Is someone shy and embarrassed in that context also likely to be similar when making new friends, negotiating in a business context, etc? The people I know who have been reserved at first, have generally been more reserved in all situations.

That might be more attractive to other shy people, I'd guess.

I'm immensely shy but relatively good at pretending I'm not. I can't imagine finding that characteristic attractive? I suppose some people want a wallflower?

Do other shy people look for a partner who is shy?
