I'm male 15 and shy around girls that i like and need help to get over that. I'm getting sick and tired of feeling shy and nervous for reasons that i can't explain because i have no reason to be shy or nervous around her/them. I really do want to talk to her/them but can't because of it. The one time i did work up enough confidence to talk to her i think i screwed up and i made my self look like a total moron. I also can't seem to keep a conversation going at all with girls. So please any advice and/or help will be greatly appreciated!

can't keep a conversation with girls in general (any) or just can't seem to find the right words with girls you like?

I mean, the first time you rode a bike or tried to roller blade, you probably fell a bunch of times and scraped yourself up, right?

The reason we end up learning to ride bikes or roller blades is that we don't take the falls too seriously. We don't kick ourselves and say "Moron! You f**** d up!" We just realize it takes some spills to learn to ride a bike.

It's the same with dating. It's SOOO awkward at first, and believe me, the girl is probably feeling just as nervous as you. Even if she doesn't seem like it.

Are you in any clubs or do any sports or theater where you can meet people with similar interests? That's a good start right there. You have things in common to get the ball rolling

Maybe if you find ways to hang out with groups that include both boys and girls you'll get more comfortable with them and be able to talk to them easier.
