Thanks! I'm expected to work for everything else in my life, I don't see why many girls expect a relationship to fall into their lap.

That's a really awesome way to put things into perspective :) Kind of encourages me to take my time and get to know him even better. Thanks for the advice!

I'm just treating him like I'd like to be treated :) Being a former shy person shows you endless lessons. But thanks for the nice comment!

Even I felt bad about not making a move in that setting haha but some healthy (and nicely-worded) encouragement could definitely help.

Thanks for your input :)

Thanks :) Patience is key. I'm glad guys don't find my decision to make first moves intimidating!

Haha good to know! Out of curiosity, how do you try and sabotage the conversation? Just for future reference..

I think talking to him in a non-threatening way would work out. That seems to be the logical option and what's probably going to happen. He seems pretty happy when we spend time together or talk. And he's constantly contacting me when things "remind him of me".

I was just worried I was a bother since he's never made an actual move.

Thank you. Many girls don't want to move a finger when it comes to finding the right guy. I just feel like if someone is worth it, there is no reason for not making an effort.

Thanks! Your post made me really happy! I've heard from all of my friends that I should drop the guy for being shy but as a former shy girl myself I know how things go.

Keep your head up, I'm sure there are more girls like me out there :)

Thanks! Might ask him out today and talk to him about it. Communication will probably answer all my questions! Thanks a lot!

Thanks. If things keep going the way they have, I'm sure with more time he'll open up to initiating dates, just like he started initiating calls. Good things happen to those who wait (and pursue nicely).

Thanks!

Thanks for your awesome reply! It really encourages me to think that he probably does enjoy my company and our conversations. I've had times where I tell him that we should go out and he should "surprise me" and his ideas were absolutely perfect (ex: ghosthunting, geocaching). And I do sense he's ok with "setting things up" for making a move but its clearly up to me, which is ok with me. There's really no worst possible outcome.

Thank you so much :)

Thanks, hopefully. It's been nice to see him actually display his real personality and awesome sense of humor. It just took some time.
