Given my shy nature, I usually dont talk to girls much. But just to start, is it good to say hi or may be ask someone for a conversation?

She doesnt work with me but is a part of my team. Team I am calling for a group of 100 people.

But next thought I am getting is "Why?" Its just to talk and try to come out of my comfort zone or this girl phobia. Because I usually dont talk bcz what if they say "no"...

I dont know. Its not about I like her or so.. There are many. I will just go and ask for a conversation and will discuss about work. I dont know if thats how people make connections. But I will try this.

Are you comfortable talking to boys?.

Comparatively yes by a reasonably good margin.

Yes. I have the same problem as OP.

No one taught us to talk to women growing up so it's very awkward.

Now I just think "is this conversation absolutely necessary?" And the answer is almost always no.

You want to talk but don't know how to ? Remember the three question rule -

  1. Something professional - work related, company related, job related etc...
  2. General question - city related, climate, traffic, food, anything
  3. Personal question - not like how many boyfriends you have, but more generic like what's your native, what's your language,

Every answer she gives, the next comment should be either something about you on the related topic or a follow up question/comment on the related topic.

When all three questions end without much of a conversation , then interaction for the day is over. You start again the next day at whichever point she left..

So what? Its okay naa. I wont lose anything. I will accept that too. Atleast I wont have regret of not trying.

Obviously i m not talking from relationship etc pov. Its just to face my fear and have conversation. Thats it.

Don't do it. Personally as a woman, I am never looking for a man to date at workplace. Most women i believe just want to work in peace and go back home.

And even if you do try to talk, don't be pushy or desperate. Read her reaction. If she doesn't initiate to talk with you, then she wants you gone.

Yes, I am very clear. Its not to date. Its just to talk that too if I get to see some interest.

There is no question of being pushy. I will never ever be happy to force someone to talk to me. I will prefer to stay all alone rather than forcing.
