He will understand what you mean when you mention that "bad buddy" again.

15. Show concern for his life

You might enquire about his upbringing and family in order to get to know him better. So that he understands how serious you are about him, pay attention to him. Ask him personal questions to start lengthy and in-depth discussions.

16. Be willing to start a relationship

There is a probability that your relationship may develop slowly if you date a shy man. Take the lead if the sluggish pace is frustrating you. Walk beside him and shake hands, or when you meet him, extend your arms and offer him a warm embrace. Give him a heads-up instead of waiting for your first kiss by kissing him on the cheek a few times before he ultimately feels secure enough to start the first kiss.

17. Don't bring up his introversion.

He could flush like a tomato every time you congratulate him. You may be inclined to chuckle and call it out, but doing so can humiliate him. Stay away from any comments that can make him feel more self-conscious. Simply ignore it and conduct yourself as usual.

18. Never divulge his personal data

A shy man needs a lot of trust and work to confide in someone. And when he confides in you, make sure the knowledge stays with you. He wouldn't trust you again and may not even beg your pardon if he ever found out that you shared his private information with someone else.

Ten Things I Wish I'd Known About Dating Shy Guys

1. Dating a person who never interrupts you will give you a great thrill. Or, if he does, he apologizes right away after noticing. It's nearly euphoric to be able to speak passionately without being interrupted.

2. The feared "quiet times" are just fantastic. You won't ever leave work fatigued and feel the need to start chatting endlessly immediately soon. Without the strenuous burden of filling every little gap in a discussion, you may both snuggle. Or, very undervalued happiness.

3. Just because he's silent doesn't imply he's upset with you. This one will drive you crazy, LOL, since you know that when *you* go silent, it's pure passive aggression intended to cause the other person to deteriorate over time. not to the quiet man. For a brief while, he is literally floating in his own universe.

4. He really gets along with text. When the chatterbox has access to emojis and some time to deliberate before speaking, the floodgates of chatter truly open.

5. If you don't thoroughly probe him about himself, you risk missing important information. Since humility and shyness are highly connected, he'll probably avoid talking about how his major job pitch went if you don't ask him about it. The more significant the achievement, the more your conversation will seem like 20 questions.

6. And you keep picking up insanely large amounts of information about him. Just when you think you know him, he'll reveal that he once met Obama and they had a 10-minute conversation. NBD!

7. He'll ask you questions no one else has ever considered. Don't be surprised when this person asks you a philosophical question like, "If you never attain [x long-term goal], do you think you might ever be genuinely happy?" He's spent a lot of time listening to you carefully.

8. On sometimes, he listens TOO intently. In other words, if you pretended to like a band in order to get his approval early on in your relationship, it will soon become obvious when you claim to detest their music.

9. He won't warm up to your buddies right away. Larger group circumstances make him seem as like he's privately roasting everyone in his brain between every quiet, courteous nod since he's not the sort to intervene much (or at all). Therefore, one-on-one buddy hangout are definitely more his style.

Due to his shyness, those who are nice and patient and who won't judge that person at a party who is standing uncomfortably by themselves wind up being his closest friends. And because, um, have you met your own boyfriend?, you won't feel the need to be "on" when you initially hang out with them.
