Overcoming Shyness
Shyness won’t disappear on its own; you need to work on it. Here are some tips:
- Find a Group Hobby: Engage in activities that involve group interactions, like dance or yoga classes, theater groups, or volunteering. Choose something that interests you and allows plenty of social interaction with both genders.
- Practice Online Communication: It’s easier to talk to the opposite sex on social media than in person. This helps in developing conversation skills, making compliments, etc. Initially, choose conversation partners you don’t consider potential partners to ease into it. The key goal is to maintain the conversation for a sufficient duration.
- Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Take actions that initially feel awkward but eventually make you enjoy social interactions. For example, ask a stranger for directions or compliment a girl in the elevator. Make it a rule to actively communicate with those around you.
- Keep a Daily Journal: Record your successes each day.
Confidence is Key
When meeting someone, it’s important to show confidence. Non-verbal signals in real life can work in your favor. Remember to maintain open postures, steady eye contact, etc. Confidence makes people around you feel at ease. Confident guys appear safe and easy to talk to, making them attractive to girls. To build confidence, stop criticizing yourself and comparing yourself to others. Remember, you are unique, so love yourself. Change some details of your image to boost your self-esteem and confidence.
Where to Start?
Begin with a simple technique called “collecting rejections.” The idea is to aim for a series of rejections when meeting girls. After about 15 rejections in one evening, you’ll feel more confident and less afraid of rejection. A girl’s interest will be a pleasant bonus.

Tips for Meeting a Girl on the Street:
- Ask for Directions: Most people use this approach as it’s effective. The challenge is to continue the conversation after receiving directions. You can suggest that the girl guides you to your destination, giving you more time to make a good impression and arrange a longer meeting.
- Ask for Help: For example, finding a neighbor’s cat, borrowing a lighter, etc.
- Pretend You Know Her: Approach confidently, smiling, and say, “Oh, hi! What are you doing here?” Even if she doesn’t recognize you, continue confidently: “Are you going that way? Let me walk with you. By the way, have you heard this joke?”
- Offer Assistance: An offer to carry a suitcase or give directions can make a good impression.
- Compliment and Start a Conversation.
