Dealing With Shyness If You Are Dating

The world is full of shy people

The world is full of shy people. This may be true, but how do people that are shy overcome being shy? A little shy is okay, but a lot of shyness can keep you from doing some of the most important basics of dating. Shyness can keep you from getting out and meeting new people, taking chances, and enjoying life. These are three very important fundamentals to dating. If you are a very shy person these three things can seem very daunting. To overcome shyness when it comes to dating, here are some tips:

- Go out and spend time alone in a public place around other people. This can be as simple as going to the mall and walking around.

- With everyone you speak to be sure to practice smiling and making eye contact. Be sure to keep your chin off of your chest and connect with people who seem pleasant and interesting. You don't have to touch them, just smile! Smiles go a long way and everyone understands them.

- Make it a priority to speak to at least one new person a week. You can do this anywhere; in a grocery store, library, or having lunch at your favorite eatery. The more people you speak to the more confident you will get. If you are feeling adventurous, and want to see big improvements in a short period of time, talk to more than one a week.

- Act "as if." If people actually waited until they felt confident in order to try something nothing would ever get achieved. We have all heard this, but how many people have actually tried it. It works!

- Talk to yourself. I am not telling you to make words come out of your mouth, just do it in your head to calm yourself. Tell yourself over and over again that things are going to be okay. Practicing this in a mirror in private is also beneficial.

- Have the attitude, "What's the worst that could really happen?" This works in all areas of life, not just for dating. Coming face to face with your fears and accepting them makes it more manageable. For example, lets say you go up to someone and say, "hi!" The worst thing that could happen is that person turns around and walks away and totally ignores you. Yes, it sucks, and it may be embarrassing, but that's the worst thing that could happen. You are not going to die from this happening.

- Have fun and relax. Shift your feelings away from fear to those of fun and adventure. After awhile of doing this you will probably forget that you ever had a problem with shyness.
