Doesnt matter if it's girls or guys. Though this gets much much worse with girls. If me and another person are together I am WAY more talkative than if there was a third person around, or if we were in a group.

This has actually hindered my ability at talking to girls because they're not always by themselves. And I feel the things I ask, say, jokes I make, or interest I show in the girl might be considered casual by the girl but a third person would see straight through all that and know I'm trying to court her (which is not always the case) and mentally label me as a creep. So what happens is I end up not talking or just listening and remarking. And conversations peter out.

IIN? Any advice?

    Wear diapers if you're worried about incontinence.

    It's easier to interact one on one because you tend to constantly focus on each other and you don't have to worry about the judgments of more than one person. Typically in a one on one conversation the other person won't make you feel embarrassed and there is always room for you to butt in with a comment without being drowned out.
    You probably just like to be heard and may not be entirely comfortable with your communication/social skills.

    It's always easy talking with just one person. Figure out if what you want to say is important enough and wait your turn to say it.
