Practice talking to the dude that bags your groceries. Chat up the bus driver about the weather. Talk to the fat girl that sits next to you in Psychology class. Those stupid, awkward mistakes you think that you're making? Nobody has noticed them. Just keep talking to everybody and anybody you can about everything under the sun.

That's how I did it. So easy. All it takes is a "Hi, how are ya?" when they acknowledge you, they'll do the rest if they want to talk. This is especially good with bar staff, supermarket clerks and blue to no-collar workers. As an ex bartender, I can tell you that sometimes they feel like a drink dispensing, grocery bagging, sink fixing, bus driving robot without the super strength and all of the drudgery. A good conversation with a kind gent like yourself might be just what it takes to make them feel human.

Eventually you'll pick up the conversation skills of a young James Bond and you'll find it much easier to talk to this girl. She'll probably even appreciate the funny stories you've picked up on the way. If nothing else she'll at least be more fun than the bus driver.

Seriously, those are some angry, angry people with strange ideas about the economy.

And who knows? You might end up meeting another awesome girl who's better than your current crush.

Godspeed, old boy.

I have this problem with every girl I've liked. I'm an intelligible person having a literate conversation, they walk over and suddenly I'm silent or blathering. It's fucking awful and it's been the end of at least one relationship before. I've resolved since then not to take anything too seriously, to take a few more risks and say what I want to without spending all my time considering what impact it will have. confidence if difficult to build, but if you just start doing things when you feel you should, they will get easier.
