Helping a very shy girl relax

[Hephaestus]

Say you're flirting with a shy girl that likes you. Your conversations are great and you can keep her laughing. No problems with personal space and she doesn't mind you touching her when you're flirting... the only problem is that she seems afraid/too shy to touch you back. Any suggestions on how to get a girl like this to relax a bit more?

Walk along beside her and slide your hand in hers. This is a good icebreaker. If she stops then she's not quite ready yet. Just continue talking as though nothing has happened. That'll make her feel at ease while she thinks about it. Eventually, she will hold your hand. Once she gets used to it you can move on. Please be patient with her and take your your time.

 

Good luck

What Tigris said is perfect. It really does work. A guy did that to me and stopped me being really shy all the time!

I agree with Tigris also, that's great advice!
