Today, I managed to convince the girl of my dreams to stop being so shy, and put herself out there to get her crush to make a move. It worked. And yet as it turns out, I'm not her crush after all. FML

Maybe you should have taken some of your own advice and let her know you like her ?

Here's the skinny from somebody who has "been there, done that", OP. Stop wasting your time trying to make girls make the move on you because if it works, it works great - However, if you get a really shy girl you'll develop far too much of a connection to her with your time invested than she has developed with you. This is ok if the feeling is mutual but if it's not you'll be completely crushed by somebody that shouldn't mean much to you in the first place. Instead, PUT YOURSELF out there and make the move quickly. . .If she turns you down no harm done to you, AND, the added bonus of you not caring so much because you have no time invested. Now, I'm not saying go out there and ask every girl out on the street out just because the word know isn't as devastating as you think but I am saying you can't go out there putting all your time and effort into girls based off silly assumptions.

OP, you're a self-centered coward. What makes this a selfish act is that you were so self-centered that you assumed you were the one she wanted. Normally in situations like this I'd tell you to swallow your rejection, but you weren't even rejected. You could have just as easily boosted her self-esteem by telling her you like her, and then asking her out. If she trusts you enough to listen to your "put yourself out there" bit, then I'm sure you could have asked her out without her shyness being a problem. Next time, just grow a pair and ask the girl out, because the boat you're in now seems just as bad as direct rejection, only now you can't call yourself a man.

YDI for not having the balls to make a move yourself.

Ahw that's a shame. Us shy girls are hard to read sometimes.
