I've read about body language, but it's like my brain is too fast to even notice it.

Anyway I just might steer clear of this guy, because I don't want to ruin my friendship and I think this guy has lied to me about being shy.

I hear you on that and can relate. What I like about the book is that it give lists of items to use as indicators when dealing with people socially (bosses, friends, dates, etc). It still is difficult, but personally I think every bit helps.

Sounds like a good solution.
