How to Know If a Shy Woman Is Interested in a Man?

A shy woman uses body language to send signals if she is interested in a man.

Women who are shy may be more difficult to read in a dating situation since their advances may be less obvious than their more outgoing female dating counterparts. Understanding female body language is critical in deciphering a shy woman's level of interest in a man. A man who is interested in a shy woman should familiarize himself with the subtle clues she may leave to show her interest.

Instructions

1. She gives frequent glances. A woman who is shy may glance at a man she finds attractive, but will turn away if he notices her and may avoid making eye contact completely. For those who do make eye contact, it will not be an engaging stare, but rather a brief glance. (See Reference 1)

2. She becomes fidgety. If she has made eye contact, a shy woman will become fidgety with her hands immediately after the eye contact if she is interested in a man. She may run her fingers through her hair, adjust her jewelry or bite her nails. (See References 1 and 2)

3. Her face becomes flushed. A shy woman may become red in the face when spoken to by a man in whom she is interested. (See Reference 1)

4. Notice her hands. Shy women may show the palms of their hands or their wrists if they are interested in a man. It is a subconscious display of submission and a sign of welcoming an advance by a man, according to BecomeAPlayer.com. (See Reference 2)

5. Look at her overall body language. If a shy woman is interested in a man, her shoulders will face him squarely and she may lean in toward him slightly while he is talking. This is one of the most obvious signs of attraction, according to BecomeAPlayer.com. (See Reference 2)

6. Observe her friends. If a shy woman is with her friends, they may look back and forth between her and the man she is interested in, smiling as they talk to each other, according to SelfGrowth.com. (See Reference 1)
