Yeah. Last time, it was from a girl who, judging by the way she and her friend were glancing at me, could be interested in me. After we talked a little (to be honest, they asked questions and I answered in as few words as possible), she told me I am "somewhat weird", thanks to some of my more childish interests. After some more conversation, she said girls won't like me if I am too shy. I actually found her bluntness very enlightening, although I've become more dettached than usual since then (it happened last Easter).
And, as we all know, all girls like exactly the same things.
There are girls that find being shy a turn-on. Here's the thing: If you fake not being shy and attract a woman for that, she's not attracted to you, she's attracted to who you're pretending to be. Either the relationship will fall apart, or you'll be stuck in a miserable one for the rest of your life.
Either way, pretending to be something other than yourself never works.
