7 Ways To Tell If A Guy Is Shy But Still Likes You

The big question that leaves so many girls confused – Is he shy or not interested?! If you can’t tell if he’s bashful or not into you, it can mean one of a three things – he’s not interested, he’s playing hard to get, or the trickiest one – he’s shy and cold because he doesn’t know how to approach you!

Reading a guy’s signals is pretty difficult to do, but it’s made even more difficult when you can’t tell if a guy is just waiting for the right opportunity or if he just doesn’t care about you. So what’s the answer? Is he shy or not interested?

While this can be really hard to differentiate, you can tell the difference in no time! These two behaviors may seem the same on the outside, but they’re actually very different if you pay close attention and use our tips to decode his behavior. If a guy does any of these things, it means he definitely is interested in you, but he’s just too shy to make a move. Don’t be afraid to take the reins with this type of guy and go for it!

# He looks over at you often

This is a huge giveaway for any guy who is interested. However, but it becomes even more important to look out for if you think a guy is shy.

If he’s really bashful and isn’t the type to put his feelings out there or approach you directly, he’ll still want to look at you – because he likes you! If you see him checking you out all the time even if he doesn’t talk much, it’s a huge sign he likes you.

# He blushes when you catch him staring

When you actually catch him in the act of staring, does he get flustered or turn really red? If he does, it’s basically confirmed that he’s into you. He’s totally embarrassed to have been caught and if a guy is shy, he gets embarrassed easily.

He obviously wants to stare at you, and his heart probably skips a beat when you lock eyes with him. But it’s all too much to handle for him!

# He waves or says hello

Do you both know each other? Is he an acquaintance?

If he does acknowledge you when you’re passing by, or if he goes out of his way to say “hi” to you, that’s a good sign. But if he disappears immediately after, don’t assume he doesn’t like you. Chances are, he’s just too shy!

He’s so into you that he can really only work up the nerve to greet you, but anything else and it’s just too much for him!

# You notice a shift in his mood when you’re around

If you’re confused if he’s shy or not interested, paying attention to his mood when you walk into the room can help.

When a guy seems to lighten up or even get excited when you’re around, it’s because he’s happy you’re there. Even if he doesn’t say anything to you, he likes you if his mood improves around you.

# He tries to talk to you – even if it’s only a sentence

If he’s making an effort to talk to you, then he wants to be conversing. Some guys are really shy and can’t get much more than a sentence out. Even then, it might be a little awkward and stiff. Just know that if he trying to talk to you, he’s into you.

# He gets more talkative via text

When a guy likes you but is actually very shy, texting will make things immensely easier for him.

So just know that if you are confused about a guy liking you, get his phone number or follow each other on social media. If he opens up a lot when you text and he chats for hours, he is SO into you.

# His body language says so

There are so many different ways a guy tells you he likes you without saying a single word.

If his body is turned in your direction even though he’s looking away, he’s still directed to you. He’ll do this unconsciously. Another way to tell if he’s interested is just if he tries to be next to you often.
