Your first option: Get drunk. Your shy attitude will totally dissapear.
if you use alcohol in order to approach women, it will not help with your confidence in the long run: what are you going to do when you see a HB when there's no alcohol nearby? in order to be be confident when you approach women, you need go out and approach women, practice is the best way to get better. it isnt easy, but it is the only way to become truly confident when talking and approaching a stranger. As for what yourself, just be yourself, be comfortable with who you are and she will feel much more relaxed when you're talking to her

I never said it was a good option, that's why I didn't take time to developp on it. But still, I think it can help some people get over their anxiety. I'm not saying you should get shifaced. but you could drink 3-4 beers just to care less about some stuff...
Let me tell you what I think about the term "confidence". First of all, confidence is such a sketchy term since there's nothing really uniform about it. There are many types of confidence (Situational VS core). I do think that most of the confidence comes from personal experiences... It's sad, but true. I'm not sure anyone would have a high level of confidence if he got denied by 200 womens in a row... Unless he already banged 300. You see what I mean? Your confidence level will vary depending on your success.
That's basically the point of drinking... You'll get to approach more girls when you drink, and slowly improve your confidence level even if you don't drink because you know you already did it and it worked! Would you be more confident if you F-closed a model? Even if you we're drunk...? Of course! You'd be more confident even when you don't drink because you know what you already did.
Anyways, I think your main problem is approach anxiety. I could talk more about the subject if you want me too. Oh, sorry if this reply isnt 100% clear... I'm tired and english is not my native language!
Cya!
