Listen you like weight lifting and history. Like wondergirl said you isn't going to find any girls that are interested in that stuff. I am but I'm different than them. Anyway. Find an activity or a subject that girls find interest in. If you have child development take that. It will help you meet girls and it will also go your way if you want to be a parent. :) get into a subject or take a deep breath and go up to her and just say hi. Find out what interests her. That first hello might be hard but it will get easier :) I been down that road a lot of times. If you need anymore specific help just say so :)

My younger son took some of the home ec classes in high school. He learned how to mend his own clothes, learned how to cook, and he had a date every weekend.

HeathFunk you just need to get out of your comfort zone just a little. If you ever need a little encouragement or some help Wondergirl and I will be here. She helpe me a lot. :) she has awesome advice if I was you I would take it :)

Talaniman Rule-Talk to them all.

Practice making female friends until its as natural as making guy friends. When you stop being afraid of YOURSELF, OR REJECTION, then you won't be shy. You don't hunt for a girl friend, you make a friend.

HINT- Find out what they are interested in. You have to have confidence in your own social skills to interact with others. Mostly its paying more attention to others, than your own shortcomings. I'm a shy guy too, just not around other people. :)

Good luck!! :d

Thanks everybody, it helped me a lot! Thank you all so much.
