Most guys are nervous about approaching a woman. If you feel this way, you only need to understand how women think and why they act like they do. Understand them and you will have more confidence in your approach which will see you get a girlfriend sooner rather than later.
It is important to immediately come off as someone interesting. Think beforehand about things you can talk about. It can be something funny or witty about a recent news happening, a movie, a book, a place or something you can engage her about. Do not reveal so much about yourself and make sure you do not come off sounding desperate. Instead of asking for a number, ask for an email address so you can forward her something. Just take a new approach.
Watch how you act physically. Do not give the impression that what you want is just to get physical. It sounds old fashioned but women like a gentleman. Hold off and you are likely to be taken seriously. Keep it to a hug and brief kiss and leave it that time until she indicates readiness to go further.
When she is ready to get more intimate, you will not miss the signs by what she says and how she handles you. Go rushing in before then and you will soon be hurtled out of her door and her life. If it is a long term or serious relationship that you are after, learn to bid your time.
Also, keep your approach interesting. Think beyond coffee and dinner dates. The familiar quickly loses its appeal. Capture her attention with interesting date ideas such as hiking a trail, cooking her dinner instead of going out, wine and cheese tasting and other interesting activities.
It may seem like speaking out of both sides of the mouth, but you should keep your distance in order to close it. This means laying off completing sometimes, like for a few days after giving her close attention consistently. See how she takes it. You will also be able to judge how keen she is about you.
You may also want to try to get a girlfriend on the net. There are some credible dating websites that can help you meet someone you might otherwise never have met. Put up a good photo of yourself and a profile that is funny, witty and memorable. When you start getting responses, narrow down to your best choices, meet them at least once and take it from there.
