Love-shyness: Of Men That Can't/don't Approach Women. by BrightEye(op):
Sure, the term 'love-shyness' is less popular in country like Nigeria. This is unexpectedly an extreme phenomenon people simply know as 'shy guy', 'can't toast' or 'can't approach a girl'. I call it severe because of a very painful emotional stress the sufferers pass through. People (that are not inffected/affected) often toy with this stuff, claiming those dudes should just be bold, confident and do like men, then they are good to go. But honestly, these gentle guys need more than these, they evidently even need morethan a theraphy.

Love-shyness is first used as word by a social psycologist, Dr Brian G Gilmartins, in his book: shyness and love, consequencess and treatment (1987). However, Gilmartins' book is out of print today, resulting to some modern researchers on love-shyness like the authors of 'love-bold', the only book that claims to effectively cure love-shyness, as well as love-shy.com, website for love-shys to interact.

Love-shyness is affecting 60 million guys worldwide. Silently suffering!

Well, that's good. But it is studied that these love-shys main barier in making a successful relationship is their failure to approach a girl no matter what feelings they have toward them. Also, those women seem to them not to care at all, as a girl would not approach a love-shy either, no matter how extremely she loves him.

Hence, a love-shy would be very happy and possibly overcome his anxiety a bit, if the girl he loves just walks to him and say, "hi, i love those gentle smiles of yours. I'd like to go out with you". In short, if she declares to him her feelings.

Lolz. I can see you are serious to meet one.
Only mutual feelings between you and a love-shy could let you identify one. They are hard to identify, as they pretend they are like average men when you are around them for couple of minutes.
They are severely introverted ones. They love art and music(mostly soft rock type). And as you said, most of them are beautiful in hearth, with a smilling face, always. They are very nice nd don't cause truble in society.

They are also 'male lesbians'.

What do u mean by 'male lesbians?' Am a cool, handsome and introverted person to an extent. And I agree to some of what u said about introverts 'cos I love RnB music but a 'male lesbian', sounds ridiculous.

I was a bit shy when I was in my late teens and early 20's. I'm the cool headed type and also introverted. So a girl in my neighborhood at that time noticed I never talked much and she approached he. Yes, she kinda asked me out.
Wanna know my response/reaction? wink

She was a cheap slut so I'll leave you to guess. wink
