Andy2104: Why can I sing on a stage with hundreds of people watching me and yet when it comes to talking one to one with a woman I completely lock up?
I have recently met a woman who made 1st initial contact, but she probably thinks I'm not interested because of my shyness.
Please help if you can!!!
She probably think´s your a moron....

Are you?

If you had the slightest confidence,you wouldn´t be asking these dumb questions....

Ahd as for stage,yes,I´ve spent some time myself up there,but that won´t change a thing.....Nobody cares....

Go to your favorite college football team's next Saturday afternoon football game and streak from one end zone to the other. That should do it.

You have to make a good impression on her or she's history. Try being sincere and don't try to be something your'e not. Have a few topics of conversation ready that can't go wrong like music and art and the movies and books.

I used to be really shy when I was younger and for me it had to do with my confidence. I was bullied when I was younger and it took some time to build up my confidence again. If I didn´t think that I had anything special to offer then why would anyone else? Today I have no problem approaching a woman in a store or at a club. I don´t take a rejection personally as there may be 100 different reasons why she doesn´t want to take a coffe with me. It´s all about beliving in yourself and realising that you got nothing to loose. The worst thing that can happen is that she doesn´t want to hang with you and if you don´t ask or take initiative shes allready not doing that. If you dare to face rejections you will soon see that most of the times you will not be rejected and that will build your confidence.
