So I keep seeing people saying they are too shy to let their "crushes" know about their interest.
It could be you they are talking about! Let them know that if it is you they may possibly be talking about, that they don't need to be shy, should give it a shot and speak up. |

I think sometimes people say too shy because 1) they don't want to discuss it publically and 2) it adds an air of mystery to them.  No doubt sometimes it is a case of shyness but I don't always think it is. |

I agree. I'm really shy IRL but its very much different behind a keyboard or phone screen, people tend to be braver than they are in the flesh |

"Dear god no as ive said before i dont want to get blocked or worse still laughed at"
That is kind of why I posted this.
Honestly nobody would laugh at you, at least nobody worth bothering with. Hell, I'd hate to be the person that did laugh, the amount of shit they would get from every other forumite would be off the charts. |

I have a crush on my neighbour but i havent picked up the courage yet to tell her.
I am at the stage now where i can look straight into her beautiful blue eyes without been nervous or shy.
Next stage is doing it without the binoculars.

Probably, good point.
But if that's the case
1) why bother bringing it up
2) could just go the same route as "don't be fucking nosey, I'll tell them my own way"
Of course that applies to those that are bullshit ting about being shy, some possibly are genuinely shy. Though the keyboard adds courage, that's fact! |

I don't get the shyness on a site like this?! 
There's no harm in letting someone know publicly on a thread such as this or privately if that is allowed (filters/preferences). Majority probably don't come to much but still nice to know.
I sent a random message last night to a guy too far away, he's not seen it yet but my only aim is to make him smile.  |

It’ll always be a variety of reasons though op.. some like to speak so someone mentions them.. some may be genuinely shy.. others may be stating they’re clear on who they like and have no issue being open in private. Some people are very clear on their intentions.. |

I agree with Saffron here.
In reality people generally don't name names on threads because if someone gets left out, all hell can break loose.
I sometimes wish that people would mention names more but then, if people do then the thread gets accused of feeding 'the C'.

Oh, no I get that just fine.
What I mean is just say that you don't want to discuss it, don't hide behind "I'm shy" if in fact that's not the case and being shy has nothing to do with it. |

I concur.. I think that’s often the case. |

I'll also add I know some actually are shy, and how much of an impact it can play on situations you don't feel comfortable with. Though I really don't think you need to be shy online. |

I am shy. I am shy in person and I am shy online. Having said that, I wouldn’t seriously be saying things on a public forum. I would do that kind of thing in private. I always thought people were just messing about when they flirt on here, maybe I got that wrong |

Some are, some aren't.
Some are and play it off like they aren't.
I agree if there is any seriousness to it then take it to a pm with them.
However the threads in question can very well be a great stepping stone to get a feel for how people feel about you without having to take the extra step and getting hit with an official knock back. It has the potential to lead to great things. |

"All the ones I like know. I've told them. Always on the lookout for new crushes though x"
Same, I just message and tell them, I don't usually declare it on a thread for various reasons, though a wee bit of flirting doesn't hurt. |

If I named all my crushes it would be a looooooong list and no doubt I'd end up unintentionally leaving someone out. I pm instead and tell them x |

I’d feel too awkward to name someone publicly. I’m not even that direct in my private chats. I chat to the ones I like and hope they get the hints and see how the chat develops.
I also thought the flirting and chatting on here was all jokey between friends! |
