1. 5 things a shy girl hopes her boyfriend does on a date
For a shy girl, it is a daunting task to open up or strike up a great conversation with her boyfriend, especially during a date. Unlike extroverts, an introvert isn’t a big talker or she might perhaps, lack the social skills to impress someone with her words. Since words are not her favourite tool of communication, how do would you know what your shy girlfriend would want you to do during a date? Fear not, here’s a little help to understand her better and have an interesting time during the date.
2. Make her feel at ease
A shy person, especially a girl, never wants to draw undue attention to herself. So, the first thing she would expect her boyfriend to do during a date is to make her feel at ease. And you can start by not asking her why she is so quiet! Instead, you could let her enjoy a moment of silence and appreciate that she is a thinker rather than a big talker, right?
3. Do not take her silence as her acceptance
Since most shy people tend to be quiet, others often misunderstand their silence as acceptance. This does not mean you should avoid taking her opinion while ordering food, selecting a wine or choosing a venue. She would appreciate it a lot if you give her choices and she would definitely play an active role in making a wise decision mutually.
4. Don’t try to be overprotective
Don’t mistake her demure nature as a sign of weakness. As a boyfriend, we can quite understand your willingness to step up your game and behave like an alpha male to protect your shy girl. But remember, not all demure damsels are in distress. She might be a slow talker and might avoid attention but these qualities do not make her a weak person. If you try to act like an overprotective boyfriend, it might be a big turn off for her.
5. Pick up the thread of conversation when it falls flat
If your girl isn’t a big talker, she would want you to lead the conversation. And when it falls flat, it would be a great idea for you to pick up the threads of the conversation and keep it rolling. Also, most shy people do not like attracting attention. So, it would be great if you could stay away from animated conversations or refrain from talking loudly.
6. Don’t engage in public display of affection
Like we mentioned earlier, shy people do not like being the center of attention. Which means, you should not engage in activities that might attract people’s attention. If your girlfriend is not a big fan of public display of affection, you should respect her wish and refrain from touching or kissing her in public.
