Shy guys \u2014 most of these men believe they have a far inferior status when it comes to dating. Truth be told: While there are plenty of women who enjoy chasing the bad guys, there are other women who actually prefer a good man.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve always known yourself to be timid, then it\u2019s time to embrace it and start finding a woman worth your time. Here we have certified dating tips for shy guys like you.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Know you already have an advantage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What is that? You are naturally a better listener. Since you enjoy it more when she\u2019s talking rather than you scrambling for the next best thing to say, you practically won her over. It won\u2019t be hard for you to respond to her since you are paying attention to what she\u2019s saying.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Practice makes perfect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Confidence isn\u2019t your strongest point but it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t learn how to be. Start by practicing making eye contact with women for a week. Once you\u2019re comfortable with that, move on to smiling at women. When you\u2019ve mustered enough confidence to do these two, proceed to saying \u201chello\u201d. It is true that practice makes perfect. Once you\u2019ve honed your skills enough and when the time comes you meet that amazing woman, flirting would feel more natural.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Just add a question mark<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Having a problem thinking of what you\u2019re going to say to her? Just add a question mark. Since you are a good listener, just use this to your advantage to think of a question for her. If she told you she\u2019s a sports writer, ask: \u201cSo you\u2019re a sports writer, what\u2019s it like?\u201d<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Pick a more suitable venue<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Extroverted men can easily choose to meet women in a bar because they won\u2019t really struggle in striking up a conversation. As for you, my shy friend, it\u2019s better to choose a venue where there are things to talk about, like a gallery or an auction. Here, you can ask her, \u201cHow do you find this painting? or \u201cIs it your first time here?\u201d. Since you aren\u2019t just some guy who happened to be there, chances are she\u2019ll take interest. Besides, you\u2019re better off finding a more substantial woman for you in these kinds of places.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Be honest<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Most guys enjoy fronting their bravado around women. They brag and most of the time, they come off as jerks. You, my friend, shouldn\u2019t do the same, especially if you\u2019re planning on making up stories about the number of women you dated. Be honest. Everybody knows people could use more of it. In fact, women appreciate honesty\u00a0a lot<\/em>.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Have a wingman with you<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Don\u2019t get all insecure on us. It\u2019s just a matter of choosing your wingman wisely. If you truly know your friend is not the type who will outcharm you with every woman you ask help with, then go ahead and let him be the one to warm the waters. A better bet would be a married man.<\/p>\n

              Being a shy guy isn\u2019t something to wallow about. Embrace your shyness instead and learn how to turn it into something women would adore and appreciate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
