Summarize the following:
If you have trouble talking to girls (or just the girls you are interested in romantically), you should think about what's preventing you from saying the right thing. Do you find girls intimidating? Are you worried you'll say the wrong thing? Understanding what you're nervous about will help you counter it. Don't put any girl on a pedestal. It's nice to think highly of someone you like, but no one is perfect. Girls have their faults and flaws too, and they probably worry about many of the same things you do. Take cues from your body so that you can recognize when you're too worked up to have a conversation. Do your breathing and heartbeat get faster? Do your face and body feel flushed and sweaty? If you need extra time to calm down before you talk to girls, walk around a bit and control your breathing by inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. Don't think too much about it ahead of time. Come up with a phrase that you can repeat when you feel like you're losing control of your emotions or body. For example, if you get nervous every time you want to talk to a girl, take a time out. Go somewhere quiet and tell yourself, "She's just a person. Just a person. I'm a person. Just a person. I'm a person." When you've calmed down, you should attempt to talk to her again. Think about what the girl means to you, and what you want to tell her. What is your goal? Do you want to date her? If you are dating her, do you want to remind her of how much you appreciate her? Once you've got some sweet words in mind, get in front of a mirror and say them out loud. Knowing exactly how you're going to phrase your sentence can be hugely helpful. Even if you have a general idea of what you want to say in mind, actually putting it into words will be beneficial. Try not to feel silly when you do this because it's important to notice how you carry yourself. Hold your head up (not too high), stand up straight, and look her in the eyes when you talk. Almost any girl is happy to talk to a confident person, and you want to show her that you believe in yourself. When you go to talk to girls, pay a little extra attention to your appearance. You will feel more confident, and, by putting in the effort, you are showing a girl that you care. Brushing your teeth, shaving, taking a shower, and wearing the clothes you feel good in are all great ideas. The more confident you are, the better.
Think about your reservations. Understand that girls are people, not goddesses. Notice the physical changes that happen when you are around girls you like. Don't be afraid to talk to yourself. Plan ahead. Practice. Put your best self forward.
