Best way to meet/befriend/date super shy otaku girls?

Well I am shy but going to meet my gf soon as a X-Mas gift for her going to a con but for the most part I try my best not to be shy and don't over think things as much.

Damn I'm extremely shy the point i don't talk to ppl else in anime convention i don't know what said or do get to talk me online i feel like i can talk to anyone

Don't think about being shy and they are just like you, a human not a rare species. If their presence are frightening, think of them as vegetable or anime characters.

This is how you do it you approach shy girl , lured shy girl to van with candy, kidnapped and blindfold then you take her to your friends basement and comence rap

Personally, I show my fandom on my sleeve, literally. However I'm very introverted and shy, so I wear shirts, jackets, bags, jewellery, ect. To show my love of anime. I also love to wear tails and ears so I'm very spotable in a crowed, but come up to me, if I'm not too shy, I will open up about my views of my fav fandoms.

I was almost exactly like Tomoko in middle school, and honestly, I couldn't fully trust people to take me seriously, and I would also freeze up and became really awkward and fiddly, and my voice would go down to volume 1, just like her. I remember once, the popular guy of the school had asked me out, and I turned him down because... I didn't know him at all. He asked me on a date right after I had been INJURED, and EVERYONE WAS STARING. He had horrible timing. I felt bad shaking my head, but what else could I do? Anyway, the only way I was able to even talk to anyone was if they prompted me to talk, like asked me a question, AND they had to give me enough time to respond... That is one thing that often ruined things for me, if someone interrupted while I was about to answer, saying something like, "OMG YOU'RE SO SHY!" and announcing it to everyone in the room. @_@ I just would want to disappear. My advice is to just go up to someone you think is shy, and ask a question to start a conversation. Talk about hobbies and such. Give her plenty of time to gather her thoughts and courage, so she can respond properly. Don't interrupt her, and don't talk so loudly that everyone will turn to look at her, that will make her self-conscious and hard for her to think. PS: What I have that made me act like Tomoko, and probably Tomoko must have, is a mental illness... so you should also educate yourself about that. In particular, I have anxiety(makes me extremely sensitive) and mild clinical depression(makes me extremely unmotivated). It is not normal shyness since I will speak my mind and make pervy jokes if given the chance, and mostly the "shyness" is contributed by social awkwardness.
