Hi Heather,

Welcome to the group. How are you? I'm Ian and I understand being shy, I
find it hard to talk to anyone confrontational. Do you know what I mean? Do
you see what I've just done? We have something in common, we have a
connection. :o)

This is much more effective in person, try it. Go to a coffee shop and say
you like something specific about the way someone looks or say whatever
their reading looks interesting. Then ask if you can join them. I'm 25 but
if a 15 year old girl wanted to talk to me I would say yes, it's only
talking after all. Perhaps we would become friends.

Try reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie
(ISBN: 0091856655) and "Confidence in Just Seven Days" by Ros Taylor (ISBN:
0749307846). Enter the ISBN number or title at Amazon and it should bring up
details.

I hope this helps.
Take care,

Ian.
