1. Compare His Behavior
Watch his behavior around you versus his friends or other acquaintances. If it’s very obvious that he acts differently around you compared to his friends or just other people in general, he probably likes you and is still trying to figure out how to act around you! This is one of the most important signs a shy guy likes you to look for!
2. He Gets Nervous
There is one particular way that he may act different around you that can almost confirm any suspicions you may have. If he clams up whenever you’re around, can’t look you in the eye, or just generally seems uneasy, there’s a pretty good chance that he likes you! Guys don’t get nervous around girls for no reason!
Frequently asked questions
It's tricky, right? Shy guys are mysterious. But if he makes an effort to be around you, even if he's quiet, it's a big sign. He might also show nervous habits, like fidgeting or avoiding eye contact. Look for small but meaningful gestures!
Oh, love from a shy guy can be like spotting a rare gem! He'll remember little things you say and do thoughtful acts that he might not do for others. If he opens up to you more than anyone else, that's a huge sign.
Hmm, 'stalk' is a strong word. They might check out your social media more or seem to know a lot about you because they pay close attention. It's usually more about curiosity and less about anything creepy.
Look for the subtle cues! He'll glance your way when he thinks you're not looking, and his friends might tease him when you're around. Also, he might stumble over his words or get awkwardly quiet. It's cute, really.
Shy guys communicate a lot through their body language. If he's always finding ways to be near you or his face lights up when you walk into the room, those are good signs. Also, any small chat conversations he starts are his way of reaching out.
3. He’s Constantly Popping up Everywhere
If you can’t seem to get away from him, he’s either stalking you or likes you and doesn’t know how to show it. If he’s stalking you, you have bigger problems on your hands, but if he simply likes you and doesn’t know how to show it, try talking to him the next time he randomly pops up!
4. He Loves Texting
Everyone has come across those guys who love to text at all hours of the day, yet when it comes time for face-to-face interaction, he acts like you don’t know each other at all! This is just another aspect of his nerves around you. If you’re feeling gutsy, call him out on it, but if not, just try to talk in person more and more as time progresses.
5. Watch His Friends
When you’re around him and his friends, watch their reactions. They may be subtle, but if they even slightly tease him about your presence, you can safely assume that he likes you. If his friends are bugging him about you, you can almost be sure that he has feelings for you!
6. Ask for a Favor
If you think he likes you but want to test your theory to be sure, ask him for a favor. No matter how big or small the favor is, if he jumps to help you out and is more than willing to be of assistance, he probably likes you. There are very few men out there who are excited to do someone a favor if they don’t like the girl they’re doing the favor for!
7. You Haven’t Talked to Him in a While
If you haven’t really had a real conversation since you first met, he may be too nervous to even talk to you! If you see him all of the time but can’t remember the last time you had a substantial conversation, it may just be a sign that he’s too shy or nervous to talk to you!

Harsha: There's this guy in my class who seems to be very shy. He acts differently around me but when it comes to initiating a conversation , he gets nervous. He flaunts around me and tries to make me laugh. He talks to everyone in the class except Me. He is not making even a single move to show me that. He stares at me all the time but when i catch him, he starts looking away. The classes are over now and not a single thing has happened. I started falling for him because he was different than others. Now that the class is over, we don't meet. Please tell me if i should confess my feelings to him or am i taking the signs wrong? Help me Please!
Arianna: There's this guy who stares at me for no reason I mean he stares without any emotions. He's a laid back guy and I have caught him staring from the corner of my eye. There was this one time when the hallway was empty and I was walking to class he walked right by me while running his hands through his hair. He's tried to come in my line of vision a few times and he has also done the my-friend-is-going-to-check-you-out thing. I find him attractive and this girl told me he wasn't looking for a relationship. And then at the same time the same girl tells me that he kissed some other girl. (Could be a rumour) I don't know what he wants honestly! I dont know if he stares anymore as school has ended. Help me?
Noname: *Men=me .. Typo makes me sick
Noname: *Handschool=handshook
CortneyD: I had this guy in my art class and he had all signs. The reason why he was shy because I'm deaf. He's confident around everyone except me. He got nervous when he sat next to me. He never talked to me. Everytime he see me, he fidgets his hair. Then one day, I talked to a class mate about him, I found out he has a girlfriend. Yeah, it stings because I fell hard for him. Well that's my story.
Hair: I met him at this thing for church in my parents communitee and he was their and we took care of the kids together. I didn't like him a lot when we first met but then I got to know him more and I couldn't stop smiling he's shy towards other people but when he talks to me he so flirtatious and sweet but the thing is is that I'm not actually sure if he likes me and my freinds say he does but I'm confused and the fact I'm not sure if in aloud to date ( really strict parents )
Neismy: There is this one guy. When we first met he would smile at me so now and then but never really talk to me... I remember he used to watch me ever so slightly as for me not to notice him, but oh yes I did. I noticed and I found him so mysterious but sweet at the same time. He became somehow my best friend during the whole summer. We could talk about anything and had so many jokes than only we knew. Gosh I fell for him, I did and I did really really hard. Sadly we stopped talking and I tried so hard to get him off my mind, without any progress. Man 2 years now and my heart still beats fast. Now, he looks at me so now and then but every time he turns his face the other way. It seems like we have the same schedule around school, every change of classes and lunch I see him, but I don't think he sees me. Oh my, he's so shy I've known him for a while now
Paulina: Love it
Celeste: there was this guy who used to work really close to me in a shopping centre. Everytime he walked past he would look in and smile at me and even walk really slowly glancing around just to find me. When he would come into my work he acted so nervous and when I looked up at him he'd quickly look away. I added him on facebook and we chat every now and then. I've asked him out for coffee. He's said yes but then has cancelled at the last minute. This has happened twice. I'm kinda confused ahh!
Jessica: I work at CFA and he would always come in there just to see me but at first, he wouldn't talk to me and now, we hangout all the time & are together. #yayforshyguys
