How do I talk to girls like i would to anyone else?

i'm an seventeen year old and i'd like to know how I can become more confident in a conversation with any girl. The problem with me is that i always seem to freeze when I see someone cute. I always tend to feel nervous that she might think that I might leave hints that i like her, in which i don't. I really like to learn how to talk to girls as if its no problem at all. I don't like to be like a lot of guys who treat girls more kindly but i'd rather treat them as equals. I really want to have more friends but this boy/girl attraction is getting to me all the time. Please help, this has been going on for too long!How do I talk to girls like i would to anyone else?
do exactly like you just said. treat them as equals. i'm 22 and a girl, so i hope you take this to heart, but it's really not that big of a deal. girls are obsessing over what to say to you 10 times more, trust me. the more casual you are, the more at ease they will be. calm down, take a breath, and just talk. it doesn't matter about what. girls like to talk about themselves, so ask them a question. if you open up the right doors, you won't have to do much talking, just listening, lol. a guy friend of mine told me once that he used to keep something in his pocket, like a paper clip, to kindof distract him a little bit. so he wasn't so focused on making an *** out of himself. you'll be ok, the second you chill out, you'll realize it's not that hard.How do I talk to girls like i would to anyone else?
Quit worrying about how they look and just talk to them.
be yourself

make jokes

make fun of them

smile
email me and I'll send u my number and u can practice on me.
a couple of hints, every girl has the same problem when they see someone that they feel intimidated by. the problem here is that you feel intimidated by these girls which says to me you suffer from low self esteem in some place. the good thing is that you are asking for help. the best advice i can give is that the worst possible thing any woman/girl can say or do is....';no';. a single word, and that single word (2 letters) is only powerful if you let it be. As for confidence, you already have it, you are just thinking too much about what that girl and your friends will think if they find out she says no. you care too much what people think, my suggestion is that if they dont pay your bills, then there opinion doesnt matter. but just be yourself and dont try to hard, and have patience, you will find a great girl if you make sure you dont turn out to be like every other teen your age when it comes to girls.



ONE MORE CRUCIAL THING!!!!!!! Always, no matter what, be a man of your word. if you say it....do it. if you promise something, deliver!!!! in the end all you have is your integrity. and trust me bud, woman admire a man with integrity that can deliver, it lets them know that they can trust you.
man i remember i used to be like u back den. but by the time i was 16 or 17 i just realized women dont really care how u talk to em if its just friend to friend. u can talk to em just like u talk to ur boys. just not as extream like u know when ur talking to ur boys n dey crack on u u can just say f u ck u ****** and nothing happens. just dont do that with girls untill u know their at the point that they know u and are really comfortable with u. like my homegirls i jus talk to em like ill talk to anyone eles. bout cars, other women, life, sports. watever. my advice is make them feel comfortable with u in the beggining and it will grow from there. next thing u know they will be calling u just to talk cuz they got nothing eles to do.
You obviously don't have any sisters or I'd tell you to talk to them like you would to your sister. Do you have or are you able to talk to your mother or other female relative as an equal or do they still treat you like a baby? If not, what about any female teachers. Most adults appreciate a mature young man who can talk to them as friends, instead of them having to be always an authority figure.



You can try volunteering, tutoring if you have good grades or get job or taking up more sports where you get to be with many different people.

Also, you can try getting a female penpal with similar interests, you're age, on the Internet but make it clear that you only want to be friends and not more.



You also need to get over the the fear about the boy/girl attraction. It may happen regardless (whether you are attracted to her or otherwise) beyond your or her control.



You have social phobia. You're too nervous because you're afraid of embarassing yourself but you're already embarassing yourself by being nervous. The sooner you get over it, the better off you'll be. You should forget about thinking whether you might make her think you're flirting with her. If you freeze she'll really believe you are interested in her. Just try to be yourself and talk about common interests and treat her in a way you'd like to be treated. If it seems as if she's flirting with you, don't reciprocate. If you make friends with a girl and it turns out she had a crush on you and she thought you liked her too, would that be so bad? Ask yourself what is it that bothers you. Are you afraid of confrontation? Being laughed at? Then work at getting over it. All you can do is learn to control yourself and know that you cannot control other people. If you are afraid of people are laughing at you, you can't let it get to you.



Lastly, you could try seeing a counsellor whom you can talk to and get an objective opinion about it if nothing else works.
