Dating Tips for Shy Guys and Girls. Overcoming shyness can help get your "PAR-TAY" On

Practice Your Intro.. it may feel awkward and just plan ridiculous, but practice in front of a mirror (and yes, we’ve all done it at one point in our lives);

*Practice how you would introduce yourself, saying your name (first name only, or first and last if it’s for business)

*Practice how you’ll smile when you say your name. A comfortable close-mouthed grin helps hide discomfort yet still shows self confidence

*Practice your physical movements while you are introducing yourself. Are your hands comfortably draped down your sides, or they crossed across your chest? Being relaxed physically shows that your are comfortable in the situation, you are open to meeting this person and once again confidence

The Physical Intro (a must for Dating Tips for Shy Guys and Girls list).. adding a physical element to your introduction is key.

It’s awkward to just stand there and say hi and state your name… Adding a physical touch breaks the ice. Dependent on the social situation or your personal preference.. this action can be;

*a hand shake

*a hand shake and slight arm contact (while shaking the person’s hand you reach out with the other arm to slightly rub or pat their upper arm); This one is a masculine one, but is a great for adding a special “personal” element to the standard hand shake.

*a hug; in social situations, again dependent on personal preference, initiating a hug when being introduced by a friend is a warm way of introducing yourself. It shows confidence, warmth and let’s the person know I’m interested in getting to know you… whether it’s a dating situation, friendship, kids parent – it works the same, it’s just about your comfort level and how you’d like to express yourself.
