How can I start a conversation and stop being so shy?

Answer 1

Don't think about starting a coversation, then you get freeked out about what you can say.
Just say, hi, how are you, hello, always works well.
Remember, a conversation, is by two people, you aren't on your own.
You must have interests, books you have read, shows or movies you have seen, music you like, or some hobby, or pastime.
Don't think what you have to say, just ask questions, which will let you get to know the other person better. Once you start talking, the conversation, will take it's on course.
Some are short, some long. depends on the person. Just relax, and see how it goes.
After a few times, like anything else, you will be more relaxed and confident.
Remember, when you first started to walk, you fell often, but got up and did learn to walk, same with riding a bike or swimming etc. Every new experience takes time and practice.
So just do it, and if you screw up, just remember, it's all a learning experience.

You don't have to say a word....Just always smile and I mean a big smile and make eye contact with the person. I bet you they say Hi first. If by chance they don't here's one that worked on me..."Hi...How ya doing"? with a silly grin pasted on your face there is no girl that wouldn't answer you.
