there is this guy who I have been friends with for a while, and I know he has interest in me, but he is shy, and can not seem share any feelings with me.  And everytime I try to get something out of him he runs away, but always comes back. what do you think?

Make him feel comfortable, because if he isn't, he won't admit anything.  Tell him it's okay to share his feelings, and that you're there for him.  Be sure to tell him that you just want to help, and you're not asking to poke fun at him.

I've been in this situation.  (Actually I had two friends like this one guy, and used me to get to him since I knew him well.  He wasn't interested in either of them.)  Just be honest with your friend.  Don't give her/him false hope.

if he did not like you he would not go anywhere with you, also if he is quiet around you being shy its because he does not want to look like a jerkoff, if he were sure of himself and outgoing he would be talking non stop to try to impress you. maybe asking off the wall questions is his actual way of trying to be interesting to you, in effect he's trying to impress but lack of social skill makes it seem a bit offbeat. next time ask him if he has a girl or tell him he is very attractive when he smiles or something try the odd touch on the arm shoulder or even knee dont keep it there just a single rub or pat or squeeze, this might kick start his 'ask her out engine' good luck

Real friends arent like that so he/she isnt ur real friend. I may be wrong..but maybe even your great friends and he is just shy..talk to him Gurly Gurl! Lol, thank you.

well bebe......if you like the guy.......step up to the plate maybe he is afraid of being rejected. So if you think he's worth some effort........GO for it.

Sorry but this somehow sounds a little odd to me.\nHe seems to know that you're interested in him but still doesn't make a move?\nIs there something wrong with him? Saying that if she asks me out I would accept but then not doing the step to ask you out?\nI'm not into the notes thing but if your friends know and told him already, what's he waiting for??\nIf he's soooooooooo shy, do you think he's the right guy for you?\nWell, depending on your preferences about a man, of course...

Perhaps he doesn't like you the way you like him and he's avoiding you because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings. Lay low from him, if he comes around then maybe he was just planning on how to ask you out, or how to tell you that he likes you, maybe he's shy. I hope he likes you!

this is a simple answer and it looks like you answered it yourself. treat the people you are interested in like a friend. sometimes, people can tell that you are interested and maybe even overly interested so they distance themselves. guys kinda want a little chase. if it's too easy, anyone can get you. if you're just out of reach, there's a little mystery and something a little intrigueing. good luck.

hey... go for him... i never have because iam to shy but that doesn't mean you shouldn't... you answered one of my questions before about my friend. I tried to email you cause you wanted to see a pic of me but it wont let me... thanks for your advice!

Maybe he is just shy that you wouldnt want to date him. OR he could be waiting for YOU to make the first move... You know, trying to play hard to get... But usually, guys wont do that, not that any I know anyway...

He might be just as shy as you are.  I hate to say it, but you may have to be brave to get what you want.  Introduce it as something casual - not a date.  Like ask if he wants to go hang out doing something you both like to do.  The best relationships go slow and start as friends.  Good luck.

They always say if at first you don't succeed try again so basically I think you should. Hopefully after so many tries he'll give you a chance. On the other hand, if he told you he's not interest than maybe you should try friendship as an option. It's best to be there for him somehow even if it's not the way you want. I am sure the right man will come along soon or he will come to it don't sweat it!

if you put yourself out there and made the first move and he didnt grab at it, i wouldnt do it again with this guy. If he is interested, leave it up to him to make the next move. if you do it, it will just make you seem like you cant take no for an answer and he may be uncomfortable. Keep spending time with him, let him know that your interest hasnt changed, and if he's interested hopefully he will sum up the courage to act on it!

Sounds like he does! Listen if you really like him you need to let him know before he gets to the point that he feels that anything more would mess up the friendship. If he doesn't feel for you the way you hope Hell you still got one totally awesome friend!

yo, it sounds like he may be afraid to make the first move ... if you think he really likes you.. go for it, youl do him a favor if hes really afraid.. if not he will just say sry not interested... no harm done

Maybe he was a little shy & timid.If he had to look around then he is definitely trying to hide his feelings.He may have changed the subject for another reason-he wants you to know that he was interested but pretends to be nonchalant about the question itself...as if it was just an innocent question that anybody would ask.Indeed he's interested,in my opinion...perhaps he wants you to chase or make the next move because like most people he isn't use to rejection.I've been wrong many times b4...but that's just my 2 cents!

Yeah I think he likes you but maybe he's just shy.  Why don't you try talking to him, see what his reaction is.  You could just start off with casual conversation and take it from there.
