Man I cannot talk to girls I like. I get so awkward around them, and I am stiff and freeze up. I am that way around everyone- they try to talk to me but I just can't charm them. No girls/women are Ever going to like me- if they can't accept this part of me and most won't.

try connecting with them through the internet like MSN or Yahoo Messenger. Once you get to know them better through the internet, meeting them face to face would be much easier.

At least they try to talk to you. I can't even get to that step

I'm female, so what do I know? But perhaps you could pretend you're talking to a male, just so you're less nervous. Might help.

That's actually what I do, but that also means that I can only talk to women from the perspective of friends, not of romance...

You have to find a common interest or an activity...then, it makes talking alot easier. That's why people join clubs and other
types of organizations.

I have the same problem. I can't talk to people I like either. I don't act like myself; I act really stupid, and it ends up being worse than if I had not talked to them. How do other women act so charming to men and women they like? All my relationships have been with guys I only liked platonically until they expressed interest in me.
