How To Prepare For A Date If Shy

Relationships : Online Dating

If you are shy, then a date can seem particularly daunting.

And the best way to overcome it is with preparation.

There may be awkward pauses and silences, and you may find it hard to think on your feet.

Therefore two things spring to mind straight away:

Firstly, prepare answers to questions that you think you will be asked.

Secondly, prepare some questions to ask them. These can be about them, their experiences, their attitudes, their passions, their thoughts on current affairs - anything.

If you can prepare about ten questions to have ready when things go quiet or to move conversation then you won't need to be too nervous and desperately seeking things to say whilst on the date!

Easy questions to ask in response to what they ask you are "how about you?" for instance - you get double the value from any conversation by reflecting it back on them too.

You can also try to complement them to help them relax if you are nervous, and they may do the same for you.

And remember to take nice deep breaths. If you do say something silly or wrong due to nerves just laugh through it - don't let it affect your confidence.
