how to start talking with girls?

OK, i’m a guy , i’m 21 and i have a awful anxiety condition that bothers me a lot and is stagnating my life…

I’m on therapy for a while andits helping a lot,
And i need to do a “homework” for my therapy, I need to think and get ideas on how i would be able to start and keep talking to girls, when i go out with my frieds on bars and nightclubs and dances , and any other place i would go to actually find a girlfriend…

I’m serious, you don’t realise how important are this experiences until you’re to old and need to push a lot to get started.

So boys, tell me how i do it, and girls tell me how boys should start talking with you!

Is it social anxiety?

we dont like it when we have to make the first move, we pefer when guys do it. Remember to look clean and smell nice, no one wants to be around a stinky person. First make friends with the girl, slowly process towards dating. Dont go to fast, if it turns out you dont like the girl anymore dont dump her cruely; this will go on your social record, countine to be friends. Flirt but dont be pathedic, treat her like a friend. some of the things you could tell the girl to approach her is just greet first, once you are sure you have her attention start a conversation. Let her talk, dont draw so much attention to yourself or else you might find yourself blabbering away and she loses her intrest in you. Good luck

OK! Just wanted to say,

*Internet hi-five*

Same here, buddy. Sorry I seemed to be so prying…this is just the first time I’ve found someone else who seems to be in a similar situation as me. :-)

It makes me feel a little less alone, ya know?

Well, I’m not quite sure that my level of anxiety is severe enough for it to be too helpful, but I’ll certainly check it out.

And no, I haven’t seen “How I Met Your Mother.” ;-)

First of all, DO NOT start off by saying some corny line that most dumb guys use to come on to a female. ALL of them are lame and they turn females off. Just start off with casual conversation, I have anxiety myself and that’s what I do because it makes you comfortable and you’re just being yourself. Also this way you will be able to notice if the girl likes you or not. You didn’t come on to her so you won’t feel stupid and embarassed if she doesn’t and if she does then you know to say something about hanging out or things that you like to do. Hope this helps ya and by the way I am a female!!!

no pick up lines! We don’t like it when a guy doesn’t seem genuine. Just be yourself, and be honest. And do have the courage to make the first move, because girls don’t like doing that. Don’t stop if you get turned down at first, everyone gets rejected at some time, it’s a part of life.

until about three days ago, i’d be completely with u on this one, saying i know how u feel and that it does seem impossible and all of that.
However, i was at Rock Challenge on friday, its a big dance/drama performance thing worldwide, with plenty of oppurtunities to talk to new people, even though i usually dont, because of the problem you have.
Thing is, a few friends and I were just walking through the canteen, and a group of girls said hi to us. Thinking it was no big deal i just said hi back and carried on walking. later on, i end up talking to them again, and they’re all really great people and i’m so glad I decided to try talking to them, because it couldn’t have turned out better.
So what i’m saying is, don’t worry about just saying hiya to a girl, she’ll most probably appreciate it, unless she is seriously ignorant, stuck up, over confident, or to the other extreme, That scared of unexpected socialising. Thankfully most girls arn’t like this.
So just give it a try, it’s not like asking for their hand in marriage, it’s an easy thing to get over if it doesnt go that well.
I wish you all the luck in the world.

OK bars pubs are the worst places to talk to women. The best thing you can do is say hi to people on the street, grocery store, coffee shops.
women at bars are expecting that you are trying to hit on them so their defense is up. Not at the grocery store.

Confidence is The most important thing you need too you can’t fake it you have to grab your junk every morning and say that i am the baddest muther###### i know. I am confident. fill in the blank.

you have to be a MAN

Girls are not naturally the ones who start the talking, most women do expect that men talk to her first , its natural and girls do find that confortable.

that said, i’m chubby too (slightly overveighten) , it undermines my confidence, but i really don’t want to change it only so i become more attractive, i want to do it because its healthy and good for me, i just would like to met somebody who looks for more then aparences, i’m not it the look out for a model to show off either, i want to be able to find somebody who i can really connect. I don’t think it would be wrong to change to get more attractive, its perfectly normal, i just wouldn’t feel good about it.

the thing is, we see many people with weight problems which have normal lives, in my case my weight is an excuse to my behaviours and not the root of it., isn’t it your case too?
