Questions about how to meet and talk to girls?

I'm an 18 year old guy going to community college and working every other day. The problem is I'm generally a shy person when meeting new people by myself, and I've had situations where I can talk to girls and get to know them, but I say little to nothing when the opportunity comes up. Basically I want to know what's the best way to talk to girls and be comfortable with it. I've also had experiences with girls who I've liked and/or have seemed to like me, and when I tell them they just want to be friends. How do I avoid ending up as ';just a friend';? Is being nice the wrong way to go about it? Any help or input anyone has would be greatly appreciated.Questions about how to meet and talk to girls?
Just walk up them and talk to them about somethingQuestions about how to meet and talk to girls?
Just dont give up. We as girls feel the same way, so dont be nervous or cared. We're probbaly more nervous at the fact that u are talkin to us. Just dont be pushy or annoying, or talk too much...cuz then we'l think ur wierd. Maybe have a friend introduce u to his friends. or u guys could doubledate or blinddate
Lets say you saw a girl with a Metallica shirt on and you love Metallica, you should compliment her and if she doesn't walk away you should start a conversation with her, I've had people say I was just a friend. But you should really talk to people with the same interests as you, thats how I met my last boyfriend.
meet girls in a romantic setting...ie club, dance, party...they'll be more likely to see you as possible bf than as friend



take it from a girl...being nice is definitely the way to do it...some girls have a thing for bad guys, but we really appreciate a guy who's sweet and caring



the more friends you have who are girls, the more confident you'll be with other girls



plus in movies the ';friend'; always gets the girl



good luck! :-) hope this helps
u really need to be yourself because i hate guys that try and act like someone that they r not so just talk to the girls and get to know them and just start a conversation say hi how are u and then there u go u have made friends with them and u might get further if they like u...... good luck
Check this out. It's foolproof.

Get a bag of balloon animal balloons. Approach a random girls and say, ';Wait! I've got to make you a balloon animal!'; Then blow up that balloon. It's really hard, so make it funny. Then, go nuts twisting and turning that balloon, making as much noise as possible. Tie that balloon into a big wad of nothing. Then, with a very proud look on your face, hand it to her. She'll say, ';It's so cute..........What is it?'; Then just make up an animal. For instance.... It's a horse!! Then take a Sharpie and write your name and number on that balloon and walk away.



The only way to stay away from becoming the ';gay friend';(as we call it around here) is to move quickly. If you develop feelings for a chick, chances are that she feels the same way. You can't have many late night ';heart to hearts'; without becoming the gay friend, unless you make a move. If she is hanging out with you and giving you the chance to be the gay friend, that means she's waiting on you to make a move. Good Luck Buddy!
yeah dude friend zone sucks. been there many times its one of the disadavantages of being nice. but what you can do is use it to your advantage the more you talk to the janes your friends with the more comfortable and confidant youll become with other janes . and they will pick up on that and youll find yourself getting stuck alot less.
Aye, some girls like shy guys and others like the more chatty kind. So there's nothing really wrong with being a little shy since some people do prefer the strong silent type.



If you're uncomfortable talking to girls one-to-one, try hanging out with them in a group. If you've nothing to say, you could just smile-but not too much. How about giving a sincere compliment?



From my experience in school, the guys whom girls like as friends are those who know a little about fashion and beauty and girl problems. So learn these up or alternatively, learn from what your other outgoing guy friends are doing.



I guess after that, the key is to practice.



That's for the conversation part. I'm clueless about why you think girls like you when they just want to be friends. Some girls are just friendly. Do observe how they behave around other people to gauge if their behavior towards you is normal and merely friendly.



Hope this helps. :)
