Shy vs. not interested, decoded.
Warm in person, quiet over text
Could be shy

Low effort everywhere, never initiates
Probably not interested
Disinterest looks like consistent low effort with no initiation. Shyness has nerves; disinterest has nothing.

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.
