I haven’t hosted a blog tour spot in a very long time, so I thought I’d go back to my roots with Shy Girls Can’t Date Billionaires by Milly Rose! Thanks to Xpresso Book Tours for setting up this guest post written by the author, Milly Rose.
Share your dating experiences as a shy girl. What advice would you give shy girls for feeling insecure about meeting new people and dating? Also, what is some good advice for people to be more understanding when dating a shy girl?
Note: if you’re not a shy girl, then share a close friend or family member’s “shy girl” dating experiences.”
My Experience Dating as a Shy Girl
Dating is hard. Not only do you worry about your own insecurities, but there’s a completely new person in your life to also figure out. It’s a lot of pressure! I found dating easier when set up by friends. I was way too shy to go on a date without back up. It was like learning to swim. I needed time in the kiddy pool with adult supervision. Or, in this case, my friends sitting at the other end of the table.
My Tips For Shy Girls Too Afraid to Date
Eventually, the more dates I went on, the more comfortable I became. It became more natural when I found a partner who was like-minded and shared the same interest. It’s so much easier to chat to someone when you like the same stuff and speak at the same volume. You never know what it will be like until you try. Sometimes you might hold onto a perfect image of your soulmate. But, I’m telling you, that person might be wrapped up in a completely different package!
“Could the first brave thing I do be the best thing to ever happen to me?” – Christie Klein, Shy Girls Can’t Date Billionaires by Milly Rose
Advice for Those Dating A Shy Girl
For anyone dating a shy girl, I please ask that you be kind. We are a fragile breed. Don’t push her to speak before she’s ready. I know I can get defensive if pushed out of my comfort zone. In these moments, I can blurt out something I don’t mean. If you give her time, she will open up to you. Let her be raw and vulnerable in her own time, and you’ll have a great girl by your side.
An example excerpt from Shy Girls Can’t Date Billionaires by Milly Rose:
“I hope I wasn’t too blunt with you before,” Ash says as we make our way outside. He waves to people who call out to him and returns his focus to me. “I didn’t mean to make you feel bad. I’m sorry if anything I said offended you.”
“Ash, it’s okay. We are still figuring each other out.”
“I just don’t want to say anything hurtful to you,” Ash says, cupping my hand as we walk through the moonlit garden. “I know I have in the past. I don’t want to repeat it.”
Thank you, Milly Rose and Xpresso Book Tours for the hosting opportunity on my blog!

I never existed until the wrong guy took notice…
I was born shy. And near him, I fall apart. No wonder he can’t stand the sight of me.
After a fire destroys our home, my family is taken in by a billionaire tycoon. His mansion has countless bedrooms, yet my room is next door to his son, Thomas Ashworth III. Yes, he’s as pompous as the name suggests. And, for some reason, he hates my guts.
Even though his arrogance drives me crazy, his chiseled features turn me into a stammering, awkward mess. I hate being stuck with someone I can’t stand. And when he does something unexpectedly kind, it confuses my heart.
When I bump into him in the middle of the night, I’d never guess it lead to us sharing secrets.
He’s impossible to get out of my head. But he wouldn’t consider dating someone like me. Would he?
You will love Christie and Ash. They are stuck together in forced proximity, becoming practically roommates. He is a billionaire, alpha male type who is learning to love. She is the new girl in school, dealing with past trauma. Together they will go from enemies to lovers in an adorable young adult romance.
