How exactly do you talk to girls, if you are a little scared?

Here's a thought. If you are nervous, find a place where like minded girls will be. Since you are a Dr. Who fan go to a comiccon and try this as a starter at the Dr. Who booth - "So which Doctor is your favourite?" As long as you are not grabbing the girl in some weird way, she will talk to you! Once you see how easy it is to talk to girls who already like something you like, you can branch out. As a female, I've noticed that at conventions of this type, the majority of girls are around the Firefly booth so watch some episodes and try that area!

Don't be scared... we don't bite. Try to just think of the girl you want to talk to as a friend. Just ask her questions you would ask your male friends. Take things slow and be yourself.

That's ok, girls are pretty scared to talk to guys too. The best thing you can do is to take a deep breath and think of something to say to her first, such as how nice she looks today, or what she did over the weekend, etc. Most girls will carry on the conversation from there and you won't have to worry about it so much.
When I get nervous about talking to a guy I like, I try these things:
1) find out a little about something he likes, and learn enough about it to talk about it with him.
2) I approach him casually or unoticeably and say hi and ask him about whatever it is that interests him.
3) Talk casually, but act interested and attentive.
4) don't talk for too long, so the conversation doesn't die out and get awkward.

You could apply these tips to girls and try it out next time. Good luck!

It's not magic science. In fact, if your social already, chances are your secretly a natural when it comes to talking to women. The hard part is converting your personality and confidence that you have when your talking to a friend to a potential mate. Remember that it doesn't take a particular subject or a particular way. The key point is to be yourself. But HOW you express yourself is a different thing altogether.

By thinking initially, you are only going to psych yourself out.
You obviously have a girl in mind that you like. We have all been there and seldom does it ever work out when we try to be someone we are not. You know your shy, I know I am shy. Be yourself and you will have a greater success rate.

Walk in the room, take a deep breath (without thinking about anything) then walk over to her and be like "Hi, I'm -insertname- and your name is?" |OR| "Hey -theirname- how are you?" - DO NOT get nervous. Play it by ear at this point.

Remind yourself not to be too weird and to keep the conversation mature (Talking about an ex-girlfriend wouldn't be wise).

Then just let it flow, if you wanna say "Hey wanna check out my pokemon cards"; personally I would resist the urge until I knew she liked pokemon (actually I don't even play it) but you get the point. Keep some things hidden until you know her, and always be yourself. There is no need to give her everything about you on the first day.


P.s. rejection isn't half as bad as feeling regret for not approaching this girl.

Summary:
Breathe, don't worry, approach, be outgoing, <-- the list continues but these all seem like the same thing... They aim to build confidence.
