Get a t-shirt with a dot matrix display, program it to read "I really fancy you" and activate it at the appropriate times?

Don't beat yourself up over it - most guys are the same.

You need to know it's not something that will just happen without you putting some effort in and practising though.

A lot of women are the same too. Fortunately we can hide behind social tradition and wait for blokes to talk to us!

I'm naturally shy but have made myself of the years not to be. Every now & then though it comes back for no reason & I'm standing in a room of people feeling tongue tied & awkward.

Sounds a tad cliched but I usually have a few rehearsed topics I can fallback on if need be, so for example now, I'd be able to chat about the Olympics

I am the same.

Don't beat yourself up.

Being the way you are, I promise you this;

You've dodged a few bullets, a few bad eggs.

It will happen, don't rush it!

Happy hunting!

I've been amazed finding out so many men are shy.

It's a handicap but it can be overcome

This is not what is referred to as "a problem".

Having said that, Kinky Minx: can you provide me some high quality photos of you both in and out of a t-shirt so I can verify for the forum which state you're in?

I'm shy too but if I had been at the party, and seen you alone, I would have chatted to you.

I was stood up at a Club by a couple and a single guy recently. I sat at the bar alone for an hr. So I know how it feels. There were mainly couples at the club who didn't seem to want to talk, so I left.

Take small steps only. The biggest step for some is not to kick themselves when they are down.

Chat with anyone, whatever the gender, age, looks etc when you get a chance. Habits are addictive, so it's worth repeating many times, outside of parties. Think of practical steps for future party support, included wingmen or telling a host you're not hugely confident and would appreciate intros etc.

But just take small steps and don't pressurise yourself.

Some good advice here dude......but being so shy that you've hidden your profile may not help?

If you are shy, even those small steps seem like giant leaps...

Could be that what you say is true , or could be that the op missed the opportunity to have some fun !

Simple fact is he no doubt went home , on his own , and wished he had been braver .

Fortune favours the brave op ....

Use this as a reason to pluck up the courage to man up and be more outgoing next time .

As the saying goes , it's better to regret the things you have done , than to regret not doing the things you wanted to do .

I'm shy and I struggle to go up to people. I've learnt over the years to try and catch someone's eye and smile at them is best usually then this starts a conversation. Really hard in clubs sometimes I've sat alone before now while everyone else mingles around it is a horrible feeling.

This is what I do. When I'm nervous I do tend to babble on to cover it up, then eventually I relax and just chat normally.

Loads of us are very shy. Can't wait until we finally completely lose the social norm about guys taking the initiative.

Did you make involuntary eye contact with any of the women? Act if you do...you usually get one chance before the window closes.

a quandary, could you change my mind?


" catch someone's eye and smile at them is best usually then this starts a conversation. "

Very shy here in large social type situations, I believe as the quoted above is the easiest way to get started

I would never just walk up to an unknown lady and start chatting, if you catch their eye and smile and you get a smile back the ice is broken.

Good luck OP
