Love-shyness


 

The term love-shyness is sometimes used to designate a specific type of severe chronic shyness. Love-shy people find it difficult to be assertive in informal situations involving potential romantic or sexual partners. For example, a love-shy heterosexual male will have trouble initiating conversations with women. The word love-shyness was probably coined by the psychologist Brian G. Gilmartin, who researched this phenomenon in heterosexual males.
