 Always use a persons name in a conversation, this makes them feel that you are taking notice of them, which people warm to. Ask questions about themselves. Try and have a few questions always on the ready, 'Do you go to school?' 'Do you work?' "What sort of work do you do?" "Do you have brother or sisters?" What ever you can think of that is relevant to whomever you are speaking. Keep a conversation going by asking a question. If you are asked a question, don't just reply with yes or no responses. That can kill a conversation. People generally love to talk about themselves, so to keep conversations going, just put it back on them all the time. Girls love it when guys show interest in them, again just ask questions about themselves and their interests, what music they like. It won't take long before they will want to get a bit closer to you, if you are showing that you are interested in them and a good listener.

You sound like you need to find confidence. Feel comfortable with yourself so others can to! "always be yourself, because the people that matter don't mind, and the people that mind don't matter". More self confidence and belief an you'll be fine!
