How do I stop acting so nervous around girls?

Question

I'm 18 and never had a girlfriend. I don't think I'm a bad looking guy or anything, I just get really nervous around girls and become like a stiff rock.

I get along pretty good with older unattractive girls, it's just the ones I'm attracted to.

I get loads of compliments and lots of girls approaching me, but I never follow up on anything. I'm too scared, nervous, and shy.

I can never keep eye contact if they see me staring at them. If I know they are staring at me, I can't look at them. I'll pretend like I can't see them.

I'm usually always smiling and in a happy mood, but if I see a girl I'm interested in, I can't smile unless they start smiling.

I was home schooled my high school years, so I'm kinda inexperienced and not sure what to do or how to react in some situations.

I just started college and there's a lot of girls showing interest, but I'm too nervous to do or say anything.

Any help or some suggestions, please?

Answer 2

Home schooling sucks. High schools a ***** and way too much **** goes down there but you do gain a lot of valuable experience that prepares you for life...like talking to cute girls! :P

maybe if your friend is friends with a cute girl, you could all hang out and  you can get to know her so your not as nervous and you get more confidence for the next girl.

Take care man, good luck!

Answer 3

You just need confidence!

Rejection happens to everyone a few times. No need to get all worked up over it.

Just be yourself. :]

Answer 4

you need to remind yourself that girls are just as nervous as you.

(if i had known that men where just as nervous and anxious as i was -- dating in my teens and early 20's would have been much easier!)

get involved in co-ed groups - co-ed sports, interest groups, etc.

self-confidence is hard to build. so don't fall prey to other insecure men who give you 'great advice on picking up chicks'. pick up lines DO NOT WORK .. they do nothing but tell the girl how insecure you are!

the best thing you can do is say 'hi'.. and be yourself when you mean someone you are attracted to.. remind yourself in your head that no one else can see how nervous you are (people think they are way more transparent than they actually are), and that the person you are talking to is 'just a person too'!

Answer 5

Well, if you are nervous why don't you just pretend not to be. I'm a girl and sometimes I feel nervous too when I am standing in front of guys, so what I do is just pretending and acting. Someday, you will even forget if you are just pretending and so you become braver to face it. Acting is just a kind of exercise for me to take me a little more braver each moment if I don't until someday I really feel braver without acting. Talking in front of a lot of people is also acting. I once read it on a book. =). so good luck to be much better !
