How to Have the Confidence to Talk to a Stranger

Published by laurenr at 4:35 pm under Communication, Meeting Singles Edit This

Sure it may not be the easiest thing to talk to an attractive stranger. By the time you work yourself up to talk to that person, they’ve walked away and you’re left wondering what could have been had you only opened your mouth. If you’re wondering how to gain the confidence to talk to that attractive stranger across the room, here are some tips.

Tell yourself that if you lose this chance, you may not get it back again.

Is not being able to have have the confidence to have a conversation with someone really worth losing a chance with someone potentially great?

Give yourself a pep talk from the moment you’re getting ready for as long as you feel that you need it.

Don’t start doing it when you actually see someone you’re interested in talking to them, that’s too late. By that time it may talk so long for you to work up the courage that you may never get your chance.

Look fabulous.

When you dress well you feel more confident. You know you look good, therefore you have no questions going through your mind about your appearance.

Have a couple of sips of alcohol first (of course, if you’re legal age).

While alcohol obviously isn’t the answer to all life’s problems, it will relax you a little bit so when you walk up you’re not so nervous that you can’t manage to get two words out.

Have the mentality that whatever will happen, will happen.

Don’t go into the conversation preparing to get a phone number, but don’t go in there preparing to get rejected either. Go into the approach telling yourself that at least you tried and whatever is going to happen, you’re okay with.
