Ask girls what hobbies they like. Then say... I like .... too! Just forget about yourself and concentrate on the person you are talking to. Give girls compliments on their hairstyles, clothes, shoes. Say, I like your haircut. That's a nice....... Just keep on giving her compliments and take an interest in what she is saying and she will know that you like her. Maybe ask her if she can suggest a good movie you could go and see and when she suggests one say why don't we both go together. Or when talking about hobbies, say that you like that music too, and invite her to your place to listen to music.

It's because I have Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's is an Autism Spectrum Disorder which causes people, to have difficulty socializing amongst other things. People with Asperger's aren't anti-social, they often want to participate in what others are doing, but they seem to have been born without the ability to tell what most people are thinking/feeling so it makes carrying on a conversation quite difficult. I now see a Psychologist and he's helped be develop coping skills which makes socialization easier. long story short: if you don't want medication I suggest Psycho Therapy.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have trouble socializing too, but it’s not because of anxiety.
