"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.

Hey, I need help on something ….

There is this girl I know and I'm interested in, but she is very shy!
She is extremely shy, quiet, don’t talk much and don’t let others know how she is feeling.
She is also very depended on her friends. I tried to talk to her couple of times but she only gave some short answers in return. She not like that just with me, she is with everybody.

How to I handle girls like that?
Any suggestions?

Thx

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Ask her out... she'll be more friendly when you're both alone.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I also think you should get her alone, away from her friends. This way she will stop thinking about how she should act, and will feel better (and will associate that with you!).

Get her into a situation where she feels comfortable for your initial date. If she's got a favorite coffee shop/bar/club/hangout that you can go to, go there. The familiar location should help put her more at ease and more comfortable with herself.

This is a case where I would do some homework and ask one of her friends, casually, if there is any place they all like to hang at, that way you can suggest someplace she likes right off the bat.

Once you get her out, open up to her moreso than you would with a more extroverted broad. She'll be more receptive to your company and more likely to open up if you're being open with her.
