Why you shouldn't be "torpe" (shy type)

namamatay na ang mga rosas sa tabi (the flowers are dying)
di ka pa rin bumibili (you’re still not buying)
nauubos na ang oras sa kahihintay (the time is running out)
pero ni sulat,ni tawag, WALA! (but not even a letter or call, NOTHING!)

ba't mo pa kailangan ng tulay? (why do you need a messenger?)
kahit ulap nagsasabi tayo'y bagay (even the cloud says we fit together)
ba't mo pa kailangang magtanong? (why do you even have to ask?)
kung alam mo na, alam mo na (when you already know, you already know)

No offense to the shy guys ok? I just want you to realize the things you’ve missed, have been missing and will be missing because of your inaction towards the girl of your dream. And unless you do something about it, you’ll forever regret you held your peace.

First, why are you shy when you have the purest intention, if the players bravely pursue despite their insincerity, how much more you?

You can’t live your life in fear of rejection forever. For sure, you’ll lose the girl you like if you don’t let her know “you like”. Let me tell you a short true story:

I’ve a guy friend who likes a mutual friend but wouldn’t let her know. She ended up marrying a guy we (his friends) think doesn’t truly deserve her (our friend is definitely better) but she didn’t know he was interested. To make the story short, our secret lover friend remains single to this day (and he isn’t young anymore) and our mutual girl friend is living a life we think could have been better if they had ended up together. But can anyone blame her?

Do you realize that partly you’re leaving the good women no choice but to settle for the jerks? How can we choose you if you’re not pursuing?

Second, do you know that by being too shy and staying in the dark for such a long time already, you’re also robbing yourself of your own happiness? How do you know you’ll get rejected? And if say, you did get burned, at least you found out. Would you rather, you just wondered all your life? And what if she didn't, can you imagine how happy that could've made you?

Third, it’s okay to be a friend at the beginning but at some point, you have to let the woman know you want to be more than that and make sure that’s clear to her. If you’re shy and you’re a guy then how much more the girl and if she’s a decent one, expect that. So even if she likes you just as you like her, she can’t make a move because she’s waiting for you to lead the dance.

Don’t stop being shy all together (it’s who you are) just be more assertive. Let your sincere heart and pure intent be your motivation, seasoned with prayer.
