10 Tips on Dating a Shy Pisces Man

How does a Pisces man test you? He won’t push or openly manipulate you. A shy Pisces man will simply wait and watch. He’ll want to see how you react.

In particular, a shy Pisces man is watchful to see if how you treat vulnerable people. This is because he sees himself as vulnerable and in need of protection.

He will assume that you will eventually treat him the way you treat others. Any disrespect or harsh attitude you have toward other people will deter a shy Pisces man from opening up.

1. Show You Care

“Why is my Pisces man shy around me?” You may ask yourself this question if you’ve noticed your Pisces man seems to tiptoe around you rather than open up and have a direct conversation.

When a Pisces man acts like he’s walking on eggshells when he’s around you, it is because he is even more shy when he likes someone. He may become as bashful as a child with his first crush, no matter how old he is. He will constantly seek reassurance.

A Pisces man who sees that you care and take an interest in him will start to feel more comfortable. He’ll still take a long time to open up. You’ve got to be patient with him. You can’t just do a few nice things and expect him to relax.

A shy Pisces man is so much more inhibited than even a typical Pisces man. This says a lot. He needs to see that you aren’t just telling him what he wants to hear, but that you are walking your talk as well.

2. Let Him Get Comfortable

“My Pisces man always stares at me, but he doesn’t make the first move!” You may feel exasperated if this thought has come to your mind. A Pisces man will indeed watch you from afar or admire you up close.

It will seem awkward, especially since he stares but doesn’t actually initiate conversation. A shy Pisces man will freeze up and become completely shut down. He may stare at you over several encounters before finally saying a word.

When he feels comfortable, a Pisces man will begin to open up. You’ll need to initiate contact more often than not. Instead of pursuing you, he will remain in the background and will wait for you to set the footwork for the relationship.

A shy Pisces man needs to feel comfortable with you. Take an interest in him and show him that you are affectionate, empathetic, sensitive and inspiring. A Pisces man who sees that you are catering to his desires and needs will start to become more comfortable with you.

3. Keep His Secrets

When a shy Pisces man does start to finally open up to you, be sure to let him know that you will always keep his secrets. Confidentiality is important to a shy Pisces man. He is slow to trust because he’s afraid of being betrayed.

When a Pisces man has a crush on you, he will linger in your presence even if he doesn’t initiate contact. He’s waiting to see how you react and he’s observing your personality. It’s important to keep his secrets but also to show him that you keep others’ secrets.

If you gossip or tell him other people’s business, he will never trust you. He’ll assume you are just as likely to gossip about him as well. Pisces men perceive everything, so any negativity will give him reason to question whether he can trust you.

4. Respect His Emotions

Leaving a Pisces man alone is sometimes helpful as he needs a lot of time for inner reflection and to process his deeper emotions. If you’re dating a shy Pisces man, always respect his emotions.

This is not always easy. He may have emotional reactions that seem completely irrational or overblown. You may start to wonder if he is just attracted to drama. Yet Pisces men are highly empathetic.

He has strong emotional reactions to everything that goes on. Just because it seems like he is overreacting doesn’t mean his feelings aren’t real. Always validate a Pisces man’s feelings.

A relationship with a shy Pisces man will never take off if he feels like you aren’t acknowledging his emotions. Keeping tabs on a Pisces man’s emotions is no easy task. It can be exhausting because he has such labile emotions.

5. Admire His Sensitivity

When you see the signs a Pisces man is in love with you, try to encourage his feelings. You can do this by admiring his strengths. One of his biggest assets is his sensitive nature.

Even though this is one of his greatest strengths, it is also one of the aspects of his personality that he constantly gets criticized for. He’s used to friends, family, colleagues and bosses all telling him he’s too sensitive.

People always try to get a Pisces man to toughen up and not be so emotional. Yet if you admire and encourage his sensitive nature, you can actually help a Pisces man feel your compassion and love. He’ll become more connected to you.

6. Empower Him

While it is important to not try to change a Pisces man, it is important to try to empower him. What does a Pisces man want in a woman? He wants someone who empathizes with him but also helps him stay grounded.

A Pisces man will feel empowered when you make the effort to seek out his opinion. He’s a people-pleaser, so a Pisces man will often defer to you and hide his own feelings. Don’t take this at face value.

Instead, take the initiative to put the ball back in his court. Let your shy Pisces man know that you are genuinely interested in his ideas and opinions. Don’t put pressure on him, just encourage him to speak for himself.

7. Be Subtle

The signs a Pisces man is falling in love may not be obvious. Just as a Pisces man is subtle, so too should you take a gentle approach to dating a Pisces man. Don’t act too intense when you’re dating a shy Pisces man.

He is easily intimidated and overwhelmed. Dating a shy Pisces man requires you to slow your pace and gently encourage him to open up his heart. He needs to see that you aren’t going to become too dominating.

When you’re dealing with a shy Pisces man, it is important to be subtle. If you put too much pressure on a Pisces man, he’ll assume you’re trying to invade his privacy and take over his decisions.

8. Don’t Be Too Bossy

When a Pisces man stares in your eyes, there could be so many things he is thinking. Usually, a Pisces man stares out of admiration. He is attracted to beauty and romance.

He may also stare because he is at an impasse. He may feel a strong attraction to you but hesitate to take the next steps. The best approach to take is to strike a balance between not being too passive and not being too bossy.

A shy Pisces man will shut down instantly if he feels you’re acting in a dominating way. He’s used to people trying to control him. Part of this is necessity. He’s so indecisive that he needs others to direct his attention.

He usually appreciates a partner who will guide him and ground him to some extent. But if he feels you’re becoming too controlling or overbearing, a Pisces man will be turned off.

9. Help Him Stay Grounded

If you’re dating a shy Pisces man, you may have to be the anchor in the relationship. He is great at coming up with new and creative ideas, but for all his resourcefulness, a Pisces man falls short when it comes to putting plans into action.

When you help a shy Pisces man to remain grounded, you can help him channel his intense emotions in a more productive way. Pisces men need help remaining connected to reality at times.

They can be such big dreamers that they often lose track of what is actually realistic. Sometimes, a Pisces man will have idealistic dreams which can be manifested, but will need help to bring his dreams to fruition.

10. Be the Responsible One

As much as a Pisces man is watching you, it will also be in your best interest to watch him carefully. When you’re dating a shy Pisces man, it can feel like you’re living in a romantic fairy tale world.

But the reality of life with a Pisces man is quite different. He will try to avoid accountability and responsibility. This can often leave you feeling like you’re doing all the tedious work in the relationship.

Pisces men prefer to be all play and as little work as possible. They are motivated by what makes them feel good. Their hedonistic nature can make it difficult to get a Pisces man to buckle down and take care of chores or pay bills on time.

Be prepared to take on the role of the “responsible one” in the relationship. A Pisces man is too much of a dreamer to be bothered with such mundane issues and will instead provide the emotional nurturing and empathy you need.
