Sometimes if you find yourself getting nervous, you can diffuse it by just acknowledging it, then the nerves will calm down almost immediately. Guys are not a bit off-put by a girl who gets a bit nervous in their presence. Just say something like, "Wow, I'm actually a little bit nervous talking to you". He'll probably say, "Yeah I have that effect on people".
Another tip: Have an escape plan in advance. Most people will come into a conversation with something to say to open, but they fail to think of what to say if it doesn't go according to plan or if they are having a hard time keeping the conversation flowing. Most girls use the "I have to check in with Emily, I'll talk to you later." If your brain shuts down and you start babbling you can abort without using your brain. Just knowing you have these "tricks" will help alleviate the nerves from getting out of control.
Usually, you need to be confident, but if you can't manage you need an ice breaker, just to help you be yourself, than it will be much easier, to talk to someone.
Believe me, some of us guys are just as nervous when talking to chicks. I like it when someone new comes up and just starts talking, it helps my self-confidence a lot. When it's all said and done, you won't be nervous the more times you talk to him and get to know him. Just remember guys like to keep things simple, so don't talk about deep stuff until you get to know the guy.

There is no substitue for experience! If you're worried about making a fool of yourself (which I'm sure you are), just remember that there are few things one can do to ruin their lives and that being embarrassed in front of the guy you always wanted will not ruin your life or even your chances with him. Mistakes are simply opportunities to learn.
Be confident and don't worry about what you are going to say to him. Just go for it,because you'll learn from your mistakes and you'll know what to do next time you talk to a guy, experiment!! Have fun and flirt! Don't worry about what he thinks.
You should practice on what you are going to say in a mirror or with your friends. This way, you communication skills will be so good, you won't even think about nervousness!!

You don't and you can't usually. If you don't get nervous then you probably don't have those strong feelings to that person. It's a good thing unless it comes to speaking which it will. Just relax and try to keep the conversation going on between the two of you.
Just have confidence in yourself, it might be a little awkward at first but you'll build confidence. I know my answer sound simple but it is just that simple.. Practice makes perfect.. It will just come naturally.. Good luck!
Every so often, I come across questions on guys wanting to know how they can get a shy girl to open up to them. Now it often happens to me where I'm put in that shy girl situation where a guy is...
First: Let's start with an example, say -some kind of "friend" of yours- comes up to you and asks to borrow ten dollars. You give it to them, and when you ask for it back - they give you every excuse...
