I see most guys on here say whenever they want to go up and talk to a girl, they get scared and nervous and don’t bother. That’s because you just want to walk up to her and somehow get her number instantly. Also, if you look for an excuse, 10/10 you’re going to find that excuse. What works for me is a question that’s so random, it catches them off guard. For example I was at the gym and I seen this really attractive girl, caramel, great body and great facial features. She would always look at me through her side eye but not as much. I noticed this and started to get real nervous because as shy men, we hate when attention is on us. I thought about how I can go about getting her number and had no idea how I’d do it. She ended up coming over to my section to work on her abs and I went over to her and asked “hey, do you like ice cream?” she looked at me with a confused look and laughed and said “yes, very much.” We started talking about our favorite flavors and telling stories and that made my nervousness go away completely. I ended up asking for number and she had a boyfriend. I just told her no worries and to have a great workout. I was a little bummed but after I left I had this sense of relief because I realized it’s life. At least you have closure and you can move on, but random questions like that sometimes always work! Girls are human who want to interact with people just like you. Put yourself in the uncomfortable situations or you’ll never get comfortable when forcefully put in them.
