Is she sending out the signals? Or not sending out the signals? Maybe she is just shy. Perhaps you're curious about how to know if a shy woman is interested in a man.

It can be hard to "read" anybody, even talkative, outgoing people. But shy people can be doubly difficult. Because of their quiet, less communicative manner, it can be hard sometimes to understand what's going through their minds.

It isn't easy for the shy person either. She may have more trouble talking to people, making eye contact, and communicating the positive parts of her personality.

Often shy people are simply ignored, if not looked down on. Shy people often have trouble meeting people, making friends, and going on dates.

On the other hand, because the shy person is often excluded from social functions or simply ignored, when someone does pay attention to her, the shy woman can be more appreciative and receptive than an outgoing person, who may already get all the attention and appreciation she needs.

How to know if a shy woman is interested in a man? The best way is to show interest in her. This can start off small. First, of course, remember her name. Be sure to make pleasant conversation every time your paths cross. If you find she seeks you out for conversation as well, it is certainly an indication that she enjoys your company.

Your next step might be to proceed to invite her to small, non-threatening events such as lunch. If you are both headed in the same direction, you might walk with her. Listen to her conversation carefully for cues as to big events in her life. Sending a greeting card to commemorate those events can be a most appreciated touch.

If you already realize that the woman is not unfriendly but is simply shy, you have gained an important edge in understanding her. This is part of how to know if a shy woman is interested in a man, and also the first step towards friendship.
