How to Meet Women for Shy Guys

People who are introverts end up having an extremely tight social circle, comprising of perhaps a couple of old friends and the same number of people from work. If the same applies to you, make an effort to join activities which will bring you in contact with a wider variety of people. For instance if you know of a neighbor organizing a Christmas party for children, offer to help along with the shopping or the seating. This will not force you to open conversation with people from your neighborhood but at the same time, it will help you to be around people so that if you see someone you like, you can approach her. Again if your co-workers are planning a picnic during the holiday season, don’t automatically say ‘no’ since you know all your colleagues, you are already assured of a familiar crowd but considering that they will be bringing along guests and friends, it could be a good opportunity of meeting new people as well.

Explore new interests

Shy people often tend to stick to interests which are private in nature and do not require any teamwork or even a partner to pursue. You are likely to find stamp-collecting or gardening among the most preferred leisure activities among shy men and women. While there is nothing wrong in doing things alone, you also need to explore interests which allow you to do things with other people. How about joining a bowling league where you can play as part of a team or even a book club where members meet regularly to have book readings or discuss reviews. Again if you have a bent for music, consider signing up for a dance class. Such hobbies are not only enjoyable in themselves but great for bringing people from various backgrounds and professions together. Best of all a common hobby will automatically offer itself as a topic for interesting conversation so you need not search high and low for things to say to a potential date. If you do happen to meet attractive women at your book club, it is only natural for you to ask her opinion on the latest offering from Dan Brown and perhaps even discuss the finer points of the plot over a latte.

Volunteer every now and then

Identify a cause that is close to your heart and then look for opportunities in your town or city where you can offer your services to help with it.  If you are an animal lover, considering volunteering at the local animal shelter for strays or abandoned pets. Maybe you could also help out at the community animal clinic and thus find a way to chat up the pretty-looking nurse there. On the other hand, if books are all that you are interested in, how about offering to catalogue and file the possessions of your community library? This way you will not only spend your time doing something you like but also open up yourself to meeting others, for instance the good looking assistant librarian or a couple of college students who may have come down to do a bit of reference work.

Get out of your comfort zone

While it is understandable for a shy person to want to remain within his comfort zone, if he is to enlarge his social circle, sooner or later he will have to be more adventurous. There are only so many single girls you can meet at a language class or in your neighborhood gym. If you do want to have a more active dating life, you need to try out venues and activities beyond the pale of the familiar. For instance decide to join a hiking group during a spell of good weather, even if you are not much of an outdoor person. Again you may have never got onto a stage in your life, but just this once be bold and sign up for a theater workshop. Besides the fact that you will get to come across lots of new faces, who knows you may even discover a hitherto-unknown talent for acting in yourself.

Go online

Dating websites are a godsend for people who are naturally shy about meeting people in the actual world. Unlike real-life situations, here you have all the time you need to compose a dating profile or an email when reaching out to potential partners. More than that you can get over with the preliminaries of an introduction and get to know of each other’s interests online and only then decide whether you want to meet the person in real life.

Take failure in your stride

Not all your efforts at opening up your social circle may be successful and certainly not overnight. Despite your best attempts to chat up women, you may find that some of them are unimpressed by you, some already have boyfriends, some will be mean to you while some will genuinely like you. However you must learn to take rejection in your stride – just because one woman is unable to see what you have to offer in a dating relationship, doesn’t mean that others won’t. At the same time, also be wary of wearing you heart on the sleeve. Keep in mind that you are here to meet and date women and that you are perfectly entitled to have an active dating life. Just because someone is the first to be nice to you doesn’t mean that you need to settle down into an exclusive relationship with her. This is something that shy men are often vulnerable to and you need to be completely sure about your priorities before you decide to commit yourself to any single person.
