It can be intimidating to approach and ask someone new out on a date. There’s the fear of rejection, fear of looking stupid, fear of not having anything to say…..But wait, before you totally freak out, let me suggest that with practice and the right communication tools, you too can blast past your nervousness when approaching potential love-interests. This week’s entry comes from a guy who is trying to overcome his fear of asking women out….
Dear Dating Advice Girl,
I’m a really shy person and I’m wondering how you would suggest approaching women. When I talk to women I usually say “How’s it going” but then after that I don’t know what to talk about and my mind goes blank. Can you help me get the conversation flowing? MORE

Hello everyone. Firstly can I just say how excited I am to be writing a guest post for The Dating Advice Girl. You’d think in our line of work that we get to write about dating all the time. This simply isn’t true. In fact I wish I could write about it more often because it’s such a great subject and let’s face it we all have a few dating stories that we should tell.
I’m Jonathan (the one in the middle of the above photo), and I manage Singles Warehouse, the place to meet singles online. I was inspired by the strapline of Dating Advice Girl; helping singles get the most out of single life, without loosing themselves in the dating process. You see I think we all kind of change when we first start dating someone. If we’re honest we all do it. Allow me to explain.
To start there is nothing wrong with this…Do you remember that feeling when you first meet someone. Tummy turns. Time runs out fast. You want to text them. Talk to them. Every minute of every day you have them on your mind. That’s a change for starters.
We adjust our patterns. We go out during the week to meet the person we’ve only just met. Probably push yourself to the limits and stay out late, get up early for work and repeat the process the following day. After a few weeks of dating reality hits and you have to readjust back to ‘normal’ life but with a new addition.
I think my advice when you start dating is to take your time. I'm not going to waste my time telling you to only date once a week-you won't listen and why should you? Dating is fun. But The Dating Advice Girl's Advice is something so listen to....don't lose yourself. After all, they wan to date YOU!
Happy Dating,
Jonathan
