oh no, not that stereotype again...
That is just not true!

Two girls I was studying with would have taken it to the next level with him immediately. (I don't know how many of the girls I did not talk to, but they were clearly fond of him as well) One of them even eagerly ran after him for quite a while. If I hadn't had a relationship at that time, I'd have tried too.

The point is, that guy was too scared to let anyone come too close. Maybe he simply had no interest, but I guess if he had been interested he would have been too afraid to show it anyway. I have some male friends who are shy, when they tell me they're interested in a girl, sometimes even I would not have noticed...

if that computer scientist could work up the nerve to actually tell a girl how he feels, he would no longer be shy, and therefore no longer be cute.
I don't believe that either. When such a guy tells you how he feels, that's an incredible compliment and shows that he's really serious about that. Not like those guys who tell every second girl how much they're into them. He would still be shy. You can show someone how you feel without saying it. You can also tell someone how you feel in a shy manner, with a lot of blushing and staring at your feet. That's cute


edit: hey, yossarian:

if (shyness > letting_come_close(someone) && wish_for_closeness == true)
{return -1; }
else
{return 0; }



shyness is not a bool, it's an unsigned int
