Hugh problem with men

Post Reply New Topic

if being with someone is what you desire, i think the best way is to try to make it happen.

you are shy around guys. the reasons behind it really arent important in the grand scheme of things. what i mean by this is, if you find the right guy (theres many 'mr rights' living near you), he wont push you into anything and he wont make you uncomfortable at all. he'll make you feel like you can be yourself and it doesnt matter if you are a little quirky, or rough around the edges.

the best thing you can possibly do is try. this means whenever you leave the house, try to dress yourself up a little bit. wear adequate makeup (but dont overdo it!). ask a professional for help if you need help with this. usually theres makeup counters at malls scattered about where they can help you with this kind of thing (if its even an issue at all XD).

when you see a guy (EVEN IF YOU ARENT INTERESTED IN HIM), try to talk to him. the more you talk to guys the less scary it will be to do so.

who knows, maybe the first few times at the end of the conversation he'll think you're bonkers, but thats not the point. eventually, with time and practice, you'll get better and better at it. sooner or later you'll be a natural, able to talk to guys without a lot of fear / shyness / and that awkward feeling.

learn how to flirt! search up google (GOOGLE KNOWS ALL!) for tips on flirting.

the most simple tutorial i can give you on flirting is as follows:
1.) eye contact. try to hold a gaze at the guy you like with a few seconds (3 seconds), then look away. if you look back a few times and see hes looking at you, look into his eyes for another 3 seconds every time. if this keeps up, it means he might be interested in you too (and hopefully he'll have the testicular fortitude to talk to you, but you might have to talk to him XD).

2.) SMILE! this is probably the most important thing of them all. try to keep your teeth clean and as white as possible, and SMILE a TON. obviously dont overdo it with this, but smile a LOT.

3.) laugh at any and all of his lame jokes he makes.

4.) listen attentively, and ask questions / be engaging about what he talks about. example: "bahh my football team lost to the beavers this year, those guys are terrible!" then you ask "why are they so bad?" etc. etc.

the main thing is be open. if you are always closed off to the possibility of being with someone because you are super shy and super worried, potential 'mr rights' will fly right past you without you even knowing they found you attractive / interesting.

ONE THING THOUGH. you have to BE CAREFUL about guys. i know your mom was telling you this and its the cause of a lot of your anxiety, but its very true. some guys are only out for sex, and will do anything to make that happen, even if its dealing with your awkwardness. i might consider waiting for ~3 weeks (or more) before i had sex if i was you, just to make sure they were genuinely interested in you, and not just trying to get in your pants. not all guys are like this, but many are, so be cautious, but optimistic.

hope this helps
