I'm 22 and still don't know how to talk to girls/women!

I am 22 now and I am as single as can be. I never had a girlfriend or even a kiss. You might say that at that I'm not ancient and at that age its not to strange to be inexperienced, but to me it feels like I'm waiting for hundreds of years for that special person to enter my life!

Being single I feel like every day is a waste of time and life has no purpose.

I don't ever go out to bars, clubs etc because I hate it.
I am to shy to just go and talk to a stranger, so the only girls I ever talked to were pretty much all classmates.
I fell in love once, with my best friend, although she was in a relationship since long before I met her. I ended up depressed and without any friends left.

At the university there is one girl that I think is cute. But a future where I would even talk to her had to involve a miracle! She is always sitting with her friends and can never be found alone.
And even if I ever found her alone and drumed up the courage to speak to her I have no idea what I should say.

    Advice from a girl. Just be yourself we love that about men. We like guys who show their trueselves at all times. It doesn't matter what you look like or what grades you get. We just want a guy who is truthful and kind, not being to serious is also a thumbs up to you. Just become friends with her and then eventually ask her out. The worst thing she can say is no and you sound like a good enough guy if she says no then she doesn't deserve you not the other way around. I REPEAT BE YOURSELF.

    Here's how you do it.

    Walk up to one of us, say hey beautiful, and then slap our ass.

    (just kidding, don't do that you'll get arrested.)

    REAL ADVICE:

    How you REALLY talk to women is a lot like talking to guys I'd think. Just be real friendly but not on a stalker-ish level. Yes, a lot of women like twilight. But no, we don't like being stalked. (at least I don't anyway.)

    Remember not to be too sexual right off the bat. That's not really a good way to make someone think well of you, and it's not because we don't like sex, it's just because creeps aren't exactly that appealing whatsoever. Remember that feelings of attraction aren't a given! And don't be afraid to make friends because in my experience, I've only ever fell in love with guys who were my friends and were fairly nice to me. One thing to mention though is to not be a little suck-up. Be a kind companion, not a servant. Women don't like a guy like that who offers everything in exchange for nothing because it shows that he's a wimp. But being a jerk is just as bad, so you want to avoid that as well.

    That's how you maximize the possibility of getting a girlfriend. You just gotta put yourself out there, and not worry too much. Be confident and try to be as hygienic as possible, be friendly (and flirtatious if you're looking for a relationship.) and don't underestimate yourself. We're humans just like you are, not some mysterious alien species.

    Thanks everybody for your comments.
    I will try to just talk to her sometime soon.
    Don't worry, I'll be myself, never been anybody else. I'll just try to be a little more confident than I usually am or else she could as well talk to a stuttering tomato.

    Ha im going to give you the: just be yourself crap! Which isnt crap at all.. You see, if you pretend to be some1 els and they like it.. You cant realy be with some1 for long. If u are urself and they dont like it, who gives a crap, thats you and if they dont like it shes not the right1 . If u wanna get into a conversation, just make a random remark u think she can relay to, works for me

    And damn im crap at translating;d this sounded muxh beter in my head/own language

    I'm shy too, but your soulmate wont fall from the sky, you have to make some moves. The only true lover ive had in my life was the only girl i got up, went and talked to her. When i arrived in her face i realized i hadnt planned any pickup line or whatever... I simply asked her if she wanted to go take a walk with me lolll so all i want to say is; if the girl is interested in you, you dont have to prepare the perfect match plan, just be yourself

    Everyone has some anxiety about talking to the opposite sex at some point in their lives. We think the other side is different and we couldn't possibly have anything in common. But hey, they're human too. Making a fool out of yourself one time in ten is much better than never knowing love.

    The first comment makes sense, and he is right. But, hey I know how it feels cuz Strangely I am in the EXACT situation. Only difference is that I'm 21.

    The thing of it is, you really just have to bite the bullet and go for it; meaning, if you do see her, even if she is with friends or alone, go out there and talk. I know it sounds like a nightmare, but that's kinda the only way it would work. Like 04zx6r said, it'll build your confidence up and it displays confidence to her that you're going up to her and talking.

    Think of things to say beforehand that will make you comfortable and get things going. I know, the first step will be hard, but it'll only get better.

    I am trying now, and am making progress. Everyone's not the same and people like us have a bit of a harder time trying to get things going. But once you take that first step, you'll find it easier to do to other girls you like.

    Hope that helped my friend.
