So how do shy guys act when they like you? Sometimes it can feel like shy guys are playing games with you when they like you. However, in most cases it’s not entirely their fault that they cannot openly reveal how they feel about you. They are shy and usually lack the confidence when they approach a girl like you. In addition, it is difficult to know if a shy guy likes you because they are usually quiet and will most of the time avoid sensitive topics. However, some girls do consider shy guys to be cute and you probably can get a sense of their loyalty since they aren’t like a player going around talking to other girls. Knowing how to analyze their behaviors when he is close to you can save you a lot of time and trouble. In this brief video, I’m going to point out and elaborate some of the most obvious acts of a shy guy when he is around the girl he likes. There will be 15 of them.
1. The blush
You probably think that only girls blush. But wait, guys do it too. In fact, everyone blushes. A shy guy will definitely become embarrassed and nervous when he is close to a girl he likes. Although this is a natural reaction, a shy guy will make it more pronounce. You’ll see that reddish or pinkish glow on his face when he’s nervous. If you simply say something funny or crack a joke with him, you can easily trigger the blush if he likes you. Next time, try it out and see what kind of response you get.
2. He would not lock eye contact with you
This is another way of knowing if the shy guy is hiding something from you. Just pay attention to what he’s doing when you look directly at him. If he constantly looks away when you are talking to him, then it could possibly be a sign that you are making him nervous and really shy. He may sometimes look down or look away when you are talking to him face-to-face. Although this could be that he’s nervous, there’s also a good chance that he has a huge crush on you. That’s how shy guys would act.
3. He is always staring at you
Note that he’s not making eye contact with you. It’s a common behavior to stare at your crush, frequently. However, a shy guy will stare at you secretly and at a distance. He doesn’t want anyone to notice that he has a crush on you probably because he is afraid you may know and don’t know how to react. He will just admire you at far and may never have the confidence to go up to you.
4. He can talk non-stop
Some people say that shy guys have a hard time putting words together when they are talking to a girl they like. That is true but there are those shy guys who can’t stop talking because they feel the need to impress you and fill the awkward silence. Sometimes they can make the conversation really awkward and they won’t notice it because their mind is firing away like crazy and don’t have the time to slow down and reason. His nervousness may have taken up his brains and can’t control the random thoughts so weird things just comes out his mouth.
5. Loss of words
Generally speaking, shy guys doesn’t don’t talk much. If you ask him sensitive questions, regarding feelings, he might stumble all over the place. Most of us have a hard time putting words together to tell others that they like them and it’s especially hard for someone who is shy. He might be overwhelmed and the feeling of being close to you is nerve-wrecking. In this situation, he may stutter or even have a difficult time constructing full sentences.

Whatever you say or tell him, he will most likely be on your side. If he likes you enough, he will probably be okay with doing anything with you or help you out.
10. He over does apologies
“Sorry” can become a filler word for shy guys. He definitely doesn’t want to come out as too overwhelming, cocky, loud, or disrespectful so he apologizes to be respectful towards you. I mean you can’t really go wrong if he genuinely apologizes to you when he can’t help out on homework or answer your questions. It’s like saying “sorry, I wasted your time and couldn’t be of any help.” In addition, you will know that he’ll apologizes for just being awkward. But it’s okay, sorry to let you know.
