I've never had a problem getting any girl I went after. Being timid does not mean you don't have confidence, it means you don't show confidence. Too much confidence comes off as cocky, and alot of women don't like that. If you display the right balance between timid and confident, it works. But what do I know, it's not like I have 9 sisters and dozens of female friends and cousins I'm close to, giving me an insight into how women think.
