janisc Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I used to think I was shy and in some ways I am, but the guy I like is really, really timid. He never starts conversation with anyone. We flirt with each other, so I know he's interested, but he doesn't talk much (and I took that risk yesterday speaking first)--I'm just very afraid of scaring him off. I purchased a card and now it's just sitting in my room all written because I'm afraid to give it to him. I was going to wait until I quit my job and just slip the card on his desk. I don't want to be the strong one. I always thought the men (maybe an unfair stereotype) were supposed to be the strong ones? I don't know what to do. Any advice? Oh btw-I'm NOT ashamed that I like the timid guy and hope the subject line doesn't offend anyone. I just don't know how to handle it, when I don't even have the one thing I always counted on in the past...WORDS. Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 There's no good way to predict what his reaction would be to any particular approach, whether it's a card or talking to him head on. However, if you just leave a card you lose all control and knowledge in the matter. If he decides not to respond, you are dead in the water. However, if you walk up to him and invite him to have lunch with you...or asking him to do something else...you have him cornered. If he's too shy to respond to a personal invitation, you don't need to have anything to do with him. You will both need to get over your shyness if you're going to get on successfully in the world of romance...so I suggest you take the lead and approach him at your soonest opportunity. Keep the card and give it to him another time. Link to post Share on other sites
