FAQ
More about shy vs. not interested.
How do I tell if he's shy or not interested?
Shyness still shows effort — nervous but consistent replies, slow but steady opening up. Disinterest is low effort with no initiation. DearHim reads the pattern to tell you which.
Should I make the first move if he's shy?
If you see consistent (if awkward) effort, a confident, low-pressure move can give a shy guy the opening he needs. I'll help you word it.
How long do I give a shy guy?
Give him some room, but watch for movement. Genuine shyness warms over time; disinterest stays flat.
Is this really free?
Yes — reading it takes about 5 seconds with no signup. You only make an account if you want me to track the pattern over time.
