"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I don't know why, but I just often find it hard to smile even when naturally I should be

this is especially problematic when making eye contact

I will make it and hold it but am unable to smile

so let me ask some questions

you're not supposed to walk around with a smile, but when you make eye contact with a female and smile.. to what extent are we talking? full out with teeth or just subtle little grin? and any advice?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

My natural facial expression is a somewhat serious tone. When I'm at a party or clubbing, I'm having fun, so I have a 'more fun' look on my face. Not a smile, but not anything creepy either.

I sometimes have the problem of eye contact w/ no smile. You just have to force it out. Make that one extra effort, and it will be much easier each time.

If you go from 'serious tone' to a big ol' smile w/ teeth, you'll definitely look like a creep. Just do a suble smile like what was suggested.
