Question(s) for guys:

Is it that hard to approach a pretty girl?
Is it that hard to make that first move even though you're a confident guy?

There are girls who are described exactly the same way.

Which brings back my question: Why do you expect guys to be able to do something that you've just said you don't feel comfortable doing?

I sometimes do. It depends on the person though.

But I think it's really cool when a guy is confident enough to be able to approach a girl. I personally appreciate that and I'm sure every girl does. I mean, in the case in which both show some (subtle) interest in each other...

When I was younger I had to be 1000% sure a girl I was going to approach liked me. Otherwise I would chicken out of talking to her. Now, I'd still be a little nervous but I can make the first move without being 100% sure of it.

Interesting question. Back in the day eye contact was like a green light to initiate something, so initiate. Most females are as shy as the guys but you never know until you try. Okay so I've ben shot dowwn more times than I can count LOL, but you only live once, and I hate what if's.

Just wondering...

Honestly, are you guys more shy around girls that you can see yourself in a relationship with?
Are you more confident around girls you just want to flirt with and who just want to flirt with you?

I'd be glad to hear what you have to say about this.

For me, I can only be 100% confident if a) I am certain about the outcome or b) don't care about the outcome. If a normally confident guy becomes shy around you then you are especially important to him and Stammering Idiot Syndrome may have set in - the inability to think of something cool enough to say, especially if he doesn't have alot of experience with women.

Think about the worst sad and humiliating experience in your life. Now pretend there's a really good chance you're gonna feel that way if you say 'hello' to someone.

yes! at least for me it is..
i guess my reason for being too chicken to approach a girl is that im scared of making a bad first impression.. she might not like me if my approach sucks. it's A LOT easier for me to make a move on a girl i already know..

yes it is. because you dont know what she is going to say.
