text: I can relate to shy...I am shy...however her behavior seems a bit odd and is this something you would be willing to deal with throughout a relationship with her (assuming she's for real)? I'd back off and let her take things at her pace at this point. Leave the door open for her if you like, but don't pass up other opportunities that you feel may have potential. If she's REALLY interested in you, she'll suck up her shyness and join you in taking the steps to meet and explore a 'live' relationship.
