How do you talk to girls or people you don't really know?

take note of something you find interesting on them. something like their jacket or watch. just say, "hey, i like your ___. what's the story behind it?" people will go on and on about it. just make sure you're genuine or they'll see right through your BS. people love it when other people show interest in them.

 

Girls usuallly like foriegn accents. As for your confidence, just remember that you have very little to lose when you start talking to a girl. Either she's cool and you'll get along well or she's not and would you really want to continue wasting your time on a b****?

 

exude confidence without being cocky. make eye contact. show interest in what others are saying. be an active listener.

you had no grammar errors, no worries. be confident!

 

I was very shy in high school. I'm not really shy at all now. Shyness seems to come from a lack of confidence or fear of embarrassment. When I got older, I realized that I didn't care what anyone else thought about me. This allowed me to talk to people easier. The more you talk to new people the more confident you get.

So my advice is to just do it. It will get easier with experience. I wasted a lot of life experience when I was younger by not getting out and trying new things due to my shyness. So I would try to get over it as fast as you can.

 

excellent point.

 

This.

Like he said, girls usually dig on the accents. Don't try and hide it.

 

It's hard to give someone advise about being confident on a message board, because ultimately it comes to just saying, "try and be more confident."

From the adult perspective, its less about confidence and more about just being yourself. As you get older, you become more comfortable with yourself, and also realize that life is short, and you just have to be yourself and try and have a good time.

If that means saying hi to strangers, great. If that means being a player with the ladies, great. If that means being more introverted, but still friendly, that's fine, too. But do you, don't do what you think will make you liked or cool. Do what you think will make you happy.

More practically, how about just trying to initiate a few conversations over the next few weeks and see how it goes?

 

In fact, you should embellish it. And, embrace your Canadian culture. Wear a beret. Or, grow a mullet and knock out a few of your teeth with hammer.

 

Find a couple of the hood rat, less popular girls that you don't really care what they think about you and start practicing your skills on them. Try out various conversations techniques and topics and see what kind of responses you get and then go from there.

 

They don't speak english in canada?


Anyways, girls love a guy with confidence but not too much confidence where your acting like the jersey shore kids. Don't be nervous either because that'll make you say things weirdly. Just be cool and remember taking a chance and failing is better then not taking any chance.

 

hang out with your friends who have girlfriends. you can practice having conversations with girls without the pressure of it going somewhere.

also, girls love to play matchmaker. they're likely to have a friend they think you'll be good with once they get to know you.

 

Like a mac.

No but seriously, that shy stuff doesn't work I used to somewhat be like that in middle school but quickly learned to grow out of it thru HS, women tend to hate people with low self confidence.

Pick your head up and walk like you got a 10 foot di**!

My advise.

 

I think you should start training any army of rats. Then, when the time is right, they will all have to listen to you.

 

just think...everyone's crap stinks and has to whipe their ass. Don't be intimidated.

Say what comes to your mind when you see them. If you notice their earring, initiate with a simple compliment...if you notice her shoes, do the same.

Or if you get mental block, just a simple "how's your day going?" It doesnt have to be anything revolutionary. Starting some chit chat is the easy part...keeping it going is another.

Dont be creepy, give them their space.

Be interested.

Try to stay away from questions that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no".

 

Dear OP, please know that DonkeyMagic's ideas represent just one small minority of opinions on this board. Creepy can be effective, as per my post above about a rat army.

 

Just let it all hang out
