Just in case a shy boy develops some feelings towards someone he will rarely be frank and his actions may seem silly, elusive or non-existent.
While most boys could easily talk to a girl and tell her straight up how they feel or ask her out on a date, shy boys will have to beat about the bush.

1. Caught In The Act Of Staring At Him When He Thinks You Are Not.cuda
The initial body language that a shy boy will show is the habit of staring every now and then when he feels that you are not aware.
This is usually what might happen, you find yourself seated in a classroom or even just with friends or even passing each other at a café, you look at him staring. The moment you try to hold his gaze, he shall look away in embarrassment.
They tend to act this way especially at school or at functions like parties among other social functions. Admiration is best seen in the manner conspicuous shyness prevents him from gazing at you for too long even though he cannot resist giving you a glance.
Timing and Location Tip: Make sure to listen in times that you are not completely required to engage in a conversation like when studying at the library or before a class begins. Unfortunately, you may notice those brief smiles more frequently than it is imagined.
2. Anxieties and Twitching and other Uncomfortable Movements
The shy boys become extremely nervous moment they come across someone they like and this even affects there posture.
Look for such symptoms as when the subject starts tapping fingers, twirling hair, shifting from one leg to the other, or even if the subject is adjusting the clothing.
Many of those clumsy movements are explained by the fact that one becomes extremely self-conscious about how one is perceived when in your presence.
Anxiety is most prominent in those moments when speech is expected – whether it occurs during a brief conversation in the corridor or a conversation during a party or when people are staying together.
And if one day you find him talking faster, or having a hard time to find the right words, he is probably anxious for one reason: how much he cares about what you want to say.
Timing and Location Tip: It is easier to diagnose if there is any learning disability if one observes him during the periods of low activity.
If you are finding it difficult to actually spend time with him especially in a way that will give you the opportunity of observing how he carries himself around you then there are indeed chances of you getting this done during those few minutes he takes to take a cup of coffee or when he is off from work .
3. Blushing When You’re Around
Blushing is one of the rebellious bodily changes that clear demonstrate inner feelings of a shy boy who cannot control his body. It doesn’t matter if he is attempting to be nonchalant;
his cheeks can turn pink in an instant to give it all away. He blushes when he is in a certain degree of stress and embarrassment; it is mostly brought about by question answers for instance, if you tell him how pretty he is.
The above reaction is likely to occur when you are in normal raport with him or when he is not expecting you. For instance, if ever that you momentarily interrupt a conversation that he is engaged in, then his cheeks color up, even though he tries not to blush.
Timing and Location Tip: Blushing can be more prevalent during the time when lights are bright such as during the day when outdoors of at a party, or at the situations when the lighting is intense such as at the office during the lessons.
4. Extra Mile – I Will Do Everything in My Power to Get Close to You
I mean a shy boy will not directly interact with you but he will try by all means possible to be close to you. He might linger in areas in which he perceives that you’ll be, say, the café you often attend, or the shelves of the library that carries your books.
He can also attend social functions he would normally not attend just because he knows that you shall also be there.
This sign is especially powerful if he chooses the places a bit off the way or he is not usual for him to go. For instance, if he is not very keen on going to the gym but pops up as a frequent gym goer because now he sees that you go to the gym, there is definitely something wrong with that.
Timing and Location Tip: Observe if he tries to be as close as possible to you as often as he can, even when he shouldn’t be in your area.
This could be during a cultural festival in a given society, during lunch time at the workplace or even on the use of a less crowded area in the society such as in a library, a café or even a park.
5. Approaching the Needy families in an unnoticeable manner
Cute boys are tender-hearted and very much affectionate but unlike their more spirited counterparts, they do not have spectacular ways of showing love and care but rather something as little as doing something helpful.
He will ask to do your homework together or do some shopping together or fix something that you evidently cannot do.
Such actions are his forms of practicing how he is still close without having to give his affectionate emotions.
This is perhaps evident in situations where, for instance, there’s a slight problem that you have to face and he is always ready to jump in… Even if these actions are minor, the boy is trying to convey that he does hear and that he really does care.
Timing and Location Tip: Be aware of these cues and look for opportunities during otherwise boring assignments, study group preparations or a day at the office. If he’s always ready to assist her, then there is higher possibility that the man is in love with her.
6. Because your gentle words make me smile (but if you start with compliments don’t make them loud).
Boys who are introverted have a way of expressing their feelings and it is known they might have a hard time to say what they are feeling but when they decide to compliment someone the words will be appreciated and will be flowing.
He replaces conventional phrases such as ‘You are looking beautiful today’ by phrases that are more probable to draw you closer, such as ‘You are so smart’ or ‘I like your sense of humor’.
These compliments can be given softly, or in striking a way that is inconspicuous. He might say it just to pass by and he will even do it through the message he sends you because he has no courage to tell it personally.
Timing and Location Tip: Pay attention to when he says these compliments because they are usually said in a low key conversation as when two of you are solving a math problem set together, or while the two of you are walking to class together.
In this case, he will be able to ask how someone is feeling when there is less expectation from the people around him.
7. Expressing Helpful Concerns About Your Interests
When a shy boy likes you he will try as much as possible to engage you on areas that you are interested in. Any kind of music, books or activities that a girl loves, he’ll sit down and listen and inexpensively share in those interests, contrary to what he normally wouldn’t.
For example, if you say that you like a particular band or a book, do not be shocked if he will begin to discuss the same topic, or even start seeming to likeing similar things.
This might be observed in your day-to-day interactions with him, when he goes out of his way to introduce topics which you have discussed. This is a way of creating a rapport with you, however he may be too bashful to tell you that he is in love with you.
Timing and Location Tip: Take notes when you have those informal discussions with people such as while waiting for a bus, when taking lunch, or when on a break. If he is trying to talk to you about the topics you like most then this is clear indication of how he wants to be closer to you.
8. Learn Allowing Little Facts About You
Unfortunately, shy boys rarely initiate, they are not the talkative type, but if you get them started they are good listeners. Whenever he is able to recall the things that you used to tell him such as your favorite drink, a story you once narrated to him, or a fact you once shared about your childhood then such a man is keenly observing you.
Such actions may include offering you a pack of your favorite chewy, or reminding about something you discussed in detail a week prior. At least he pays attention to detail which proves that he has an interest even if he lacks the confidence to express it.
Timing and Location Tip: This is important so do not look for the signs of interaction in these conditions while on a regular walk or in the evening all loosen up and kick back.
If he takes you by surprise with something showing that he did listen most of the time then that is a very good sign that he is into you.
9. Being Silly All in Attempt to Get Your Attention
Shy boys do not necessarily turn into arrogant guys who would try and show off to you in every way possible; instead, they and embarrassingly awkward stunts to get to you.
He might boast about it in a very indifferent way or he may try to demonstrate something he believes in his prowess while knowing you are watching. Most of his efforts are a little awkward because he is trying to make sure that you realize he likes you without coming across as forward.
This is most likely to be observed when instead of fear he starts showing confidence in something that he knows he is good at when you are nearby or when he rises up a notch on competitiveness in games or in challenges especially when you are an observer. None the less he also wants to be extraordinary in a way that you will find him impressive.
10. This is the kind of person who will often struggle to maintain eye contact even for a short period through regal dinner.
Eyes meeting is a little problematic for boys who are shy, much more so if she’s a girl he has the hots for. He could even begin to lock eyes with you, but after some seconds, shift his eyes elsewhere because he is uncomfortable. This fluttering between you with her eyes is a sign that he’s into you, but just too socially awkward to maintain eye contact.
It becomes particularly difficult to do during direct communication and there’s no way out of it. If he avoids eye contact with you whenever you speak, which however does not seem like he’s uninterested, then he is probably uncomfortable.
