Dating Tips for the Shy Woman

Dating can be an absolute nightmare for shy people. You want to meet the right person, but you�re too scared to do anything about it.

The brain locks up as you scramble to think of something relevant to say. You fall apart as soon as you�re asked what you do for a living. You stammer. The heat rises in your face and under your arms. You�re suddenly incapable of forming a grammatical sentence. You think to yourself, �Why would anyone care about me? I�m really not that interesting!�9. Remember the weather! Some people have the �gift of gab,� the ability to make strangers feel like they�ve known them forever.

• Important and urgent (such as caring for your child that has fallen down and is bleeding);
• Important but not urgent (sitting together sharing about your day);
• Not important but urgent (taking your suit for dry cleaning, before tomorrow's meeting);
• Not important and not urgent (switching on the TV and zapping between the channels).
  

By focusing most of your time on doing what is important but not urgent, you can eliminate a lot of the crises (important and urgent) as well as the unimportant things. Your perspective on what constitutes ""urgent"" will also change.1. Have a regular daily chat.Be warned: These tips will not help you if you don�t leave the house. It�s just too easy to watch a Friends rerun for the umpteenth time instead of meeting people, but I promise you that Prince Charming is never going to climb through your bedroom window.7. Compliment the other person. Sincerity is key, so find something you like and mention it. You may be freaked out by the idea of complimenting a man on his soulful eyes, so mention his watch, suit, tie, or even his shoes. No need to go overboard: �Nice shoes,� will do it.
