Shy Girl Seeking Advice

vampireninjabunny
When it comes to relationships, it takes a long time before I open up to another person, possibly an entire year. I've never had talent for charming people with words and such, so what advice would you suggest to a shy girl seeking to open up to other people?

I havnt either i suck at it to be honest i try to act all outgoing buts it hard for me here and also i am shy alot but what you would do for that is slowly inch your way out of your comfort zone dont do it to fast and also be assured that you really like the person before you take the step

You just need to find the right person to open to. Try to find someone with the same likes and start from there music, anime, and movies anything you ask can start building on to something.

Sapphire is right you should do that if a person likes a certain thing you like mention it to them open up to them a little bit it might help you out and also try what i like to call putting yourself out of your comfort zone sometimes it helps

The best advice I can give you is just to get out and try and spend time with the person you're interested in. Assuming the guy isn't completely naive of when it comes to having someone showing they're interested in them, he should pick up onto it pretty quickly. If he reciprocates, then it'll be a lot easier for both of you to open up more to one another. One thing I've come to learn when it comes to dating and relationships, people actions tend to dictate their feelings for another person a lot more than their words.

Okay I do have advice for you since is worked for me rather well. I was one of those shy guys but it doesn't matter your gender this will work. When I start talking on here to someone I look threw their about me or their status message. So I start by saying hi and follow up with a clever question about something they said that caught my eye. from their just expand the conversations asking questions about the person. It shows you are interested and you make them feel important and wanted. Compliments do that also but questions cause people to think before they answer making them more engage and open to listen you. The better the questions the more curious they will become of you. Don't worry so much about you not opening up. After the conversations develops believe me you will do that just fine. The awkward and unexpected moments will just be fun experiences so don't be afraid to encounter them. Same goes for real life. However, in real life you have to watch what the person is wearing or has on them at the time. You pick something interesting about their appearance and compliment them on that. Then ask questions about their day or you know small talk. The more you do it the easier it gets. Never go out of your way to start the conversation make it seem like it was done at random or that your are bored and trying to seek distractions with the other person. Takes practice have fun.

The cautious approach is not always a bad thing... talk to someone give them a chance if you like them then thats good if not tell them why maybe its something they aren't aware of. Good luck VampireNinjaBunny
