I am a 26-year-old banking professional. I have grown extremely shy and inhabitant of approaching the opposite sex since my schooling was done in an all-boys school. When and if I do get a chance, I don’t seem to make the ideal impression. How could I boost confidence in my personality?
It can be quite challenging if you’ve not been exposed to interaction with the opposite sex or if you have severe inhibitions when it comes to starting a conversation with someone of the opposite sex. With the hectic fast paced professional lives that most of us lead, social skills hold a great deal of weight. Communicating confidently and without any qualms can win you a date effortlessly. Push through the door and take on the challenge with some personality-grooming tips:
If you can’t look into her eyes, you don’t deserve her trust either. Looking down is a big turn off. Know what you’re saying and don’t let anything else hinder the conversation.There is total power in the oratory skills one possesses. Clarity, great language and yes, sensible subject matter.If you can’t get yourself to start a conversation, practice a situation every now and then in front of a mirror. To enhance clarity in your language, read out loud from a book or a newspaper and record it. Listen to yourself and analyze what you sound like. You will know exactly what to work on, the pitch, pronunciations, pace etc. Make it a point to be well dressed and well groomed. You don’t have to look like you’ve walked off a ramp either. There is nothing more attractive than being presentable and identifying your own personal charm. Don’t forget to wear that strong, but not overpowering cologne before you step out. Don’t forget, women prefer men over boys. Body language can often convey more than your words. If you are slouching, nudging your hands and legs during a conversation or looking elsewhere, you are surely not going down the right road. Such body language simply indicates a lack of confidence and interest in the conversation. Make the right move. Once you know your conversation is going somewhere, don’t be tempted to overstep. During your first few meets, learn to read her signals and make your moves accordingly – don’t try anything physical, no matter how innocent, in your first few dates.Flash that super smile. Don’t be stuck up. You have to look approachable and friendly. A happy face always does the trick.
Above all, be yourself and your confidence will make you a lot more appealing. Don’t be in a rush to take any relationship to the next level. Get rid of any mental blocks you might have and try not to agonize over your every move and you should do just fine.
