Sadly, being shy isn’t conducive to drumming up any interest for yourself. I really wanted a partner to share my life with, but one wasn’t going to fall out of the sky and magically talk to me.
I’m still an introvert at heart, and big groups of people zap my energy, but now, I’m comfortable in that situation and I have no problems with being the centre of attention.
Dating Tips
Make your presence known
If a woman doesn’t know you, how will she know that you’re interested in her? So, make your presence known. Introduce yourself to her, talk to her about interesting things. This can be the key to having a good date. So, basically, make sure she’s aware that you exist.
State your Intention
To be clear there’s nothing wrong with being friends with women, but if you have a romantic interest in this woman it’s only fair and honest to communicate this to her very early on. Okay, so I don’t mean go all out and say.
Stating intention can be verbally, or non-verbally, or a mixture of both. It’s all about giving her the right signals that you would like something more from her when you’ve decided that she’s a good match for you. Don’t hide it. Be a straight talker and one that portrays their intentions directly.
Be spontaneous
Don’t plan to take your date for a coffee or to a restaurant, instead, take her horse riding, sky diving, mountain climbing — be vigilant, make sure it’s something that she would enjoy before springing it out on her. Our first date was watching speedboat racing. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as did she. Getting her someplace where she would love to go, and being different from the general
Above all, be respectful
Be a respectful dude. If you’re shy like I was then you probably didn’t have many offers growing up. You’re getting to know each other a little bit better. Just be mindful and above all, respectful.
