How to Talk to Any Guy - Overcome Your Shyness

Are you one of those women who finds that your shyness is getting in the way of talking to guys you find attractive? Do you avoid approaching an attractive guy because you are afraid of saying the wrong thing? It's a common problem, but one that can be addressed by taking advantage of a few words of advice in the following article. If you want to learn how to talk to any guy, keep reading.
Figure out where your shyness comes from
In many cases, shyness comes from insecurity about your physical appearance. The cure for that is to take a good look at yourself in the mirror and figure out how to dress and apply makeup to bring out your best features.
Then, be sure to look your best every time you leave home - even if it's just to run errands. You never know whom you might run into at the grocery store or the post office and, if you know you look your best, it won't matter.
Are you afraid of rejection?
If you've experienced rejection in the past, as most women have, you may have a problem approaching men because you don't want to go through the pain and humiliation of being rejected again. It's not an easy problem to overcome, but it is possible.
Think about the times you've been rejected and accept that it is just part of the dating process - something everyone experiences from time to time. You know you are capable of attracting good men, but you can't expect to attract them all Maintain a positive attitude, and if you run into rejection remind yourself that it's the guy's loss, not yours.
Be yourself
The best way to break that wall of shyness you've erected around yourself is to try to forget that you are talking to an attractive guy and just converse as if you were talking to one of your girlfriends. It is a rare guy who will make the effort to penetrate the shyness "wall," so it's up to you to pretend it doesn't exist.
Smile and be friendly and approachable when you spot a guy you'd like to get to know. Ask him about himself and turn the discussion to topics that interest him. Most guys love to talk about themselves and will respond with enthusiasm to a woman who shows an interest in him.
Follow this advice and you'll soon know how to talk to any guy without hesitation.
