Introduction
When Jerry first came in for counseling,
he was so shy that he couldn't even look at me and could only give one-line
answers to questions. Jerry was 21, but had made only one friend in his life.
That "friend" was actually someone who had used him. Jerry came to counseling
because he was tired of being so shy and wanted to be able to meet women and
eventually marry and have a family. He knew that his current path was not
leading him in the right direction, and he was very upset about it.

Jerry worked hard and persisted. I helped him with
conversational skills, assertiveness skills, and with building self-esteem and
confidence. He used individual counseling, an assertion training group, and
self-help books. He persistently applied what he was learning. He took risks and
often failed at first. Nevertheless, within three years he became president of a
fraternity, had all the dates he wanted, had lots of friends, and had changed
his major to one requiring a high level of interpersonal skills. More
importantly, he was much happier with himself and his life.

Jerry was not a typical case. Most people I see don't start at
such a low level and only want or need much less help. If you think you have a
long way to go, then it is helpful to know that others have gone even further.
Jerry was successful primarily because of his persistence and continual
conscious effort to improve his skills and confidence. It is also important to
get good information. The focus of this self-help manual is to help you improve
your conversational and intimacy skills. I have counseled with and taught these
skills to hundreds of people seeking ways of becoming more outgoing and
assertive, more confident, and more able to develop close relationships with
others-especially others in romantic situations. If you are also concerned about
fear of rejection and lack of self-confidence, read my short self-help manual,
