First of all, what laypeople call "shyness" is usually either introversion or social anxiety. Introverts are temperamentally disposed to prefer solitary or one-on-one activities and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Social anxiety, on the other hand, afflicts people who desperately WANT to socialize more but are stricken with nerves. The former are born with strong heritable factors that contribute to this temperament and usually cannot change it. The latter are responsive to cognitive-behavioral therapy and anti-anxiety medication. If you are one of the former, an introvert, medication isn't going to miraculously change who you are. Sure, you can learn to mask it, but you won't be able to keep the mask on permanently. If you've tricked someone into believing you're a vivacious, outgoing type when you're anything but, you risk disenchantment and rejection when the object of your affections discovers that you misrepresented yourself. If you're introverted, my best suggestion is to try online dating so that you have some time to warm up to this new person before you meet. Alternatively, you could join a group or organization unrelated to dating (try Meetup.com for thousands of groups catering to every interest) so that you can gradually get to know people in a low-pressure setting. Rather than force yourself to take on a false identity, if you let yourself be who you are, you will attract people who LIKE introverts. And, trust me, there are plenty of those people out there!

I've really missed out on the best years of my life in terms of meeting women and dating. If I could do it all over, I'd simply go for it with a "who cares" attitude. Life is too short.
