7 Ways to Meet Women If You're Shy

When you’re shy, a lot of things seem more difficult for you than it is for others. Being shy complicates many situations, and meeting women is one of them. There are seven things that you can do to help overcome your shyness, or to remain shy but do things a little differently.

1. No Excuses!

Don’t make excuses a habit! There is probably more than one reason you are shy, but you don’t have to let that take over your life. If you’re shy, it may be difficult to pry you out of your shell, but the right women will make you comfortable and at ease.

2. Focus on the Woman

When you divert attention, you can make things about her, and take the spotlight off of yourself. This is not the way to get out of a conversation or interaction, but it’s the perfect way to collect your thoughts and think of topics for the next part of the conversation.

3. Introduce Yourself

Even though you’re shy, you can talk about yourself a little. Don’t focus on your shortcomings. Instead of focusing on the things that you are not good at doing, focus on the things that make you great. Talk about things that interest you and see if you have anything in common with your lady friend.

4. Be Confident

There is nothing sexier than a man who is confident. When you are confident, your shyness will fade away, and you will focus on other things. Good posture and body language is a great way to show a woman that you are confident. To send the right signals, stand up tall and straight and make sure you keep your hands at your side. Don’t forget to smile!

5. Be Polite

Instead of trying to remember 50 to 100 of the best pick-up lines, be polite. You will be surprised at how being polite and using your manners will attract a woman to you. Using pick-up lines may attract the wrong type of woman for your preference. When you’re polite, women will respond in a positive manner, and that’s a great way to begin a meaningful conversation.

6. Show Interest

Showing an interest in the woman you like or would like to get to know better is one of the best places to start. Most men don’t want to find themselves stuck in the “friend zone," so in order to avoid from falling into this category, discuss things that interest both of you. You don’t have to be Captain Obvious, but you do want to state the facts and make it known that both of you have a lot in common.

7. Use Social Media

You’re never too old to make great use of social media. If you have a woman that you have set your sights on, see if you can find her on a social media site, such as Facebook or Twitter. If you can find her, say hello! Start a conversation, get to know her better, and see where things lead.
