hm, my man was shy during the time he courted me. he'd say ily quiety and if i wasn't paying attention i won't hear it at all. but he'd ask me out, sms me everyday... the usual stuff but it was like he's keeping a part of him at bay. BUT eventually we bacame a couple and he's not so shy now. he's actually sweet and funny and...[you'd get bored coz' i could go on and on ] now, not only is he my boyf but one of my besties as well. YAY!
