How to approach a person

[Randy]

This is to help those who are scared of approaching someone they like.



How do you approach someone you are interested in? What advice would you give someone who is too nervous or afraid to approach someone?

Just because you're interested in them doesn't mean they're interested in you, so before you get over excited and plan on becoming married, remember that.

Basically, if you don't give it a shot, then you'll never know, and all that nervousness was for nothing. It's something you just have to do, and it doesn't get easier until you do it. Yeah, at first it was hard, because anxiety kicks in, but I learned not to get my hopes up only to have my expectations hit down.



Most of it has to do with self-confidence, and you just have to learn to accept yourself. On another note, that person you're approaching may be nervous as well, but neither one of you is more important or better than the other, so remember that.

My best advice would be to hang out with them and be friends first, before you ask them out.

I just go for and what's the worst that can happen? Okay, you find out they are not interested but at least I gave it a shot.

Pretty much this, if you have troubles approaching the person you want in the beginning, just try being friendly with her friends first.

Uhmm, I don't know. You could get in that whole friend situation.

Ive never approached someone I liked before with the purpose of trying to get into their pants. I just start making small talk and see where it goes from there. You could admire someone from afar but when you get to talking to them, you might not like their personality or whatever. If everything starts clicking and it feels like its going to have the possibility of turning into a date or just a friendship then baby steps are taken from there. Like starting off by exchange phone numbers then go do something social like going to a coffee shop or a restaurant to get to know each other better.



Coming on too strong usually chases a girl off from what Ive seen.
