Do shy guys make good boyfriends?

I am in the beginning stages of dating a shy guy. It's like pulling teeth to get him to make a move, but he's super receptive when I initiate talking, hand holding, etc. Do these guys get better as they get to know you or are the relationships pretty one-sided? I want to know if it's worth putting effort into starting a relationship with this guy or if shy ones are pretty much hopeless at romance.

1. shy guys are soooo fun. ;-)
2. Yea I would think so. Then out of no where their wild side comes out then your like WOAH!
3. yeah i guess so cus im shy and the last gill i went out wit told me she wish we could still go out but we cant cus she moved
4. shy guys are often freaksss looks can be decieving after a while they tend to open up depending on how close you guys are
5. It depends on you and on the guy. Sometimes, it works out so much better than you could have imagined. Other times, it just all falls apart. If you think you really like him, then really work at it, but if you're not willing to put in the effort, you'll never get anything out of it and it'll fall apart. Consider carefully and good luck!
6. they can be nice or they could be pshyco killers huh u never know
7. Lol, we are in the same situation, I think it does get better.. Remember to "reward" him when he makes the first move, like by saying "I love it when you do that" etc...It'll raise his confidence level :)
8. For me I like a guy that can take the lead, but shy guys are super nice, and are usually very honest. Those are good things to base relationships on. As time goes on he will become more comfortable with you. Try doing little things like kissing him on the cheek and see his reaction. Hope I helped:)
9. He'll open up to you. Thats a good thing Honey. u don't want a guy that will put his hands all over u cause u don't know where those hands have been... Its good to take ur time and gradually build up to a nice relationship. Just enjoy his company and he will open up to u....
10. shy guys arn't so fun but it depends on the guy
11. yes thye do they have to adjust to you
12. it is worth putting the effort.. eventually he will get comfortable enough with you that he will be the one ripping your panties off
13. i like a shy guy but iv found out that around his friends hes not shy...
14. My boyfried of nearly a year is very shy. The only time it really bothers me is when others (my family and friends) dont know what a great guy he is because he never talks to them. If you put enough time into him eventually he will become more confident around you and not so shy.
15. We can make good boyfriends so long as we can build confidence in ourselves. I used to be really shy and in a constant state of anxiety over whether or not I was "doing it right" or "looking cool" in my girlfriend's eyes. Try doing or saying things to boost his confidence and make sure it's an honest boost to his confidence. Also don't gas his head p too much because that could easily turn him into a creep.
16. I've been with my really shy boyfriend for nearly a year. Let me tell you, the getting him to make a move doesn't get that much easier, maybe slightly , but not really. I still make most the first moves for meeting up, kissing, sex etc. But omg it's soo worth it. As you said they are really receptive, give you their full attention and will do pretty much anything you want if you just ask! On the plus side, it is really sweet that he's worried about messing things up with you. Trust me, it's more hard work, bu it's soooo worth it, they're more romantic than normal guys, in fact I've always deliberately gone for the shy guys. I've never been so happy and I'm in the middle of planning my engagement (yes he's letting me plan it how i want lol). I guess it suits me to have someone shy and emotional though cos I'm a "get what i want" kinda girl (honestly he'll jump and do anything for me) and pretty much a robot... not emotional at all lol.
17. i love shy guys :) my guy was so worth the chase. now he's totally warmed up and more fun than i ever could've imagined! stick with him!
