I’m a 24 M attending coaching classes every Sunday. Recently, a new girl joined the class, and we’ve spoken a couple of times during lunch (we go to the same place to eat).

The thing is, I’ve never really had female friends in real life, so I don’t know how to talk or behave naturally. When I try to talk, I feel anxious, my mind goes blank, and I don’t know what to say next.

I think I have a small crush on her, and that’s making me overthink everything more. I keep replaying situations in my head and worrying if I did something wrong or awkward.

I want to improve this:

• How do I talk normally with her without feeling anxious?
• What kind of things should I talk about in the beginning?
• How do I stop overthinking every small interaction?
• Should I tell her that I’m introverted or just keep it normal?

I don’t want to rush anything or make her uncomfortable. I just want to become more confident and be able to talk normally.

Any advice would really help. Thanks!
