These days, approaching a woman in the USA or Western Europe can take a lot of energy and self-confidence. If your hands shake or your voice is unsteady, she may notice.
She may not consider you a serious potential boyfriend. In my view, Western European and American women often have high expectations, especially in their early twenties. This can make it difficult for men to speak confidently. Confidence is not something every man can develop overnight.
- Accept that you may fail. Failure is part of life.
- Think about what you are going to say.
- Speak slowly and in a deep voice.
- Practice on your own. Imagine going on a date with a woman. Keep practicing until you feel confident in what you are saying.
- Practice talking to women you’re not interested in dating. You’ll gain confidence and find future conversations easier.
- Have a drink if you don’t feel confident enough.
- Stop listening to other people and listen to yourself.
