fizanali_ Here's the thing. Guys think beautiful women are unattainable and they won't approach her. What guys don't think about is that every guy thinks she's too pretty to approach. Which leads to pretty women who might be lonely. Sooo, you see a pretty woman, or any woman you like. You give her a sideways glance with a slight smile and look away. Wait a few seconds and turn your head towards her once again. If she meets your look with a slight smile or inclination of her head, she's interested. (If she smiles politely but looks down and away from you, she's not interested.) Trust me, if a woman wants to get to know you, she will find a topic that you are comfortable talking about. Next thing you know, you're talking to her! Got it?

Well, i used to be shy, but only to some girls. It seems that you tend to be shy with the girls you may actually like, but if you watch closely, you are perfectly fine with the girls that you have no interest for. The thing to take into account here, is that both types are GIRLS, so you should approach them with the same easiness. And like a fellow female mylot-er once said "They don't bite, unless you want them to"

Its natural to by shy and hesitant but its the only way to show and be yourself. Why not try to voice out what you wanted. You'll see that its not that hard. They may even understand you. Some may not be able to understand but its a given fact. Not all person in this world is easy to please and you can't please everyone.

This is not weird. It is very common. Humor is a good way to break the ice. If you have watched her at all you know how to proceed. Don't be goofey. Maybe a funny statement about a pick up line or if you two have something incommon make a statement about that. People usually like to feel others are interested in them. Ask her questions about herself or compliment her. Be sincere or don't bother. After awhile it will become easier. Do you have a sister or friend? They might be able to help you with ideas on subjects to talk about. And, realize that she is probably about as nervous as you are.

You have to face your fear, I know it is not fear in reality , but it is kind of, try to talk you girls as you talk to your friends(boys) and don't make difference at the beginning, later on you will know how to communicate will with girls, you have to understand their mentality in future to be able to talk to them frequently.

the way to over come this shyness is to talk to girls you already know sisters, cousins, if they are not available then go into the market and talk to the clerks, ask considerate questions, Listen carefully to the answer and then thank them for the information, soon you will be going into places where there are a lot of girls and you can pick out one and talk to her with a lot less stress. all it takes is an interest in them and listen do not ever pretend you are interested. be genuine and sincerer and you will be talking with the best of them

i'm a girl. I also felt shy when i was a child. but, now, i was changed. at that time, i was not confident to talk with boys. however, i find that it is too easy. only you have a little confident, you could find that girls are friendly.

You're sound aloof to girls.Why? maybe because you don't know how can you approach them. Are you grew up without a sister or girl in your family. Or maybe your bit shy to meagle with girls. I am a girl fizanali, my advice to you is just be your self, talk to them like an ordinary people. Don't be hesitate because girls are understanding and fun to be with.

Just try to relax and be yourself. I always liked boys who were shy, in fact I married one 30 years ago. Some girls actually prefer the quiet type, so don't go fixing something that ain't necessarily broke.

the important thing is what you are thinking when talking with a girl or more.you can see yourself as an old man,maybe 80 years old.then with patience,listen to her .
