How do I take this relationship to the next level?

[(:]

So I'm a wrestling manager at my high school (my brother is a wrestler), and I met this cute guy who joined this year from football. He's really, REALLY shy but I definitely am intrigued / attracted to him. Apparently our parents used to be best friends when they first got married.

I noticed him at first because he seemed to stare at me a lot in practice. Like, A LOT and very noticeably. I followed him on twitter and he followed back. Then, at the wrestling tournament on Saturday, I got a chance to talk to him for like 10, 15 mins. It was mostly me asking questions tbh and him smiling a lot and mumbling responses. For the rest of the day, he kept miraculously ending up in the same vicinity as me, and we stood next to each other and cheered when my brother was wrestling.

Today he had his wrestle off and he lost. As a person who really knows the sport of wrestling (been around since i was 5), I took some notes during it and went up to him after and told him some things that i noticed. he was very quiet and all he said was thanks, and i was VERY nervous and kept stumbling over my words.

Then at the end a bunch of us were sitting in the trainer's office and i noticed him staring yet again

Do you think he likes me? Am I coming on too strong? Also, what should i do now???? Tips for dealing with shy guys?

He is not shy. He does not know what to think of you. You might remind him of a wrestling coach. You have established yourself as an authority critic. He may not approach you. Let him make the next move.

Hi there!
I'm no expert in dealing with shy guys but I think I have some suggestions.

Ok, maybe first you wanna start of being friends with this guy. Get to know him better. Get yourselves comfortable with one another. And then take things from there and see where it goes. You can maybe accompany him to practice or training, have study date or something, hang out at local cafe maybe?

I think shy guys lack the confidence to initiate actions or communications, so maybe you can be the bold one and initiate conversations. Pick a common topic like in this case wrestling. You can ask him when he started to wrestle and stuff.

I hope this is helpful. good luck buddy!

Get his number and text him like crazy, and stare back at him lol. Even shy guys can get a hint, it will probably take him time to ask you out though so be patient. It sounds like he likes you so all you have to do is put in some work and you'll have him
