i really feel like the time is right for me to get a girlfriend but i have an issue with my confidence that holds me back. i simply dont have the courage to talk to anybody i like the look of but when they speak to me i again do not have the confidence to speak back in a dignified mannor and i become quite defensive.

i just wanted to know if anybody else feels this way and if my actions are going to keep me single for life

i feel exactally the same,

but just hang about places where about of people your age do,

or if your passing a girl you like th elook of,

ask her the time or do you

know what time .... closes.

ya know like a question,

its always hard to gain confidence but sometime it is easier to jump in at the deep end.

though i still havent quite grasped my own concepts.

Everyone has that problem. Just try a lot of girls (the ones that aren't snobs) think it is cute when a guy has trouble talking. It makes us realize that you are nice and that you really are attracted to us. Some girls will be bitches but dont worry about those girls go for the ones that are nice! It will get a little easier with time dont worry!

jay12toes agony aunti understand your problem because have felt the same way, about a week ago i just wanted to tell this girl that she looked nice but i was afraid to, i said to myself "just say it, im sure she wont take the wrong way, just be nice and say it." i was getting so frustrated with myself for not haveing the ability to make a couple of words come out. eventually on the third time that i passed by i finnaly said "you look nice." and i countinued walking. she said thanks with a smile and turned back to her conversation. just like that it was done and i felt a lot better afterwards. just be strong, it might take time but you can do it.

I think you should talk to yourself in the mirror, in other words, practice speaking to yourself and with other people like your parents, for example. Over time you will be able to talk to girls. Don't be creepy. lol. Seriously, you have to loosen up and just be yourself and don't pretend that you're cool because you are already cool.
