Dating Tips for Shy People
Even shy people date. It’s natural to say don’t worry, its only meeting people, but if you are shy it can feel as if a hole beneath your feet will open up. Like all things, it’s all in the preparation. Not matter who you meet, where you go or what you eat, there are a few things you can guarantee.
Appearance
If you make sure you look good when you go out then it will take the pressure off you and you can concentrate on your date.
Conversation
There are a few things they will ask you and you can return the complement by finding out about them. Talking needs to be a two-way thing, so if you have a few questions in mind to start with you won’t feel the urge to clam up. Where did you go to school, what do you do, do you have a pet and what do you do to relax are great icebreakers.
Body Language
Being relaxed is important on a date. The key to this is breathing – if you take a quiet big deep breath and let it out slowly, it slows your heart down and naturally relaxes you. Look your date in the eye, don’t cast your eyes down or avoid them, and sit facing them with your knees pointing in their direction.
If you appear relaxed, talkative and attentive then they will notice you and not your shyness. Everyone is nervous on a first date and getting over shyness is not an overnight thing, but by coming forward more you will seem a confident, passionate and interesting person.
