When it comes to love confessions, there are two types of people, the ones who are very overt in their approach and let you know straight up that they want to be with you and the ones who give subtle hints here and there and leave it to you to figure out what’s on their mind.

The ones who are expressive have their work done for themselves but the flip side for the shy people is that, not all of us are very good at picking up those cues and often miss out on the opportunity to be with a very nice person because we failed to understand the fact that they were in fact interested in us.

So, here’s for you a list of hints that you may look out for, to ascertain whether a shy person that you think is interested in you is infact interested in you or not.

10. They are silent when you are around

If they are talking among their friends but go silent when you walk by, then chances are they are into you. They will pretend that they were not a part of the ongoing conversation and be at a loss for words. They might even go as far as to saying something irrelevant or silly. Don’t be surprised if you say hello and they do not answer you either, it does not mean they are being rude; this is a common thing when it comes to shy people.

9. They will smile with you often

When they are not falling head over heels they are  just smiling hopelessly at you. They might be busy in their dreamworld making scenarios about the two of you and smiling like a fool all the time. Don’t panic if you catch them staring at you with a broad smile on their face, chances are they are not even aware of that smile sticking there. They might even stop smiling and nervously look away when they catch you looking at them.

 8. They act silly around you

When a shy person likes you, he might try to cover it up and not let you know of his true feelings and in the process he might act really goofy around you. Don’t be surprised if you see him tripping over his own feet, it means he’s got you on his mind and find it hard to concentrate.

7. They stutter when they speak to you directly

Just start a conversation with a shy person and there are pretty good chances that you’ll know instantly if they are into you or not. If a person can’t seem to get his speech together when it comes to even the basic conversations with you, this means that he is totally into you. If he is stuttering or seem to be talking gibberish that means he has it for you really bad.

6. They become self conscious when you are around

If you see them touching up their hair, scratching their face, twirling their fingers or getting fidgety whenever you are around, it would indicate that they have become very self conscious in your presence. This is a definite sign of a shy person being interested in you.

5. They blush when you talk to them

Shy people are very sensitive and self-conscious. Chances are that they have been thinking or even obsessing about you in their mind and when you talk to them their natural shyness causes them to blush. You can see a pink flush on their cheeks if you flirt with them or get close to them or even if you just have a casual conversation with them.

4. They are very sensitive to your touch

If you happen to touch them playfully or even casually, they might respond as if they got an electric shock. You will see their faces go all pink, they might just suddenly move away or get overly self conscious. It just shows how much your touch means to them.

3. They avoid direct eye contact

It’s true that shy people stare at you if they like you but that will happen when you are not looking at them. They stop gazing as soon as you look towards them and are very quick in avoiding eye contact.They might give a polite smile if you catch them looking at you but they’ll not look in your direction for a long long time after that.

2. They offer to help you with your work

This might be one way they will try to approach you. They will offer to help you with your work or offer to drop you home. this is a big step for shy people and you should take it as a definitive sign that they like you and are in love with you. Most shy guys will do just about anything you ask them to in order to have some interaction with you.

1. They change how they look

The final giveaway is when they start changing their appearance according to your choice so as to impress you. If all of a sudden they look a little different especially when they are coming around you it might mean they are making an extra effort to look their best for you. If you have noticed maybe you can acknowledge them and make them know that their efforts are not lost.
