It depends. Different shy guys do different things. However, when I was a shy guy, I couldn't talk to the girl I liked, so I ignored her, but looked at her at every chance I got.
So, it depends. However, most shy guys would do something along those lines. However, a message to all the shy guys out there: don't ignore her.
Even if you think you have little to no chance, you should build up those chances. If you ignore her, you will never know what might of happened, and when she is gone, you will never be able to find out. Don't rush things and scare her off, but don't ignore her.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
