5 simple rules to stop being an introvert

You may have a crush on someone but you aren't open or confident enough to give him signs that you find him impressive. We tell you how to be fast, witty and outgoing.

Think about your likes and dislikes: Notice your likes and dislikes. While going out, start noticing things like what kind of person catches your attention and what qualities would you look for in a person you'd like to date. This will help you know your choices and in-turn help you spot the person you'd like to date. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)
