Shy guys....turn off or turn off?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I was chatting with a guy online via a dating site and we had arranged to meet...but then we exchanged numbers to chat on the phone first. BUT he was REALLY shy! He spoke but he seemed nervous and told me how awful it was once when he was picked on by a comedian when picked out in an audience.

The problem is...I am a fairly confident outgoing person and I am attracted to confident dominant men. So this has turned me off him. I know that sounds awful but I would eat him for breakfast!!! Thinking of cancelling the date but feel bad about it.....but I dont think we are going to be compatible! Help!

If I felt there was a spark I'd give him a chance. Otherwise it wouldn't work for me. I don't like arrogance but people need at least a tiny little bit of confidence.

Give him a chance, could be initial nerves, especially if he hasn't 'dated' for a while. Nothing to loose?

Have you told him what you like? Is it a social meet if so we'd give him the chance. Play meet a little tougher because you'll be needing to say no if you meet and nothing changes.

Definitely tell him your reasoning though at least he'll know what to work on for the future.

It depends on the person. I've met a few shy guys and found them to be hard work. I like to monologue as much as the next super villain, but it is nice not to have to carry the conversation.

There is a shy girl just north of me that I'm very interested in meeting, though,

To be fair to him, he did talk. I asked him if he was a shy person and he said yes and that he didnt like being centre of attention.

Hmmm......well he doesn't know about my swinging side....as it is just a regular dating site...BUT chances of potential? Probably not! Oh dear! He sounds so sweet but 'sweet' doesnt tend to peel my onion! !!!

I just got the sense that he was a shy person and not just initially with me. I am told that I have a sexual aura! Lol...I dont mean that in an arrogant way but apparently my personality even in a vanilla /social situation. ..is flirty. .etc...so I think I would scare him to death! Poor thing!

Just go for it, its a night out at least. I've met some guys who were very confident behind a keyboard but not so face to face and similarly some who admitted they were shy but once hit with my infectious personality were a great laugh lol

Look at it this way, at least he is not ignorant or arrogant, nothing worse.

Give him a go, he may turn out a real treasure to you once the the first bit nerves are out of the way.

I'm quite shy when it comes to new surroundings or new people. Not sure if it's shyness or just nerves...but, i tend to think in the back of my head what do they really think of me. Once i start chatting and they don't give me a cold shoulder then i can just be myself..

I usually talk to anybody about anything but if they got nothing to share or can't bounce back in the conversation...i'm stuck.

Ok ok ok!!! I will give him a chance! Its just a drink afterall. I just feel sorry for him as although I am confident socially. ..I like to be sexually submissive but I like a guy to 'take charge' in everyday social situations so thats why I wonder if he is up to the job, so to speak! Lol! BUT...I will give him a chance!

Its been said before on here, and I'll say it again - you have to watch the quiet ones.

I have been told that I come across as fairly reserved initially....

I am a pretty confident guy, and meets wise - I have been meeting for absolutely years! But when it comes to chatting on the phone or sitting down for a pint (with someone new). I do go quite quiet. This is only because I dont know what you are going to say sex wise as people are usually around.

All that is on my mind with any meet is sex, what you do, what you fancy, what you have on underneath, but it's stopped by more regular conversation like 'do you want some crisps' because of that public circumstance.

I have been told that even in private I can come across as disinterested.. again this is only because my thoughts are of 'what is under that bra'. Get me in the bedroom though, and I am a different animal.

I thought this at first in the same situation. I tend to go for very confident men and believed if faced with a shy man I'd go no further. Then it happened, at first I didn't realise it was shyness as he was so confident in messaging. Gradually over a few months I've got more and more turned on by the idea of getting this man out of his shell and expanding his sexual horizon.

He's not a fabster in case anyone thinks im guilty of indiscretion, he's not even a swinger.

I would find that off putting to be honest. I like to 'engage' with the person..not just their body. For me..its the whole package that has to work for me to find someone attractive. Chemistry , flirtation, the build up....

But in my case...this isnt a FAB meet. Its a dating site...for a date. He isnt a swinger. He wants a relationship. So do I. Hence why I am on a dating site too.... so when the guy tells me he is a shy person, it isnt just initial nerves. Thats his personality.

put me in any public place where I cant be overheard and I am my regular self. The social meets I have had go from amazing to extraordinary as far as what people say. Things like 'do you know my clit is pierced', 'how long have you been meeting women on xxxx site', 'what do you find attractive about my wife'.. stuff like that or they will be sat opposite exposing themselves.

I really try to avoid them - and I have only met a handful socially as it is.

I should add...I am SINGLE so I am on FAB. If I get into a relationship then I wont be on FAB...uunless he and I decide to embark on that journey as a couple. I wont play behind someone's back.

I take everyone as a 'package', so one specific thing, unless mass murderer etc, would not put me off. No-one - well, probably most - don't like having to get blood from a stone, so a guy who's got some give, and does get to relax, and come out of his shell is needed.

There's a subtle difference between someone who doesn't relax and another who is painfully shy, but it makes the world of difference in interaction with them. Lots of smiles, oneself being relaxed, will usually have someone else relaxing before they know it.

If someone has poor social skills, which is not limited to those who are shy, then it can be a bit tougher. The worst social skills are arrogant pricks, who are prepared to ride roughshod over anyone's feelings, and I steer clear of them.

Some sensitivity on a guy's part is a good thing, and I'd warm to that person over an insensitive bastard anytime.

But, I don't want to have to mould a guy like a lump of plasticine, so that he gets moved this way and that, from position to position, so he gets the drift - it would be a bit too much like working with a manikin sex toy doll.

Everyone usually has great qualities, if they find the time and space to let them surface. I'm fairly patient, but if time is limited, then a shag meet would need to move beyond extreme shyness reasonably quickly.

One night out of your life isn't such a big deal, is it? It may be that you don't get on and you get nothing out of it, but a few kind words and some encouragement would no doubt do him the world of good. It's International Women's Day today, do what women do best and support and nurture another human being.

I agree. Nerves cld b a good thing tho. Shows hes probably a really nice guy. And its sumthing he really wants to do. Better to b that way than too cocky and confident. Most men r arrogant when that way and think they r gods gift.

Ah sorry, missed the word dating site... don't go there, if there is something you don't like about a person you meet on a dating site, don't meet them. The reason will get worse and worse and it willl end,mI'm in a similar situation
