Why do shy girls reject guys they like?

I was a shy girl, and i regret it so much.

There was this boy i truly thought i loved, and at first he was interested in me.

But my shyness drove him away.

He thought I didnt WANT to be with him. Oh but I did, on the inside i really did.

At a school dance, he asked me to dance with him. Every part of me said yes, was so happy, so happy.. but my shyness made me act like i didnt want to.

He really believed i didnt want to. And that hurt him.

From then on, he avoided me because he thought i wanted him to.

But the only reason i acted that way was because i didnt want him to get close to me to see the flaws in me!

Thats how shy girls feel. They dont want the people they love to get tooo close, because they are afraid that the guy will see the flaws in the girl and that it will drive them away.

But shyness already did that for me.

Please, just talk to her? Even though she might not like it, i bet you she really does. I know how she feels. And i dont want her to end up like me...

Because she's shy, Einstein.

We are extremely hard to figure out. We just really have to get to know a person. Maybe texting or calling to start would be a good idea? If she has anxiety that could also be part of the problem. Shy girls need reassurance. Basically, we're scared of being hurt or rejected ourselves. Don't take it personally! Make her more comfortable around you, and then she'll warm up to you. Try to befriend her first and slowly break that wall. Maybe you're moving too fast for her to comprehend. Shy girls are usually those who feel like they aren't pretty or interesting enough for someone liking so they build a wall to protect from being played and/or being hurt. If you are sincere she would pick it up. It's hard work but it's worth it if she opens up to you. Don't give up so easily if you are interested. Good luck!
