Men tend to be enigmatic by nature, especially when it comes to romance. It can be difficult to guess what’s going on in that male thought process if you’re trying to find out what their real intentions are. This is especially true for shy men, but the good news is that once this type of man actually breaks the ice and shows his feelings, you can be just about 100% sure that they are genuine.

Shy men are usually introverted, sometimes to a fault. There can be a thousand reasons why, but the mind-set affects everything they do, including romancing. For this reason, they will tend to “circle the target” from a distance, sizing up the situation before making a move. This is often misinterpreted as disinterest. Far from it. It is actually a sign of elevated interest - it’s just hard to read.

You may feel eyes on you, yet when you look around you won’t be able to identify the source. Your innate human “radar” will pick up signals of interest, and eventually you will notice a man, standing off in the distance, watching you. It can be a little creepy, but you shouldn’t take it that way. It’s not really a form of stalking - it’s just someone with an insecurity trying to figure out the best way to approach you.

You will likely have to make the first move if you’re interested. When you do, expect to meet a man who is self-conscious, embarrassed, and tongue-tied. Even a shy guy who is a little braver will emit a sense of uncertainty as he talks to you, but you will definitely feel his interest in you in more subtle ways.

If a shy guy receives a little encouragement, he may even go overboard in the beginning, like a school boy with a crush. This will work itself out, and you will soon be enjoying the pent-up passion that he has been holding back.
