Get the shaning mug.A beautiful man with a big heart. Shy and subtle at first yet his eyes tell you what his mind is thinking and his soul is feeling. Once he opens up he's very loving and caring and kind. He will only share his troubles and emotions with someone he feels safe with and truly can trust. He keeps to himself. He's always honest and will never let you down. You are very lucky to find a Shane as he makes the best friend, lover and soulmate. If you do, hold him close to you because a Shane is rare like finding a diamond in the rough.
