I used to be shy about meeting men, then I decided I was a decent sort and there was no pointing in me continuing to hide it. I figured out I only had to stop being shy for a few minutes at a time and just be friendly to a stranger.

Bottom line: If you ask a man about himself, he will probably politely ask you about the same. The only exception to this is if he gets the feeling that you are hitting on him, especially if he is handsome and this happens all the time to him.
If that happens, then just try to make eye contact and smile, as if you recognize a familiar face. Each day, try to become a little friendlier. Don't try to do it all in one day.
