Shy Around Girls?  
3 Simple Steps To Overcome It 
If you want to learn how 
to stop being shy around 
girls, then this article will 
break it down for you in 
3 simple steps that you 
can start using today. 
A lot of the information on 
the internet about 
overcoming shyness 
around girls is just plain 
wrong. Back when I was shy 
around girls, I remember 
reading things like “Don’t talk 
too much. Listen and let her 
talk” or “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” 
That type of advice would be great for someone who was already a blabbermouth, but 
how about the guy who is ACTUALLY SHY? What about the guy who can’t just go 
talk to a woman because he feels too nervous? What about the guy who’s smart 
enough to know that nothing really bad can happen, but he still feels that 
overwhelming anxiety that stops him every time? 
Eventually I realized most of the people typing this stuff up had never been shy around 
girls themselves, and so they didn’t even know what actually useful advice might look 
like. 
This Article Is For The Really Shy 
Most guys feel a little nervous around the girls they like, but they’re able to take a deep 
breath, push through it, and become comfortable with them over time. That’s not who 
this post is for. This post is for the guys who feel really anxious, scared and 
inhibited around girls. If you get a strong physical feeling of anxiety when you think 
of talking to a girl you like, or you feel a powerful, paralyzing hesitation when you want 
to approach or ask out a girl, then this post is for you. 
I’ve broken it down to three parts: Overcoming inferiority, not being too invested, and 
becoming assertiveness. This post is going to go into more depth than anything else out 
there. Bookmark this page now so you can come back to it again and again. 
Now here’s step one… 
1. Overcome Your Inferiority 
From my experience teaching hundreds of shy people over the past couple of years, 
both guys and girls, I’ve found the cause of most shyness is a feeling of inferiority. If 
you feel you are somehow “less valuable” than the girl, then you will feel shy and 
nervous around her. 
Let me illustrate this with an example. 
Unattractive Girl Syndrome 
Imagine a girl you know who is unattractive to you, perhaps she is overweight or just 
not your type. Do you feel any anxiety or nervousness around her? No, probably not. 
And if you do, it will still be far less than around the girl you are attracted to. 
Think about the way you talk to girls who you aren’t really attracted to. Are you more 
relaxed and casual around them? Do you talk to them the same way you would talk to 
a guy friend? Meanwhile around a girl you find attractive your mind suddenly goes 
blank and you can’t think of what to say. 
Why does this happen? Why are you only shy around certain girls? This happens when 
you place so much value on looks that a good looking girl becomes intimidating. 
The solution is, of course, to stop placing so much value on 
looks. Treat an attractive girl in the same casual, natural way you 
would treat a guy friend or unattractive girl. Sure, you may be 
attracted more to a good looking girl, but physical looks alone shouldn’t 
be enough to immediately make you intimidated and won over. 
 
I remember back when I was very shy around girls, I would start to 
really like a girl and start to fantasize about our future together… 
without ever really having talked to her! 
In hindsight, it seems so foolish, yet so many shy guys do it. They 
become infatuated with a girl just based on how she looks from a 
distance. They haven’t even talked to her yet, yet they start to imagine 
a future together with her. (I’ll talk more about these unrealistic 
fantasies later.) 
It’s better to have an attitude of “what else do you offer?” Does the girl 
have something other than her looks going for her? There are plenty of 
cute girls in the world, but it’s rare to find a girl you can have fun with and one that has 
a personality that “clicks” with yours.

Do not put the girl on a pedestal before you even know her. Treat her as an equal 
human being, not a goddess. That’s why so many women give guys the advice to “be 
yourself.” They don’t like it when a guy is trying hard to impress them and get them to 
like him. Especially when they haven’t done anything to deserve his attention yet except 
looking pretty. 
Realize that how someone looks does not dictate how valuable they are. Being good 
looking is more about luck in getting the right genes than anything else. Would you 
think that a lottery winner was superior to you? 
Being Less Experienced 
Another way of feeling inferior is thinking that being less experienced than the girl with 
relationships will immediately make you repulsive to her. 
Back when I was shy, I remember I kept having to think I had to “hide” the 
fact I had never had a girlfriend. I thought that if the girl realized from the way I 
acted that I was romantically or sexually inexperienced, then that meant she would just 
get up and leave automatically. 
The truth is, by having an attitude of feeling undeserving of more experienced girls, 
then you are only sabotaging yourself. If you have grown up somewhat shy and socially 
awkward, then it will be almost inevitable that most girls will be more experienced than 
you. 
In order to “catch up,” you need to start to talk to, and become involved with, these 
girls. That’s actually a great perspective to have. The fact that you are less experienced 
than average does not mean girls do not like you. It just means that you have some 
catching up to do because of your shyness or social anxiety. You just started later than 
everyone else. And that brings me to the last point… 
Being Hard On Yourself and Insecure 
Remember the first key lesson: The less valuable you think you are compared to 
someone, the more shy you will feel around them. Inferiority makes you feel not 
entitled to be confident and express your personality. 
Ask yourself: “How do I make myself feel inferior than other people?” 
One big problem you may have to overcome is your own thoughts. Many shy people 
have a constant stream of thoughts that point out what a loser they are. 
If you constantly think about why you’re a loser, how you aren’t good looking, how you 
have some physical flaw that needs to be fixed, how you’re a loner with little or no 
friends, how you’ve never even kissed a girl, etc … then you are just sabotaging 
yourself. 
By being too hard on yourself and being insecure about your appearance you are 
constantly reinforcing the idea in your mind that you are inferior to the girl. This makes 
it IMPOSSIBLE for you to be confident around her, because you think she is more 
valuable. 
And if you are lacking confidence and can’t even talk to her normally, then you have no 
chance of attracting her and forming a relationship. 
Confidence and personality are more attractive than physical appearance to 
most girls. Your looks don’t matter nearly as much as you think they do. If you don’t 
believe me, then look around. All the good looking girls are around the confident, 
popular, charismatic guys. On the other hand, many of the good looking guys who are 
shy are stuck alone or with a girl they’re not really attracted to. Looks matter much 
more to guys than girls. 
So the most important thing is to cut out any thoughts that sabotage your 
confidence or make you inhibited. This means to notice when you are having self-
defeating thought patterns and stop them in their tracks. 
Any thought that makes you think you are less valuable will only sabotage your 
progress in becoming less shy around girls. Notice when they occur, challenge them 
with the ideas you’ve learned so far, and instead try to focus on your good qualities that 
you are proud of. Remind yourself that girls aren’t really after the best-looking guy, but 
one who can be confident and talk to them without being intimidated by their 
superficial qualities. 
2. Stop Being Too Invested In One 
Particular Girl 
If there’s one thing that all shy guys have in common, it’s that they have a tendency to 
pick one girl that may show them even the slightest interest and then become obsessed 
by her. 
Stop The Unrealistic Fantasies 
Do you find yourself picking out one girl that you like and then thinking for hours about 
what it would be like to date her and have a relationship 
with her? 
Maybe the girl showed you a little bit of interest. Maybe 
you just talked to her once for a couple minutes. Or 
maybe she’s in your class and you’ve never spoken a 
word to her before. 
If you are constantly fixated on one girl at a time and 
playing out fantasies in your head about what it would 
be like to date her, then you are again sabotaging 
yourself. 
What do you think happens when you decide you want to finally go talk to the girl in 
real life? You’re too nervous to even move. You’ve thought about her so long and 
built her up in your mind into such a perfect creature that you become 
literally paralyzed by fear.

Meanwhile, the girl may not even be aware that you even exist. 
All the thinking makes you unable to approach her and talk to her casually. And even if 
you do, the way you behave around her still communicates to her that you would be 
totally crushed if she was to disapprove of you in any way or reject you. 
The problem is, you became too emotionally invested in the girl before she had done 
anything to earn your attention. You put so much time and effort thinking about her 
that her rejection of you would ruin your fantasyland image of you two together. 
Don’t Have Too Many Expectations 
One thing in particular shy guys do is they may talk to an attractive girl for a few 
seconds and then put too much meaning into the interaction. They may start 
fantasizing about the girl like I said above. They may go out of their way to pass her in 
the hallway. They may even stalk her photos on Facebook. 
The key to avoiding this issue is to talk to girls without having a hidden agenda to make 
her your one true love. Don’t have too many expectations about a future relationship 
with any one particular girl until you have spent a decent amount of time getting to 
know her. 
The reason why is that people tend to put out their best parts for the world 
to see. 
Until you have gotten to know someone over a period of time, you have no idea what 
they’re actually like. That girl you think is perfect may be annoying to hang out with, 
she may be needy, she may be insecure despite being beautiful, she may be completely 
unintelligent, or she may be into the celebrity gossip shows you hate. 
And if you don’t get to know her, then you’ll never realize you were just seeing her 
through rose-colored glasses. 
The point is, don’t be won over by looks alone. There are plenty of cute girls out there. 
Many of those are as cute as the one you are obsessed about … and they have a 
personality you will like spending time with! 
I’m sure you’ve heard the saying: 
For every hot girl out there, there’s some guy that’s sick of f**king her. 
So after you’ve talked to some girl, don’t start imagining a future together with her right 
away. This will just make you nervous to ever talk to her again. Instead, keep it casual 
and see where it goes. 
Guys who have little relationship experience tend to be naive and think that most 
relationships develop like a romantic movie from Hollywood. Two lovers fall into each 
other’s arm when they first see each other. The reality is much different. Long-term 
relationships develop over time and are always a work-in-progress. 
3. Be Assertive 
One way to stop being so invested in one particular girl is to have many options instead 
of one. The best way to do this is to talk to many women on a weekly or daily basis. If 
you only talk to one new girl a month, then it will be hard not to think about her. But if 
you are constantly meeting new girls then it becomes a lot easier to see her as just a 
girl you talked to one time and that’s it. 
Fate Doesn’t Exist 
Many guys who are inexperienced with women have wrong and naive ideas about how 
relationships work. Maybe you think that the best strategy to get a girlfriend is to wait 
for the right circumstances. 
Are you waiting for a situation where you just happen to meet a girl, you magically 
aren’t nervous about talking to her, don’t have to ask her out, and she makes all the 
moves? That’s like waiting for the stars to align. 
The harsh reality is that you are going to have to work and learn to cope with 
your nervousness if you want to have a girlfriend. The universe will not deliver 
one to you. Sure, you may get lucky a couple times where a girl puts in much of the 
work to get to know you, asks you out, and makes all the moves. BUT … she probably 
won’t be the same girl that you want! 
If you want something, you’ve got to go after it, especially when it comes to dating for 
guys. 
Guys Are The Ones Who Make Moves 
In our society, or perhaps due to our biological programming, it’s guys who need to be 
assertive about meeting new girls and becoming physical with them. 
Don’t like that? Too bad. That’s just the way it works. It may suck if you’re a shy guy, 
but it is what it is. Learn to accept it and live with it. 
You’re going to be the one to approach. You’re going to be the one who asks for the 
phone number. You’re going to be the one who goes for the kiss. Going after a girl 
you want involves risking rejection every step of the way. 
How do you overcome this fear of rejection? You desensitize yourself to it so many 
times that it doesn’t bother you much anymore. 
 
Don’t Hesitate 
Being assertive is like a muscle. The more you do it, the less effort it takes. 
When you want to talk to the girl you like, you will probably hesitate a little. 
You’ll stop yourself. 
Then when you try to do it in a couple minutes again, your “mental barrier” to acting 
becomes higher. It becomes even more difficult to “just do it.” 
And the longer you think about whether you should make your move or not, 
the more anxiety you feel. It’s just like when you think of a girl for months and it 
becomes impossible to talk to her. You’ve built it up in your mind so much that you’ve 
become a victim of paralysis by analysis. 
Instead, you need to act more upon that first impulse. That first impulse is your best 
shot at actually doing it. All the thinking that happens later only serves to talk you out 
of acting on that impulse. 
If you talk to a girl and she doesn’t like you, then don’t start thinking of ways to make 
her like you. There are literally billions of girls out there, just try a different one. 
Conclusion 
I hope these tips help you to get over your shyness around girls. Much of this 
information was a turning point for me going from a hopeless guy with extreme 
shyness and social awkwardness to someone who has overcome shyness and has 
decent social skills. Enough to talk to girls I’m attracted to without feeling shy at all. 
If you enjoyed this post, then I have some good news. 
I’ve put together an email course specifically about how to overcome 
shyness around girls. These emails are going to go more in-depth about where to 
meet girls, what to say to make them attracted, how to get sexual with girls, and so on. 
This course is NOT for guys who can get some dates already. It’s specifically designed 
for guys who are very shy around girls.
