subject: How to Approach Women Confidently - 4 Ways to Boost Your Confidence With Women [print this page] One of the biggest sticking points for any guy is confidence when it comes to approach women, and even just in dating in general. If you are not really confident about your ability to approach and attract women, then you probably are not going to end up trying much, are you?
You will just rationalize reasons for why you can't get the girl, when in reality, you have no idea unless you actually make the move.
I can relate to not having the confidence to approach women. There was a time when the only women that I dated were ones that I already knew, whether it was through friends or work or school.
Then, I got tossed in the real world, and found that it was much harder for me to meet and date women. All of this was because of not having the confidence to approach women that I did not already know.
I have found that this is a pretty common theme amongst men, and that most guys just never do a thing about it. They just go along and hope that somehow, the "right" woman will just float into their life. And they end up going through LONG periods of time in between relationships.
Here are 4 ways to approach women confidently and boost your overall confidence with women:
1. Work your way up the ladder.
Now, I know that this will be about the most politically incorrect thing that I can say, but let me tell you, it works wonders. I call it working your way up the ladder, and all it means is, before you go and approach women that are drop dead beautiful, practice approaching average looking women. It will enable you to get a little better each time, and make you feel a lot more comfortable around women. So, when you DO move up to the more attractive women, you are already kind of used to making women find you appealing.
2. Go it alone if you have to.
This is one of the things that helped me out, and I think it can help out a lot of guys with the same issue. It can be hard to approach women when you know that you have a group of your buddies behind you, laughing, and acting the fool. If you want to practice on approaching women, sometimes it IS better to go it alone. You don't feel like you have to report back to your boys, and if you do get shot down, there is no one there to tease you about it. Some guys though, will feel better when they are with their boys, so it really is up to you.
3. Talk to any woman that you can, be a talker.
When you are checking out at the store, or ordering food from your waitress, get a conversation started. You may not end up dating her, and you might not even want to. all it does is give you more and more opportunities to speak to women. And the more times you get POSITIVE feedback, the more confident you will grow. Make your waitress smile and laugh, and it will start to become "normal" for you to talk to women that you don't know.
4. Realize that when you approach a woman, she might be as nervous as you are.
Though most women are used to being approached by guys by a certain age, that does not mean that she will not be a little nervous about it. Keep that in mind, and you will realize that you don't have to be PERFECT to end up getting her number. I can't tell you how many times that I swore I messed up, only to end up dating the girl that I thought I messed up on.
