Perhaps a few more details? What does abeille find difficult? What is abeille worried about?

Get drunk, you'll stop being nervous. The key is to find a balance between being sober but shy and drunk but 'grope-y'.

Take props.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but if you can pull something out of your pocket which is vaguely interesting (like a cd or movie ticket) it might give you some common ground to talk about?

Soooo cute! I heart these threads <3

A meal is always nice. A little alcohol if you're nervous. Then cinema (preferably a scary/gross film. May I recceomend 28 weeks later :hubba:

)

Or am I just pleased to see you?

But honestly, I know it's mental but whenever I'm shy around another shy girl, I just fish around for inspiration...

I'm also the kind of bloke who has to take conkers, penknives, paperclips, toy cars and string out of my pockets when I go through airport security......

I don't think this is as daft as an idea as some of the other posters have made it out to be! :smile:

Before my boyfriend asked me out, we had an in joke about a certain type of animal, and he turned up at our first date with a stuffed toy version of it. :smile:

Gave us a starting point for conversation, and really endeared him to me.

Hooray! The last date I went on, me and the girl had an inside joke about that song about ice-cream and lollipops, so I took her a chupa-chup so she could "lick my lollipop."

How am I still single? :redface:
