How can i gain confidents to talk to girls?

when i am next to a girl i like i just go silent or start saying stupid stuff to my mates and the girl thinks i am a right prat.



i am a geek sterotype and have really childish friends, but i can't really change friends can i, i just have to wait until they become mature.



i went on a trip with some really 'popular' people and it really shows what a prat i really am.



how can i get confidents to stop using stupidness as a defentive techique and try and get some better friends and meet girls?How can i gain confidents to talk to girls?
i used to have similair problems, couldnt ever look a gal i liked in the eye and always ended tlkin bout the weather. this was until one day when i was about sixteen, i stayed up allnite one nite before going to college. now sleep deprivation can cause sum strange thoughts and feelings and on this particular day it made me very hyper and i didnt care what anybody thought of it, i just went with it. throughout the day i met several different gals and because i wasnt bothered what they though of me i unintentionally came accross as quite a confident person and in the following days was asked out on a few dates. alas i already had a gf. however wot it had taught me is that gals, just like urself are worrying about what the opposite sex is thinkin of them and as a result worry less about the other person actin a bit foolish.



also its totally natural to act at least a little bit shy to begin with, generally the thrilly feelings u get when u first gettin together can be a bit breath taking at times. just dont worry about how u come across to other people and be urself. best and most trickiest advice ever.How can i gain confidents to talk to girls?
