Even though I've worked hard on my image and confidence, I still have a definite "shy guy aura" that girls pick up on. I'll be thinking that I'm doing everything right then they'll blindside me with a comment (one example: "you seem like you read books a lot when you were a kid"). I know the confidence thing has been done to death here, but even after more than a year of practice I still must be putting out shy vibes unconsciously. Is there any way to remedy this other than just to keep plugging away at it?
