Dating tips for shy woman

Dating can be an absolute nightmare for shy people. You want to meet the right person, but you're too scared to do anything about it.

Introductions--sticking out one's hand and looking another person in the eye--can be terrifying. The brain locks up as you scramble to think of something relevant to say. You fall apart as soon as you're asked what you do for a living. You stammer. The heat rises in your face and under your arms. You're suddenly incapable of forming a grammatical sentence. You think to yourself, "Why would anyone care about me? I'm really not that interesting!"

Fear not. Many shy people have succeeded in meeting new people and forming lasting, happy relationships. With a little practice, you can too. Here are some tips for taming your social terror:

How to Choose a Hairdresser

Among other things like breathing and eating, a person must definitely get his/her hair cut. It's non-negotiable and if you neglect to have it done, society will frown upon you. Because you will look like a mop. The abundance of hairdressers out there shows it's a lucrative business and people tend to use it more often than needed.

Choosing a hairdresser is like choosing a pair of shoes. The main question that arises is the object's destination, or purpose, if you will. What do you need it for? Last time I neglected to take this in consideration and I went to a recommended hairdresser salon I ended up being extremely sorry. The guy definitely knew his job, but the salon's orientation was similar to the catwalk: presentation, show, and fashion statements. Horror statements if you ask me, but let them have it their way. So were I someone who walks the street screaming: "trendy, trendy!" that salon would be the obvious choice. But so it happens that I'm not. A wanted a hairstyle that's comfortable to wear, looks socially acceptable and doesn't need a lot of arranging in order to look nice. Translation: your granny's mom would think it looks great. If you think that by telling that to the hairdresser you're going to be fine, you've got another thing coming. The fact is most hairdressers cannot adjust. They have a certain style that they've worked hard to achieve and consider themselves artists. Try telling an artist how he should paint and you get the picture. And I've stumbled upon a hairdresser who knew 'artsy coiffure'. Let alone the fact that I looked like Depeche Mode in their early years, that hairstyle needed a ton of gel and time to get it fixed each morning. And also a lot of care during the day so it doesn't get destroyed. I fought a very hard battle and still lost in the end, even though it was my own money we were battling on.
