Helpful Dating Advice for Shy Guys

The dating world can be a very intimidating place. It’s even more so if you are a shy person. Trying to approach a woman you are interested in can become overwhelming if you find yourself feeling uncomfortable in social situations.

 With the right dating advice for shy guys you can learn how to strike up a conversation with an attractive woman and ensure that she finds you charming and intriguing.

One of the best pieces of dating advice for shy guys is to carefully choose where you go to meet women. Most men consider a crowded bar or nightclub the optimum choice. It’s not. If you are unsure about how to get a woman’s attention, going to a crowded nightspot will make it even more challenging. Most nightclubs will be packed with other single men all looking for the same thing you are.

You’d do much better to go to a relaxed spot where you know you’ll have something to talk to a woman about. Pick a grocery store, hardware store or library. Not only will your competition be much less but it’s a lot easier to get her attention by asking about something as non-threatening as how delicious the fruit is at this time of year or what book she recommends.

Listening can sometimes be a lost art form, particularly in the singles scene. One of the most helpful pieces of dating advice for shy guys is to listen when you are interested in a woman. Once you approach here, ensure that you listen carefully to what she says. If you’ve been nervous in the past about what you’ll talk to an attractive woman about, that issue can be solved by listening and picking up on what she is saying. If she talks about her work, ask her questions about it. Not only will it keep the conversation flowing smoothly but your interest in her will really impress her too.

There’s no shame in bringing along some support when you are venturing out to meet women. Bring along a single friend and look to them for encouragement. It can be much easier to approach a woman if you are with someone else. She’ll likely also see you as less threatening. Once the conversation starts, your friend can politely excuse himself leaving you to focus just on the woman. This is great dating advice for shy guys because it can give them a little extra boost in confidence knowing they’ve got someone supportive nearby.

Women understand that not all men are lady killers. They are actually incredibly grateful for that fact. Once you get to know a woman, don’t be afraid to tell her that you are a little shy. It will give her some insight into how you’re feeling and it will make you feel better knowing she understands.

Love and Communication – Five Languages for Healthy Relationships

***********************************************

When we are not feeling loved, valued and cared for, many of us tend to be crankier, more depressed, more sure something is our fault or their fault or somebody’s fault. We can be less patient, and life can seem more difficult. Some of us pass this off as a bad day, a really long week, a rough time. Without oversimplifying or discounting real tragedy, I’d like to offer a way to look at this part of our lives that can help.

In the book The Five Love Languages, Dr. Gary Chapman points out that we all have ways we like to be shown that we are loved, valued, or cared about, but they are not necessarily the same as the way others like to be shown these things. The five ways outlined in this book are:

• Words of Affirmation (saying encouraging things)
• Quality Time (spending undivided time with the person)
• Gifts (physical tokens of appreciation–can be small, but must not have any expectation or condition attached to them)
• Acts of Service (doing things for someone in appreciation or to help)
• Physical Touch (appropriate and loving touch)

Can you see where this may be a problem if you are used to “speaking” love (or value or caring) in Words of Affirmation, but your partner, friend, or child is just longing to “hear” love (or value or caring) in Acts of Service? Kind of like you’re speaking Italian and your partner, friend, or child is listening for French.

Communication in relationships can leave us feeling exquisitely intimate at best or infuriated and humiliated at worst. George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” If we are speaking different love languages, this illusion may not get us where we truly want to be with each other.

There are other benefits to being aware of the love language of our loved ones and ourselves. For instance, when we are feeling certain of being loved, valued, and cared for, then many of us tend to act more caring and positively toward others. Tasks seem easier to accomplish; we have more patience with the things that go differently than we expected. Many of us find it easier to genuinely give of our time, energy, and resources in a loving and caring manner.

In Eat, Pray, Love, author Elizabeth Gilbert shares a story about a friend whose philosophy is that unhappy people cause all the sorrow and trouble in the world. According to this philosophy, when we are unhappy (or don’t feel loved, valued or cared for), we tend to share our misery with those around us. She says, “Clearing out all of your misery gets you out of the way. You cease being an obstacle, not only to yourself but to everyone else. Only then are you free to serve and enjoy other people.”

It’s important for each of us to know how we like to have our value expressed to us by others, and to let those who care about us know that. It’s also important for us to think about the ways others may be showing us they value us and care for us that maybe we haven’t been counting because it’s not the way we’re used to listening or watching for this information. In turn, it’s important for us to notice this about the people we care about, so we can offer our love, value, and care to them in ways they can receive. This is important with our colleagues, our friends, our families, our communities, and our world.

If you want more info, you can check out Dr. Chapman’s books, which not only include his book mentioned above, but also ones about the 5 Love Languages for Children, Teenagers, and Apologies. You can see a general overview and take a quick quiz to see what your love language by clicking on five love languages. In the words of Jackie DeShannon, Randy Myers, and Jimmy Holiday–”put a little love in your heart…and the world will be a better place.”
