If a guy doesn't make a move, is it safe to assume he's not interested and I'm overthinking?
For me it’s a test of a woman’s self-confidence and attitude about the relationship between the sexes.Similarly to Groucho Marx’s statement about not wanting to join any club that would accept him as a member, I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with a woman who feels that it’s a man’s “role” to make the first move.I find that attitude to be a childish game at best and a reinforcement of gender stereotypes at worst, and I prefer a woman who’s an egalitarian adult.But to answer your question, given that most people tend to adhere to gender roles to some degree, it’s more likely that he’s not overly interested but it can be situational. That is, if it’s someone in your circle of friends and / or acquaintances that already knows you fairly well, you should have gotten some indication of a level of interest, even if it’s slight. If he’s not shy with others but is with you, however, that could be a sign that he’s not willing to take the risk either because of fear of rejection or of the loss of the other aspects of your relationship. Fear of rejection by a total stranger can be easier to deal with, since he’s the only one who’ll know he “struck out” but in a group of interconnected people the risk is compounded by the possibility that a rejection will make the rounds and define him as a “loser.”If it’s someone you interact with in a more casual manner, such as being a cute and friendly barista at your favourite coffee joint that you exchange pleasantries with, maybe he doesn’t know you well enough to make assumptions about your level of interest in him to make that first move. Relationships are full of stories about people who suddenly see their partners in a new and better light when they get to know them, so maybe you’re expecting too much from too little familiarity.Finally, you just might be the victim of this new age of male awareness of female perspectives. Sure, there are still some Neanderthals cruising around, but many men have learned to respect women enough to not come on too strong, to respect their boundaries, to realise that women are more experienced and knowledgeable about the varied ways men approach them and are sometimes leery and defensive about advances from men. In some cases, there can be such a thing as too much respect.
HOW DO I OVER-COME THAT LAST MINUTE HESITATION WHEN GOING UP TO A GIRL TO ASK HER OUT??
it's kinda like other things that are scary because you don't know for sure you're capable of succeeding. Kinda like jumping off a really high diving board. You need to mentally 'throw' yourself into it so you can't pull back. If you've already started stepping toward the edge of the board or you've already bumped into the girl or asked her some random question, you can't really just say "Okay bye now!". If you're in high school where everyone does the 'clique' thing, you can muster up some confidence if you know you're in the same one as her which likely means you're the type she likes. It's best to informally ask a question that you're pretty sure she won't know the answer to. That way she'll be like "Hmm I SHOULD know that but I've actually got no idea" and you'll be all like "Yeah it's as if they make it that complicated on purpose". You'll feel better once you've exchanged a few lines like that, then just say something like "I'm sorry where are my manners? I'm *****, nice to meet ya =)"

What signs do (shy) women give to show interest in a guy?
To tell if a woman likes you, you will always have to look at her actions, not her words!Luckily, although she will never straight up tell you how she feels, a woman will give you subtle signs that she likes you or not. If she’s attracted to you, she will give you indicators of interest.Indicators of interest are behaviours from a woman which show that she’s in to you. When a woman is attracted to you she will respond by showing some of these indicators, consciously or unconsciously.If you want to learn how to seduce a woman, it’s key that you learn how to read these signals.Be careful!! Just because she is showing ONE of these signs does not mean she’s interested! But, learn to take notice of the signs she’s giving you and use your natural intuïtion to adjust to the situation! Always make sure you’re getting multiple clear signs!Here they are:Touching of hair / adjusting and modifying her hairAdjusting her blouse / Letting her dress fall off her shoulders, showing additional skin / Taking off layers of clothesShe starts re-applying her lipstick to look betterTouching herself: for example sliding her hand along her neck or collarboneConstant licking of her lipsProlonged eye contact, accompanied with a smile / smiling with er eyesFrom a distance: briefly breaking eye contact and then locking in againHer body language is open and directed at youPhysical proximity / She’s always leaning into youWhile talking to her, she sticks around instead of making excuses.She accepts you touching her or even touches you back.She lets you come closerShe agrees when you ask her to go somewhere and she goes along with you.She lets you be alone with her. She would stay nearby the protection of her friends if she’ wasn’t interestedShe agrees when you ask her to danceShe comes back to your place. She knows things might escalate in that situation.

Is this capricorn guy loosing interest?
"Plain and simple. I don't like revealing much...it seems like I'm too open, and from past experiences with talking and dating girls...in general I just keep hush about things until I feel me and the girl are really going somewhere and I'm interested in her enough to share. Some girls I'm not interested in, some girls I am, but don't want to reveal too much b/c I don't want to say something or reveal something about myself that may make her not like me anymore. This on top it takes me a while to feel comfortable being my true self around others, on top of me being a quiet person who is hard to get to know. I lot of layers and add on that, that I'm not the most emotionally expressive person AND when I do express emotions their controlled...and you have a person like me.....you don't know what the heck is going on.lol You don't know who you dealing with.lol It's not to be mean or secretive intentionally, but I usually just keep to myself. I'm not sure if all caps think this way, but I'm a cap." EXACTLY. I am a Capricorn woman and MrRyan, Cindy & Scorpiogirly have described exactly how I am when it comes to being in a relationship and in general. As for your questions... When a Cap does not like you, they will tell you up front with no hesitation. Just ask "do you like me?" and the Cap will say "no." It's that simple with a Capricorn. On the other hand, if he DOES like you, he will probably answer that question with something sarcastic or not be straight up --e.g. "what do you think?" "why do you ask?" "who knows." He won't give a yes or no answer. Therefore, asking him "So, do you like me?" casually will reveal a lot about how he truly feels about you.
If a woman says yes when you ask her out, does she like you?
It really depends. How did she accept your invitation? Did she hesitate when she accepted? If so, she may just be trying to be nice. If she accepted without a hint of hesitation, then chances are, she is really attracted to you. Instead of guessing you will want to find out asap about her intentions. Here's what you will do to find out. Don't go to the movies. You can't get a sense of who she is by starring at the screen. Take her somewhere where you can sit close to her and have a conversation. How about a nice coffee spot? You will sit close enough to her where she can touch you. If she touches you, she is interested. NEVER initiate the contact, if she wants to touch, let her do it. Keep the conversation positive. You want her to talk 90% of the time. You'll do so by asking her questions. When she answers, ask her more questions based on her answer. If she asks you personal questions, this is always a sign that she likes you - she wants to find out more about you. Give her vague answers, and respond with a question of your own on the same topic. Remember, she will talk 90% of the time. If she starts talking about any future activities with you, this is always a good sign that she likes you. For example, "My friend is having a party next week, I'm so excited, are you going to be there? We could hang out". Think back to how she responded to your invitation. If you're still not sure, you will be sure by the end of the date. Just stay out of the movies, you can take her to see a flick some time later - if she deserves it. Good luck.
