Liza Red,

Um where do I start...

I am having massive problems with approaching guys. It happened to me today.

I saw this pretty guy at the convience store. All of a sudden I got into a panic and my heart went above the 80% heart beat rate lol. When I went to approach him, something blocked in my head. Call it a "choke" if you will.

The only positives were that I maintained eye contact rather than shying away and that I knew what to say. Too bad he was too busy with his ipod.

I feel like I just need to break this annoying psychic barrier that prevents me from saying 'Hi'. What do I need to do? Sometimes I feel like I am the only one on the planet that can't get a boyfriend.

Man I sometimes feel that death is better than doing this. Arrgh.
Liza, why don't you start with the simple stuff. Do what most attractive girls:

Hold eye contact for an extra second and smile. Believe me, any guy who knows what he is doing will get it. (Even some who don't will get it.)

A sincere compliment also works, (something he is wearing that you like, etc.)

Also, asking a simple question from an area where a "Guy" would be an expert works. ;-) Like if you are in that store, and happen to be standing next to the nutrition bars and the guy looks like he works out and is fit, then ask him which one he'd recommend.

If he is an obese slob, you probably don't want to do that. Maybe ask him what's favrorite candy?? OK, enough of that.

Don't look at as "Approaching" a guy. More like having fun with someone you may want to get to know better. That's it.

Take care
Cameron
