Many women find guys who are shy and withdrawn quite attractive.
It could be because they are mysterious and it could also be because they can be so charming.
One thing is for sure, they are certainly a nice break from the egocentric men who normally ask women out.
Possibly the biggest challenge with shy guys is that they will not ask you out.
They are often too shy, and would probably benefit from Tiffany Taylor's book Be the Guy Who Gets the Girl.
In the case of a shy guy, the woman will probably have to make the first move.
How to date a guy who's this shy can be tricky.
Small steps will need to be taken in order to get him to open up to you, and so you can avoid scaring him off.
It is a great idea to become friends with him first, before you ask him out or doing anything else.
He can get to know you without the pressure of a relationship.
You need to be especially patient with this type of guy because it can take quite a while for him to open up and come out of his shell.
But with a series of small steps he will come out.
It can be frustrating at times, but most people say that it is well worth the wait.
One good idea that can help promote him to open up to you is to open up yourself.
Tell embarrassing stories of things that happened to you or tell him some secrets.
It just might make him feel close enough to you that you can ask him out or he might even ask you out.
