Getting nervous easily around new people, especially those of your sexual preference. And although many people will claim blushing is a part of shyness too, this is not always the case. Many guys find this attractive in girls, although shy guys have a reputation for being ridiculed by girls.
That person is shy, and usually backs away from meeting new people.
Ethan: So Max, are you going to ask Kelsey to the dance?
Max: Nah, I'm too shy.
Ethan: Come on, man, girls don't like shy guys, just be outgoing instead and it'll be easy!
Max: ... It's much easier to talk the talk than to walk the walk.

Girl 1: Did you see that guy. He was totally looking at you and blushing.
Girl 2: Oh, he's shy? How cute.

Someone who acts introverted likely in most social settings. A person who is timid or sheepish around others and keeps to themselves.

A social trait that, while a turn-on to guys(shy girls are cute), is arguably the single biggest turn-OFF to girls.
So big a turn-off to women of this day and age is shyness that, if you get shy while talking to them, they'll soon be ridiculing you mercilessly for it with their friends.

A word attributed to few Americans, those of which who are considered weird, odd, or different, and are often ridiculed for it, etc. (if you're a guy), or those of which who are considered funny, hot, cute, smart, beautiful, etc. (if you're a girl), or very rarely, vice versa. Most people, mainly girls make fun of shy guys and praise shy girls, which, IMO, is the stupidest fucking shit I've ever seen.
It's said that shyness is the single biggest turn-off for girls. If you're unfortunate enough to be a guy who happens to be shy, well... I can't help but feel sorry for ya. It's funny how judgmental and mean some people can be, and how fucking pathetic it is that you're automatically labeled as shy even if you aren't really shy at all. For all we know, that guy could just be tired or busy, or maybe he just doesn't give a shit, or maybe it's just that guy refuses to speak with any of the obnoxious assholes who can't keep their mouths shut for five fucking seconds, or, just maybe, that guy wants to be different from all the other fucking low-life, loud-mouthed, obnoxious bastards who just can't keep their fucking dicks in their pants and whose single fucking goal in life is to fuck every single girl they see.
To put it rather simply, if you don't talk much, don't have many friends, walk alone everywhere, study a lot, don't get outside of the house that often, are made fun of a lot, are "different" from most guys, are smart, etc., you're shy.

Girl 1: "Look at that guy right there. He doesn't say much. He just sits there and reads."
Girl 2: "Oh, him? He's just shy."
Girl 1: "Well, I think he's weird."
Girl 2: "Actually, he's very friendly once you get to know him. He's smart and funny, and very helpful, too. You should go talk to him."
Girl 1: "Huh, maybe I will."
*I am NOT gonna talk to him.*
