What i would do, is try to find a common interest between you and them. Like say, if you like rap music (which i don't but we won't go there cuz a lot of people do) so yeah if you like a sort of music, and so does he...just go up and have a casual conversation with them. If you start off talking about them, or something they like...they'll probably like to talk about themselves. Try to talk to the guy's friends about what they like to do. If he's in to sports, try to ask him what his favorite sport is and their teams...then ask why he likes them and stuff like that. Once you have a casual conversation going, it will probably lead into better thing :wink wink: lol
OneMan answered Thursday August 19 2004, 7:33 pm: Just try and think of something that makes you feel secure. Usually people are shy because they feel they have nothing to add or that they are not up to the level of the people that surround them. The next time you find yourself in that position, try focusing on something that's not so perfect on the person. Find something that makes you feel better about something you have, for instance, " Boy, his nose is alot worse than mine" and that will bring them down to a level that will make you feel a lot more comfortable with yourself, and feel more at ease about sharing yourself. Hope this helps. Id loved to be loved forever :) [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]
