3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how toapproach thesituation with confidence:

? Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there. Explain to himthat asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate, as it will show her howserious be is. However, if he thinks that is too daring, then suggest sending her a textmessage or calling her on the phone.

? Encourage the guy to be assertive and not beat around the bush. Confidence is admirable,and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man with confidence. If he is asking thegirl in person, he should speak as though he knew she would say yes. Tell him not tohesitate and to get straight to the point.

? Suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a date. If heis unsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this is a great opportunityfor him to learn more about her and show her that be cares about her.

ofpsychologicalproblems. We allknow what it's like to feel overwhelmed by fear, but fear, as it turns out, is afundamental part ofour lives, and has some positive effects on our lives:

Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get

ready forthe future. It isn't there to stop us; it's there to tell us that we are about to grow. ?

Fear pushes us beyond our limits. Fear motivates us. It drives us to find newresourcesand options within ourselves. Fear compels us to make extra efforts to succeed andachieve what we desire. ?

Fear is necessary in developing our courage. We can't experience courage without the presence of fear. They go hand in hand. They need one another in order toexist---like darkness and light, or black and white.
