how to approach girls?

One word: C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E. get some. Otherwise you'll be stuck here forever. Just don't worry so much; girls can feel the worried "omg omg omg omg I dont know what to do with you" vibe and they view it as weak. Just pretend like she already likes you, and therefore you've got nothing to lose. Because the reality is you don't have anything to lose, the worst she'll do is say no, and then you move on to someone better for you.

Why would they talk bad about you. Always be polite and cheerful. You need to be happy always when around them. If you do not let them know you like them you will only ever be just a friend. They like to l\think men are interested in them even if they do not go out with you. They dress up hoping men notice them. So look at them and let them know they are pretty.Tell them how attractive they look. At first it is difficult. I could not either but have learnt to tell and admire them and they like that and say thank you. If you sit back it is to late your chance is gone.

I am around 27 I too don't have so in real life can say I never tried so as well. Because I do not find someone true yet who really take as much interest as I do. So, I am cold in this case currently but not despair. I am happy and in blessed state of my mind.

Value those who value you.

All you need is confidence and too look happy, TRy a dating site if you aren't able to approach girls.

It's all about self confidence and maintaining your own gravity I,e never loose your ground.

Be yourself and maintain a smile always.

Girls prefer a friend in every guy.once u succeed in it, u can very well proceed .

And NEVER EVER TRY PRETENDING.

Enjoy.
