Go up to the best lookin one you can find, and just straight up ask them to marry you. You will laugh it off later, and then won't be as shy as you once were. The only problem with this situation is if she says yes.
It dosent mean that you must get totally wasted to start a convo because thats just silly, but a quick drink often can make you feel a little more at ease and a little more confident, plus its an age thing, i used to be terrified of talking to people i didnt know very well when up until i was 16 or 17, then by 20 or so i could chat to people quite easily,and by now i will pretty much bore the arse off anyone who'll listen to me!
Yeah, while my at the best friend at the time (who I liked as more but never really said anything because I already had a girlfriend) thought we should make out 3 times, as she got drunk, while I was sober on a night out.
Not complaining per se, but that's probably the reason I don't speak to this girl anymore. That and because I basically cheated on my girlfriend and still cannot forgive myself for that.
All alcohol does in a social situation is make people out to be who they aren't.
Friend punched a guy last night in front of a restaurant; uhm.. came close to going to jail.
Last weekend someone that didn't even live in the area walked into said friend's house, put his pizza in oven and passed out on their couch; that house could've burned down.
Alcohol is fine.. in moderation.
Get it around the wrong people and moderation has no meaning. I drink (not very often) to be sociable, not to be retarded and puke and forget everything... but that's how it usually goes in college.
imo I just find it a waste of money; friends can drink their ass off; I can modify my car and have fun with it. Sure I may not have the best social life nor the most forgettable (not unforgettable.. see what I did there lol?) spring break.. but hell, when college is over; I will never see 99% of these people anyway, so none of these drunken one night relationships will help anyone in the long run.. sorry.
Just be you; sometimes you have to force yourself to talk to someone and will completely hate it; but each time that happens, the less and less it will be painful.
I'm an EMT, I have to talk to people, but I used to be very shy. As far as asking someone to marry you the first time you meet them is, while very sweet, quite frankly some people will not take well at all. You will have to learn how to interact with people, and the only way to do that is to interact with them. The more you practice the better you'll become. And don't worry, most people are pretty understanding, even when you screw up, so long as you state your intentions and those intentions are noble, people will forgive the misunderstanding.
Indeed he is, looking people in the eyes made me feel more confident while talking to them, also heard that eye contact can make you look more "trustworthy" (can't come up with the right word now) to others... but no staring competiton!
The answer, as many already said is alcohol... But don't get drunk... Just a beer or two, or IDK a shot of vodka, or whiskey... Trust me, it's what helps you, but also, you can't let your courage to just fly away when you see a girl. BE A MAN GODDAMMIT!
