Would say it depends on their level of shyness, their ability to socialize with others, their own level of confidence, and other stuff. Cant just say "all males will do this", males are not one collective being, theyre all different from another and have their own ways of thinking and their own feelings, ect ect : p

I used to be very shy and if I liked a girl it would take forever for me just to work up the courage to talk to her, let alone pursue her. Of course this was before social media existed (even before the internet existed) so I guess now they could do it without the embarrassment or pressure of being face to face...

This would be a true statement at least for my last relationship as fella was known to be shy and reserved but came out of the woodwork for me....We ended up married but said fella is still quiet and reserved/shy around most people.... braver on internet as he can't be seen....

Blond is not shy was a little more reserved when younger, but somewhere with age got very confident and has never turned back....lol

Depends, my Husband was very shy when it came to me. I didn't even know he was interested until my friend told me. I even started talking to him once and he got a weird look on his face and said uh hu and walked away. I thought he was weird, but then he called me and we talked and we talked on line when he went back to school 2 hours away. I think it was more comfortable for him not to make eye contact when we were getting to know each other. Once he was confortable he didn't run away scared when I was near him. He denies that, but I recall at least two times when I was talking to a mutual friend of ours he got this deer in the headlights look on his face and walked away. For about two years I thought I freaked him out, until my friend said, he has a huge crush on you and he's really shy about it. So some people really have a hard time with that.

People always try to find black and white answers for something as complicated as a human. There is no true or false answer. 100% if the time the answer is 'it depends on the person'.
There are countless details about you, him and the entire situation that would affect someones 'opinion' on how to answer this. But at the end of the day only one person has the true answer. And it's not one of us.

And the correct answer is... (drum roll...)... why don't you ask him!

So is there a particular shy Christian man whom you are hoping will pursue you? If so, give him some encouragement. Smile at him. Give him opportunities to approach you. Linger after church (or wherever) where he will notice you.

Of course, if there isn't a particular shy Christian man in whom you are interested, why not? ;)

If the woman makes him feel like he has a good chance of success..

It's about confidence. If he doesn't have that, then he probably won't pursue her.

But I think that's okay. If he doesn't pursue her for lack of confidence, it means he's not ready for leading a family. In order to lead, you need confidence.

That's what I was wondering - Is there a guy the OP wishes would get up the nerve to ask her out?

Talse! No... Frue! No... it depends. I would say only if she starts ending up showing interest in someone who is kindof a jerk which, there seems to be no shortage of these days.

Sorry. Girly moment.

When I think back to that time it was sweet. At the time though I thought he didn't like me as a person. I was never sure what I did to him, obviously nothing, but at the time I didn't understand that.

We had so many mutual friend's in common that when he was home from college we'd often see each other. One time my friend had a surprise birthday party for her now ex husband. I went by myself and just before I left to go to the party I got a phone call that was a wrong number and when I told the man on the phone it was the wrong number he asked, well hey what are you doing tonight? I hung up on him. It was funny but at the time I was so tired of men and their games. The weekend before my now ex boyfriend had come to visit me, he lived two hours away. We were supposed to celebrate his birthday, instead he came up to break up with me, so I was not in the mood for any type of interaction with any man.

So I park my tiny little Hundai to go into this party. I was relieved to see my friend Mike and I noticed he was with his friend who I freaked out and who's now my Husband Dave. So I'm walking towards them and hear my now husband say, I didn't know she was coming. I wanted to punch him in the face, I didn't because I don't punch people. So I Say, Hi guy's, nice to see you. I was so glad to see Mike because he is like a brother to me and he is normal. So I tell them about the guy calling and they crack up hysterically. Then they both say, ha ha we should try that, idiots. So we go into this party and I make myself scarce, because men annoyed me. So I'm walking to the bathroom and bump into an ex ex boyfriend who wasn't very nice and actually broke up with me. So he's acting like this excited puppy when he sees me and I'm thinking, oh boy isn't this the icing on the cake.

First I get dumped by someone I was in love with, then I get a phone call from some weirdo looking for a date, then I come to this party and see a friend and a friend of a friend and the friend of the friend hates me and says, I didn't know she was going to be here. Then I walk to the bathroom and on the way I run into crazy man who I thought was completely out of my life and he wants to talk to me. So crazy man tells me that he was so happy to see me and he's really like to talk and that he missed me. So I excuse myself from that whole thing and go back into the private party room and try to find a seat. So okay only seat available is across from now husband who I thought hated me and next to this very cute guy who I kind of liked. So sitting there trying not to talk to now husband because I thought he hated me. Talking to cute guy I'm sitting next to. Just general chit chat, nothing major. Then cute guy asks if I want to go rollerblading with him tomorrow? Sure! We didn't end up going, which was okay because cute guy and I weren't really a good match. So dreadful party is over and I'm leaving trying to divert disaster and go home and curl up in a ball and cry. So on the way out, the ex ex boyfriend sees me, oh I thought you left, at that moment I wished I was home curling up in a ball and crying, but idiot me goes and gets tea with the ex ex boyfriend because I was vunarable nieve and immature. Ex ex poured his heart out to me. This is the second chance I gave him. Disaster not diverted, I end up dating ex ex again and of course he acts like a creep and we break up.

The moral of this long drawn out story is, if my Husband Dave had just talked to me like a normal human being instead of treating me like I was a person with the plague who would infect him if he came to close, none of that other crap would've happened and we could have lived happily ever after. I've told him this and he asks how I know it would've turned out that way? I just know and I'm the wife and I'm right.
