Is it better for a shy girl to meet guys online?

yes I think you are right because if you are shy then you have to chat online that's the right way.
so please can you talk to me in orkut?send me the reply please

It might be an ok start, but it's not always the best way.

I would recommend it along with some other things in order to help you get used to guys. But one day, in order to have a decent loving relationship with a man in real life, you're going to have to learn to talk with them in person as well.

Being shy can only get you so far in life. You eventually will have to get rid of at least some your shyness, and the earlier you start, the better.

I used to be terribly shy. I could barely sit next to a girl, and could not talk to them at all. It's gotten better, but even after all these years, it's not easy. So, not to scare you, but you're going to have to work at it. Like with a lot of things, it takes practice, but you'll be much better, and much more prepared the sooner you start.

My other suggestion is to take it slow, but not too slow; work on a little step until your more comfortable, and then go to another little step. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

There are some other ideas, like going to more social events, taking various classes, or belonging to a "speech" group like Toastmasters.

For me, I'm still pretty shy. And oddly enough, I am a spectacular performer. I'm much better on stage than off. I'm not sure why. If anything, taking an acting class or being on stage might teach you some skills once you get used to it; even IF you don't become a complete natural at performing.

See, online, you might have a better grasp of learning to talk with different guys from different cultures more easily. So it's definitely a leg up on learning to improve communication skills, but like I said, one day, you're going to have to loosen that grip on the security blanket.

Best of luck to you, and keep plugging away at it. It will happen more and more for you if you keep at it.

If you're shy with guys, then the good thing about talking online, is that you get to explore the male psyche. The more you chat with these guys online, the more you will learn about how they think, and the easier it will make it for you to start talking to them offline. Definitely, talking online and offline are very different, but at least you start getting an idea of how guys think. Now, you must remember that online, guys tend to be more outspoken about their feelings, where as in real life, they will be a bit more guarded about how they feel. So what you're doing is not annoying or dumb, is actually very smart. Good luck!

I don't think it's annoying or dumb. We can talk if you want. That's how I met my old girlfriend.

I've always wondered where that line is, with the online vs offline thing. It's much easier for me to talk to someone online, because I can think a bit more about what I'm saying and I don't just blurt out things. But at the same time, some offline interaction is important, because it's easy to pretend to be someone you're not in an online setting. That's dangerous both ways - he may be turned off by shyness offline or get the wrong impression from something that didn't translate well over the internet (sarcasm gets lots a LOT), and he may be someone that's not even close to how he is presenting himself (the 50 year old creepy guy posing as a 20 year old).
