Open up
A shy person may not be the easiest one to open up and tell you their deep, dark secrets or dreams. But it can be a lot easier if you open up about yours and then in return you can expect the same. Maybe they might need a little more probing than others but it doesn’t really matter as long as the two of you can bond.
Make them feel comfortable
Reserved people often take time to open up but take one step at a time. Make them feel comfortable by taking it slow and asking them what they like and then doing that. They will be open to trying things that you like too but once they are in their safe space. So ask them about their likes and dislikes and then take the next step.
Be patient
