So there's this girl on campus, I like her... her best friend tells me she likes me too... but doesn't know much about my personality... I mean I'm a pretty shy guy, I don't really know how to show some personality, I mean around girls my personality is just reserved... any tips on how to kind of break that ice and cure me of my shyness?

You have a shy personality, she's slowing seeing that you're a pretty shy person. You're already half-way there! On the real, you just gotta be able to open up. Can't really give you tips if your being introverted means you can't act on them. Just let them get to know you. You've got almost nothing to lose considering you said she likes you too.

Make small-talk. You'll eventually become comfortable with her, and the rest will happen naturally.

Dont look nervous, just smile when you are with her and just act the way you act around your friends.

well... I mean, drinking does help out... but I don't want it to be sloppy... I want her to know that like I genuinely feel for her, you know?

because... in real life I am shy... it's so easy to show off your chest on the internet- I mean what can people do? nothing just compliment or hate... but she saw my chest in the pool already, she told her best friend I had a nice body, and her best friend told me lol

Confidence comes from being sure of oneself. Anyone who is confused about life and their direction/purpose in it will surely be clumsy with introductions and thereafter...

If you really want to break your shyness I recommend you to work in aplace where you have to talk or greet the customers...like a server..trust me, it boosted my confidence, 1st day of college I heard some girls giggling and talking about how confident I was.

Certain drugs make you open up and become real talkative. Might I suggest that.

Just go out of your way to say hi to her, thats it. But make sure she notices that your going out of your way. Then she'll start thinkin bout you, then start getting into serious convos. Always ask crap like, how was your day. Heres advice onthat. All men tune that crap out. The secret is to listen for like 15 seconds, and nod your head the rest. Then after there done, ask a question from those 15 seconds you listened too.

If you know that she likes you then it should be easy, its only hard when you have to ask blindly.

1. Grow a pair of gonads.

2. Be assertive.

3. Wear your best shirt.

Good luck :)

I gotta be honest, one thing Ive noticed about all the guys that get the ladies' attention is that theyre sorta goofballs.

I dont mean like "hyuk hyuk" goofballs Revenge of the Nerds style, but you know...they just make corny jokes, smile, and are nice.

As for your general shyness, I suggest a job with some sort of customer interaction. I was pretty shy my whole life, and I still am, but talking to strangers for hours on end at work makes it a lot easier to, at the least, initiate. I often find myself starting conversations with people I just met without even trying now.

TC I think you just need your friend to fix you up and break the ice. Just have your friend set up a group lunch date which includes your friend, the girl you are talking about and, obviously, yourself. Have your mutual friend introduce you to the girl and just start asking harmless questions, such as what classes she is taking, is she working, what does she likes to do, etc etc. By you keep asking her questions, you won't have to say much and allow you to side step your shyness. Then at the end of the lunch just get her digit and call her up to set something to meet again.

If your friend is right about her liking you, you have few reasons to worry

well her best friend told you she likes you so just go up to her and start talking with her one day. are you guys in the same class? talk about that. if not, go up to her and ask her what classes she's taking or something like that.

that's the problem... I hang out with her all the time, but I just don't know what to talk about... her best friend says that she really likes me... but it's like I want to get more comfortable before I ask her out and all that... but at the rate I'm going, we'll be unofficial forever you know... I know she likes me, and she knows I like her... and that's as far as I've gotten... shyness is truly a curse

Like I said, yopu can break the curse by working in place where you interact with customers all the time. You better start doing something before she starts viewing you as a friend or before she likes somebody else and she wont be available anymore.
