How do you guys ask someone out? There's this cute fella I'd really like to ask out, but I'm crazy shy and entirely afraid to talk to people I'm attracted to. I'm awkward, and the least smooth person. What should I do?!

How do you conquer a lifetime of shyness? How do you actually talk to members of the opposite sex without alcohol or wanting to vomit?

And now for the typical MR set plug ...

Thanks for all the comments on my RTFM set currently in Member Review! And if you haven't seen it, check it out here and maybe give it some love if you like it! <3 <3 <3

It might actually be the last set I shoot. I feel like I've reached the point where I don't really need to model anymore. It might be the 5 month countdown to my 30s coming at me, but my heart/creativity just isn't in it. RTFM is a set I love and feel captures who I am, so I'd be happy leaving it as the end one. But I heart SG regardless.

Will miss having new sets from you. I wish I could give advice, but I'm always so shy I wait for people to talk to me first

You just have to do it. The worst that could happen is they'll say no. If he's not an idiot, he'll be interested. You seem like a perfectly lovely person over the internet anyway.

Its hard to believe that youre shy when it comes to asking people out Posh, all your photos are full of confidence. Youre so damn gorgeous I bet you usually melt any boys heart you come into contact with.
Hey just remember youre talking to another human who most likely would love to go out with you. Be upfront "Hey, want to go have a drink?"

Yeah it will be sad not seeing photos of you anymore. frown Sad panda. But I too am a shy person. But I hope the guy would have the common sense to see what a wonderful woman you are and how beautiful you are. A guy not interested in you they are gay or had their tunk removed.

I love that set. smile

For the asking out thing, I kind of suck. I don't think I've ever asked some one up front. I usually end up dating friends though, and that works well. So, maybe go to a show, or if you're not ready for one-on-one up front, ask if they'd like to go out for a night with you and some friends. And agreeing with the above comment, you're gorgeous and likely have an amazing personality to go with it, whoever it is would probably love to spend some time with you. good luck! xo

The few times I've talked to you, you've been unreservedly sweet for no other reason than that's how you are. I would say if you strike up a conversation with this guy and just ask him if he wants to go see a movie. Those are pretty safe first dates that can be "just friends" if it doesn't go well.

I'm agree with McKenneth, the worst that could happen is they'll say no. But I understand what you're living. I'm a crazy shy too. A good way I found to introduce myself is by humor. You also can look in their eyes with a litle smile. You have a good chance that they'll make the first step.
But you don't have to be so shy. You have all the tools to melt an iceberg!!! You have a great body, incredible eyes and a beatiful smile! Come on, be confident!!!!

shiit I'm still trying to conquer shyness.

The best thing to do is have some stock sayings. That way, you'll have something to fall back on whenever you're at a lost for words.


Second, don't think about what others are thinking about you. They're not. They're just a self conscious, maybe even more so, than you are.

I'm currently sorting this out with a therapist, among other things that need sorting.

Good luck

ditto the thing about not worrying about what others think about you. this has consistently been my biggest downfall.

i say treat it like a job interview where you go in and tell yourself it's no big deal either way. try to keep in mind that you're intelligent and sexy and more importantly, that your awkwardness is just part of who you are. if a guy doesn't like and accept that, he's probably not the right person to be with.

i suck ass in these situations too, but the best results have always been with people who seem to find my dorkness weirdly charming and cute tongue

You get over the fear by recognizing that the worst outcome is he says no. A no will not kill you or ruin your life. A no simply means he is missing out on a great woman. (This was my dating epiphany. Well change woman to man but the idea still works. )

If you consider that you are hot, smart, and funny (I have read your blog) your odd of success are extremely high.

Ask him you really have nothing to lose.

i have the same issue, but the first step to fixing it, is realizing you have an issue. just say hi, you're beautiful, what guy wouldn't want to talk to ya?

Re: conquering shyness.. I could give you some practical techniques, but some of them would be tough to explain via the internets.

I generally agree with IDGAS though.

Maybe I'll PM you once I'm back home and have Mac-cess.
