You make it seem so easy.
For a person like me, being outgoing and not shy would be very difficult.

You just need to find someone that you can talk out loud to and not be quiet and boring near.
Its called love, man. It makes you do crazy stuff you will probably regret the next day.

I agree completely with Fabio's article.

Those "rules" don't apply to everyone and every situation, though. You can be shy and unnoticed and still find that perfect person.

In a typical high school setting, that situation is very unlikely.

It a high school setting, yes. But it also depends on who you're trying to get... Your rules only apply if you're going for the popular people. If both you and the other person are both shy and not very outgoing, you probably won't have much competition, so it's much more likely to work out. Of course, one of you will have to break the shyness if you want to start anything, but that doesn't mean you have to completely change your personality.

I'm glad that I met my boyfriend over Animal Crossing, lol. I didn't have to go through a lot of the drama of high school. >_>

I disagree. I don't believe (aside from shyness, I guess) anything I mentioned included changing your personality. I also don't think that coming out of your shell and being fun, social, and outgoing only caters to 'popular' people.

Some people would rather keep to themselves and not socialize much than be outgoing like that. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, because it certainly isn't, but some people don't want to live like that and shouldn't have to change. Neither me nor Andrew like to socialize much. We're both completely content just being with each other and playing video games. Socializing just isn't for us, and the same is true for other people. If you really want to find the perfect person for you, you shouldn't try to change any part of you, because you want a person who will love you for who you are, not for who you're not.

Since when does being confident change your personality?

I wholeheartedly agree with that article.

And you guys are missing one of his points. I do believe he said "...be yourself..."? Whether it be shy, outgoing, etc. Like he said though, 9 times out of 10, the outgoing person will more likely get the girl (or guy in a girl's case).

You also have to be confident no matter who you are, Tye. Be confident in being shy. If you're not confident in who you are, then you really don't know who you are? You don't have a set personality then. Also, Like it as said, you need human interaction. Just talking to one person your whole life and playing video games with each other is not exactly a healthy lifestyles. That's like me sitting in my house all year and occasionally talking to my sister, or dad, or mom. It's not healthy. Humans were made to interact with each other. If they weren't, there would probably only be need for one person on earth.

I'm shy and i'm not outgoing, but I am actually quite confident in myself.

You people, with your primitive notions of 'shame'....

Great article, Fabio, its 100% right, if you want someone to go out wiht you, you go over and just turn on the charm, unless theyre complete snobs, or youre just not their type, you'll definately make progress
