this is a good sign. if you want to understand how women react to the world, think about how AFCs react to the world. When I was AFC, the girl I wanted most asked me "Do you want a girlfriend?" and I said "No." and looked at the ground! That was 5 years ago, now I would have kinoed her and given a playful answer. Younger and shy women act like total AFCs, you have to initiate every step, but they will let you progress, because they want it like a fvcking wolf wants raw meat. Women's reaction pattern, unless they are mature, have game, and experience with men, is EXACTLY like an male AFCs, in my experience. When I approach a shy girl, I think, she has the same AFC complex that I had all my life till now. Take the lead and liberate her from her fears!
