Dating

[NateDawg]

Hi. I am far too inexperienced with female relations and dating for a guy my age (24). I have had only a few "relationships" with girls. I feel insecure around most ladies as I am only 5'3 and lack the courage to even approach them. Does anyone have advice on how short men can gain confidence and ask girls out?

Thanks.

Nate

First of all, relax. *If you are tense and anxious, it's going to be noticable and not very helpful.

Second, have a little more faith in yourself. *Confidence is very attractive. *LOL... you've hit on one of my pet-peeves... "They won't like me because I'm... {short, tall, fat, thin, old, young}"... whatever. *And just HOW do you know this? *I will absolutely guarantee that there are some women that you will find attractive that just LOVE shorter men. *You won't know unless you try. *Which brings us to...

How to approach someone... *Would you be as nervous if it was another guy you just wanted to talk to? *Probably not, right? *Look at this the same way. *You're approaching someone to just talk... maybe make friends. *Then, if you "click", you might ask them out. *Pay attention to what you are talking about with her. *Does she like to read? *Ask her to met you for coffee at a bookstore cafe. *Sports? *Ask her to a ballgame. *Get the idea? *Don't make it a big deal and it won't be one.

Good luck.
