How to talk to a girl you like for the first time
I know what it feels like to talk to a girl you like for the first time, it can be terrifying. You don’t know what to say and how to start the conversation when you’re meeting her the first time. But don’t worry, it’s not that hard.
Here are the 3 advice to talk to a girl you like for the first time:
1. Break that ice
We all know that awkward moment where none of us can start the conversation. And, the longer you wait to start a conversation, the more likely you won’t do it. You don’t have to say something deep and important. Just say ‘hi’, ‘hello’ or bring any topic to start talking to her.
2. Talk about a common interest
It doesn’t matter how different you are or what background you come from, there will always be that one thing that you both have in common. So, find out what you have in common with her and talk about it.
3. Maintain the flow
Now, to be successful in this step, you need to be very good at the first step, i.e. listen. Often, girls find guys irritating because they don’t know what they’re talking about. For instance, if she tells you that she likes to travel, you don’t say “I’m a huge fan of Michael Jordan.” That’s not relevant at all. So, listen carefully to what she’s talking about and reply to her with an appropriate statement.

How to talk to a girl you like if you are shy
Being shy in front of a girl that you like is nothing to be embarrassed about, guys. It’s totally fine and natural to be shy when talking to a girl you like, most of us are.
So, here are the 3 tricks for shy guys to talk to a girl you like:
1. Practice with strangers
If you’re too shy to talk to a girl you like, you can’t just directly go and talk to her. For that, you need to do some practice. So, whenever you find any stranger in a store, bus, or park, try to engage in a small conversation with them. This will help you overcome your shyness and increase your confidence.
2. Address your shyness
Most of the guys don’t know this but girls find it attractive when a guy admits his weakness. The goal here is not to hide your shyness but to show it to her. You can say something like “I’m sorry, I’m nervous when I meet new people.” Or even add a hidden compliment by saying, “I’m always nervous when I’m around a pretty girl.”
3. Be yourself
When guys feel shy around a girl they like, they tend to act or pretend to be someone they’re not. Although you’re shy, don’t think of it as your weakness, instead, try to embrace it and be yourself. Remember that you’ve got nothing to prove to her, just show her your normal self.
