Are you funny haha or funny weird?

Honestly, I might could suggest a little alcohol to take the edge off? I'm really not a good talker myself, I too am very self aware, I might say something that is really over some peoples heads. Probably one of your problems. However, after about 2-3 beers, I can go up to any girl and say "hey I'm mar, I'm jeffs buddy. Whats your name?........."

REMEMBER questions to ask her. Don't make them sucky questions, but something appropriate. If im at a college party, I'll ask who she hangs around with, what she studys, who she knows. If i'm at a bar, i ask about their drinking range, does she get down or is she three margartias and out.

Point is, know what you are going to ask her before you ask her. Don't do it like you are reading a paper, but get information. Get information and use it. Start tailoring her questions. Figure out what she wants to talk about and can talk about. You will find places to talk...she will start asking you questions....just stay calm and whereever the conversation leads, go there. After a conversation is over, its over. Don't try to force it.

Honestly, what i like to do when I meet a new girl, I pretty much ask for the "story". Who are you...who do you know...why are you here....what do you do....

I can spend 30 minutes with any random girl asking those 4 questions. Girls love to talk. Learn to talk...its not that hard especially when your thoughts are your words....which you probably know what i mean by that.
