shyness / sensitivity

i'm a 17 year old male, and i'm shy.
i don't know why. i'm about 6 foot, athletic (i swim almost every day, and eat well) , and i'm told by female friends that i'm good looking. but i find it difficult to talk to girls. how can i overcome this? is it simply a matter of hooking up more often (which i don't do very much at all) or do i need to just sod everything and go for it?
i think i might be too picky with girls, tbh.

Well, if you are in fact, as you say, too picky with girls, you might want to branch out and see whether girls that don't necessarily fit your type would work out.

but vis a vis the shyness, I don't think you necessarily need to hook up more, but simply become more comfortable in the company of girls in general. If I could make a suggestion, set up something like a weeky "Tea-time" with your female friends to just chat and relax, and that relaxed atmosphere will transfer onto girls you don't know so well.

Try to relax. Just because you talk to a girl doesnt mean you have to marry her and have her babies, it's just conversation, no different from what you have with your male friends.

Its probably easiest to strat this kind of thing (ie talking to girls) by chatting to girl you dont find at all attractive, once you feel comfortable enough, start branching out!
