yeah, if you need advice for how to deal with shy guys, this is probably where you will find a good amount of us.

If the guys are at all like me, they might be afraid that they are starting to like you, and you don't like them. I have a female friend who commonly gives me hugs and other sorts of physical attention, but I really don't think she is at all interested in me. I think she is just affectonate. I may be wrong though.

and this may be the problem with your guys. Have you ever actually told them "I love you" or "I really like you"?
