Im a fairly shy guy always have been and am trying to break away for that. I have a somewhat easier experience when I'm in my element or drunk and things seem to flow naturally. Girls have tend to say I'm good looking and sometimes i do catch girls staring at me. However i do not know what to say or how to initiate conversation with out making the encounter awkward. People alway recommend just going out there but what next; if it doesn't come naturally what am I suppose to do. What are some tips to help me overcome this and things to say?

Im a college student and 21.
