How to Get the Confidence to Talk to Girls
For some people, especially those who struggle with shyness, the opposite sex can seem difficult to talk to. This is normal and can be overcome with the proper mental conditioning. While a few lucky individuals are born confident, far more have to work at it. Developing a high level of confidence will serve you well not only in efforts to talk to girls but also in your daily life now and in the future.

1
Isolate your fear by asking yourself what the worst case scenario would be. Since you are only striking up a conversation with a girl and not asking her out, you need not fear rejection. Without fear holding you back, you will appear more confident to the girls you choose to approach.

2
Focus on your personal appearance. The better you feel you look, the higher your confidence level will be. You can improve your confidence by dressing nicely, styling your hair or working out.

Write down your good points and read your list daily. This will remind you of all the positive aspects of your personality that would make a girl want to talk to you.

4
Practice striking up a conversation with girls you know. Girls you are familiar with, such as friends or the girlfriends of your friends, feel less threatening and will give you good practice that will help you initiate conversations with others in the future.

5
Remind yourself that girls are not that different from you. They may even have confidence issues of their own. If you tell yourself that a girl is just as nervous talking to you as you are to her, you will have less fear of rejection and she will be easier to approach.
-
6
Draw girls to you rather than having to approach them yourself. Demonstrating happiness, smiling and being the "life of the party" will naturally result in others being drawn to your presence. You will find it easier to talk to a girl who approaches you of her own volition.
-
7
Swallow your fears and practice on strangers. The more you do something, the better you will get at it. Practicing initiating conversations with girls who you do not know will teach you which conversation methods work and which do not. When you find a method that works, stick with it. Just knowing that you have an effective plan of action will be enough to boost your confidence level.
