Power Body Language is a way of standing and expressing
yourself that not only makes you more influential with other
people (in a way that’s totally authentic and honest), but it
makes you feel more confident too.
Confidence not only ensures you’ll actually ask the person out;
a University of California study found that students
consistently ranked people who spoke up often as more
intelligent than they really were. So confidence literally makes
people think you’re smart and a leader! All good traits to have
when you’re trying to put your best foot forward and impress
someone.
If you’re still nervous about asking someone out, consider that
we spend the majority of our lives worrying too much about
ourselves and don’t pay nearly as much attention to other
people’s perceived flaws.
In other words, whatever you’re self-conscious about? The
other person’s probably too busy feeling self-conscious to
notice. So cut yourself some slack. It’s likely the other person
will be flattered you asked them out (or impressed, because
the very idea makes them nervous too).
