I wasn't sure how to feel at first. I'm very independent and someone trying to dominate me is a huge turn off. At the same time I think this really hit the nail on the head, "Women don’t like Nice Guys because Nice Guys do not clearly and openly express what they want, need, or how they feel." Maybe shy could be used interchangeably? People want to know you and what you stand for. A little mystery is okay but it shouldn't be a challenge to get to know someone.
