The body language you exhibit is the one thing that factors tremendously, whether you are dealing with a shy or outgoing guy.

A shy guy is usually looking for lots of positive body language cues from a girl so as to develop the courage to talk to her and ask her out.

And even this isn’t guaranteed.

Nonetheless, any chance at getting a shy or introverted guy to ask you out requires that you make him feel as comfortable as possible with the idea of approaching and talking to you.

The one thing that would keep a guy from asking you out is when your body language is completely wrong, as in negative and uninviting.

This is where you are constantly with a scowl on your face, preoccupied with your phone, never making eye contact, rushing and hurrying everywhere, always accompanied by a friend or several, crossing your hands over your chest, back facing with your body, and physically distancing yourself.

Your body language is such a massive thing when it comes to getting a guy to ask you out.

It’s something that both outgoing and shy guys look at.

But whereas the outgoing or extroverted guy has the courage to look at negative, uninviting body language and still choose to take a chance on talking to you and asking you out, a shy or introverted guy is far less courageous.

This is why your body language has to be open and inviting.

This is where you are making eye contact and smiling, walking at a leisurely pace or standing still, front-facing with your body, keeping your hands apart, showing an awareness of the environment around you, unaccompanied by friends, and staying in close physical proximity.

When you practice these key body language cues, you increase the likelihood that a shy or introverted guy builds up the courage to talk to you and ask you out.

Of course, all of these positive body language cues also skyrocket the chances that an outgoing or extroverted guy talks to you and asks you out.

Keep in mind that you should maintain this positive body language throughout the conversation as well, as it allows for a much more comfortable interaction.

This goes for whether you are talking to an outgoing guy or a shy guy.

All of this being said, the conversation you have with him should have several moments where you are responding to what he is doing.

Guys feed off of your energy.

Since he is the one who would be initiating and keeping the conversation going, he is burdened with the task of keeping you interested.

In order for him to stay encouraged to keep talking to you until a moment he is ready to ask you out, you have to be responding positively to what he does during the conversation.

If he tells a joke, respond to it by laughing.

He flirts or teases; acknowledge it by flirting or teasing him back.

He compliments something about you; compliment him back.

This is how you demonstrate that you are enjoying his company and connecting with what he is doing.

Once he has established this connection, he is sure to ask you out on a date.
