Reply:Well to start off, you might want to boost up your confidence a bit. You sound like a very nice guy which I'm sure many girls would like to meet. However you are going to have to make the first move and that includes not looking awkward or feeling nervous. Girls like guys who are confident and laid back. They don't want a nervous guy who doesn't know how to talk to them. Start off by asking them how they are doing. People like it when you give them attention and from there find out what kind of things they like and what they don't like. Don't forget to smile and at the very end of your conversation say, "Hey we should hang out sometime." Remember most importantly is to be yourself.
Reply:OK...first, get HONST. Your looking for a gf, not just a friend. If it's friendship your after, you have that with your male friends.





YOU are in the driver's seat.





And when you approach a woman, no matter what happens, no matter what her reaction, it is up to YOU to take her mentally where you want to go. Let me tell you something, if you go up to a woman in a public place where she is NOT expecting it, you can't expect her to just say "HERE I AM, TAKE ME!".





If it was THAT pathetically easy, EVERY GUY would do it!





Let's face it- it's not typical social convention to do this. To just "go up to a woman". AND THAT IS A GOOD, GOOD THING. Because by NOT following social convention, it shows you have GUTS.





Women LIKE that.





It ALSO is more romantic for a woman to have a man SPONTANEOUSLY approach her than for her to have a formal introduction. It's far more impulsive and thrilling when a man sees a woman and just goes right up to her. So even though a woman may give you at first a slightly defensive reaction, like her eyes widening a bit, RELAX.





DON'T ABANDON SHIP.


STAY ON COURSE.





This is to be expected many times.





STAY COOL.





She is looking to YOU, the MAN, to show her that you are NOT PSYCHO, and ALSO that you are A SEXY, COOL, CONFIDENT MAN who does NOT give up at her natural defensive reaction. One of the things you can do to lessen her fear, is to approach her with a funny TEASE. It's hard to be scared and laughing at the same time. One of my favorite lines to ask a woman who is walking somewhere, "Hey where do you think you're going?" and no matter what she responds, tease her on it.





Remember, it's not the line, you can come up with thousands of your own lines, it's the attitude you convey. TEASING also prevents you from looking like a desperate man trying to kiss up to her. Your BODY LANGUAGE conveys much of your message as well- if you are SMILING the ENTIRE time you are talking to her, she will feel that she already has you hook line and sinker, and so there is nothing left for her to work for - you've ROBBED her of THE JOY of trying to IMPRESS YOU.





After all, she doesn't HAVE to try anymore, since you've indicated with your constant smiling that she ALREADY HAS you. Instead of giving a woman ALL THE POWER in the interaction, I recommend you HOLD ON to some of it yourself, and let a woman EARN the rest.
