If you've been eyeing that pretty girl and don't know how to approach her yet, here's a little help.

Warm up to her: One of the best ways to get started is by talking. This helps you to strike an instant chord with her. Begin with polite informal conversations; you don't have to get into the nitty-gritty of everything.

Be your best self: Don't be fake. It will end up making you look foolish. She will instantly get the vibe that you are just trying to be someone you aren't.

Take initiatives: Take her out for dinner or a movie. Text/call her on weekends and ask her if she is free to accompany you.

Embrace your shyness: If you didn't know, women look out for men who are humble. Be rest assssured your woman will appreciate you for being modest. At times, being shy works wonders for your relationship.

Let go of previous disappointments: Move over past experiences and focus on how you can work things out. The more you brood over your past, the more difficult it will be for you to look forward to another one.
