What advice do you have for

someone who is extremely shy, loves to flirt and is hopelessly romantic?

No one will ever realize you love them mate =)

And, I believe you should try and find someone in the same or similar situation as you, if they are to reciprocate your love. Age is also a factor. You have to consider your direction in life - this is a much broader question given your circumstances.

I'm in the same boat as you and NuovoVesuvio
is right. And if they do 'love' you they'll never live up to your expectations because they won't notice the little things you do or do the little things you want them too.

How can you be shy and love to flirt? What a combination? HAHAHA

Life is short...do what ever makes you smile. Care less about what the world is going to say about you.

In my opinion,please don't even try to change
Guys like you are really rare and keep this good qualifications with you....these ain't no bad things

How in the heck can you be 'extremely shy' yet love to flirt? Doesn't that require confidence?
