How to make yourself approachable to guys? (guys do participate as your comments mean a lot to me)?

What makes a man initiate a conversation with a girl? How do you feel when you like a girl & want to talk but you don't because you are afraid of something? What is that "something" which makes you feel scared?

Pls. read a short story of mine.

I am quite a shy girl when it comes to making a first move. I like a guy who likes me too. But i think he is afraid of i don't know what, so we have never talked but share occasional glances. But now I want to take this whole thing further to some relationship. How can I encourage him to come & talk to me? How can i make myself approachable? Thanks.

Update:

OK I have liked your answer a lot. Thanks so much. But you said "Let men come to YOU". Now this is my point. How can I encourage him to come to me? I know he likes me. That I can see from his eyes & behavior. But what will be the best thing that "I" can do to make him come & talk? You said if you are not Asian (or any specific preference that he has) it doesn't satisfy him, no matter you are hottest, kindest, etc. But what if "I" am his preference? What role can I play to take things further as I'm interested too.

    Men aren't afraid of anything. And if they are, it certainly is not about approaching a woman. You are misssing the point my dear; when men don't approach a woman, it's not because they are "afraid", it's because they purely don't want to.

    This is mostly because of two reasons: They aren't that interested in her, (flirting means nothing, as it feeds the male ego, and men do that all the time. They have feelings too.)

    or, because they are waiting for the "better option" to come along. (And she always comes along.) So that when the better option comes along, they can be single and uncommitted and unattached, to pursue her.

    The only thing women really need to do to make themselves more approachable is either smile or make eye contact. That's it. Still don't believe me? Ok, consider this example that most women just dont think about, but it's real.

    Let's say a guy is into Asian girls. (You can switch "Asian" with any other word you like; "redhead" "foreign girl" "blonde" etc.) You can be the kindest, sweetest, smartest, hottest, best cook, MOST approachable and MOST eligible bachelorette around... but unless you are Asian, he's not having it. You can stand on your head naked, but if you aren't Asian, he's not interested. (Again, a reminder you can replace that word with whatever you want. Because men have preferences in women and they won't tell you what they are, so don't ask. Plus, it would be extremely rude to do so...) The great news in this is...

    Let men come to YOU, not the other way around. Because when a guy likes a girl, he will PURSUE her. He will make it KNOWN. Billions of guys in this world, don't get hung up on just ONE. And the ONE that isn't talking/ flirting/ seeking you out because you think he is "afraid" of something. He's not. He just doesnt want to. So now you know, and can make yourself available to a hottie that DOES want to get to know you. Good luck.

    Be confident in yourself. That is something that will make people look at you. You don't have to actually have someone fall over from staring at you to be looked at. When you go somewhere stand up straight and hold your head up high. If you seem like a care free person people will get that sense from you. Smile if some one looks at you, be friendly, and all around happy person. You will be amazed at the looks you'll get. Best of luck !! :o)

    let me tell how my gf did.

    1st it was for her fone. Something weird always used to happen (at least she thought), and used to invite me to mend it. Then sms'es exchange joke ones, then calls, then frenship, then on full drive.

    Let ur 'bahana' be some official work. He will understand u at one go if he has a liking for u. Any guy knows that. All the best.

    Go ask him his name and general conversation!! be frank as much as you can..make him comfortable too...dont go for a relationship thing so early..try to meet like this for 3-4 times,once you are comfortable go out..once he is comfortable he will take it to the next level..

    And that scary thing you are talking about is that if he tries and girl doesnt like him it will hurt his EGO...no boy would like to be insulted by girl. hope this helps :)

    You need an ice breaker. Give him a small New Year's gift or something like that.
