Q: An important step in overcoming your shyness is practicing with other people to increase your comfort with conversations. There are many scenarios in which you can interact with strangers in a pleasant and pressure free environment to develop your social confidence. Approach customer service associates at retail stores to ask for help finding something or to ask an opinion on a product. Say hi to cashiers when cashing out at the grocery store and ask them how their day has been going. Be polite but be brief. The intention is not to strike up a long lasting conversation but rather to develop experience interacting with people you don't already know. Once you have strengthened your social skills through brief conversations with strangers, you can move on to having interactions with other people that aren't necessarily the girl you like. By starting with other people, the pressure won't be as great as you don't need to worry about the possibility of rejection. Approach people at work or in social occasions that aren't the girl you like so you can get practice making conversation with people. Comment on something to engage people in conversation. Try approaching someone at a party and saying, "do you know who plays this song? I really like it." Approach someone at work or school to discuss a recent assignment and steer the conversation toward more personal matters. Try saying something like, "I was going to start working on that last night but then I got caught up in a great show about dolphins." Practicing conversations in low pressure environments can help you overcome the fear of rejection and get more comfortable talking to people. Regardless of who you are talking to, smiling can make you seem friendlier and more personable. Making occasional eye contact can demonstrate your confidence, but avoid making prolonged eye contact as that can be unnerving to some people. Practice smiling and looking people in the eye when you introduce yourself. It may be difficult at first but doing so can make you seem friendly and confident, which are both things girls often find attractive. Smiling can also serve to make you feel better about the situation that you're in. Studies have shown that smiling alters the chemicals in your brain to make you feel happier and more confident.
A: Practice by talking to people in stores. Move on to small interactions. Smile and make eye contact.

Article: This method is a simple way to dress up a plain pair of flip flops or dress sandals. Here's a list of what you will need: Flip flops or sandals 1 1 inch (2.54 3.81 centimeter) wide chiffon/fabric flowers Felt (matching flower color) Scissors Fabric glue You can find them in fabric stores, usually in the ribbons and trims section, or on bolts of fabric in the special occasion fabrics section. They will usually come on some fabric netting. You want them to be between 1 1 inch (2.54 3.81 centimeter) wide. If you have very small shoes or feet, you might want to go for something even smaller. You can also include one or two larger flowers to use as a focal point. The more delicate your flowers look, the better. If you aren't certain what color to choose, get a color that already matches your flip flops or sandals. You can also go with a contrasting color. Do not use fake flowers that come on a stem for this project. Not only will the stem poke you in the foot, but the flowers will look cheap and unprofessional. You may notice that the flowers have been stitched onto the netting. You will need to cut them out. This way, you can rearrange them as you like. Try to cut the flowers as close to the base as possible so that, when you look down at the flowers, you do not see any of the netting. Be careful not to cut this thread, or the flowers may fall apart. If you accidentally snip a thread, then glue it to the back of the flower with a small drop of glue. Just because the glue feels dry does not necessarily mean that it is fully cured. If you wear the shoes too soon, they glue may not hold, and the flowers may fall off. Refer to the label on your glue bottle for precise drying and curing times. Every brand of glue is different. Your shoes may be ready to wear in as little as two hours. They may also require a full day to dry.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Gather your supplies. Choose your chiffon or fabric flowers. Cut the flowers out of the fabric netting. Allow the glue to dry and cure completely before you were the shoes.
