PREACH, my sister!
I'll tell you shy guys what one of my close friends learned and told me. He had an attractive face. I'm usually turned off a little by blue eyes, but his are so soulful, and exotic in his tan Latin face. He also has beautiful, curly, light brown hair, and an easy smile. At the time, he was morbidly obese, but he had already lost over 100 pounds and was still going. (He is still overweight, but more average in build, just maybe 15-20 pounds of padding.) You could tell looking at him that he was gentle, even though he was 6'4", and if you spoke to him for 5 minutes he'd have you in tears laughing so hard. He's the funniest guy I know. These days he's got confidence to spare, but back in the day he was awful shy.
He used to work in a mall that was really high end, as a baker in a pastry shop. He worked with a guy who was barely 5' tall, and really unattractive physically. Nice guy, but butt ugly. Bad skin. Weird hair. Awkwardly put together features. No fashion sense. Still, dozens of stunningly beautiful women used to come to their shop daily just to day hello to him for a few minutes. They often didn't even buy anything, they just wanted to have a quick chat.
So, my friend asked him what his secret was. The ugly fella told him that he made it his business to talk to every beautiful woman he saw. Sometimes they'd stop and talk to him, sometimes he was ignored. If they spoke, he paid attention and remembered the discussion as best he could so he could build on that rapport. Consequently, he was adored by dozens of beautiful women, and lavished with attention.
Women are just people, no matter how you feel about them. Just talk.
