Insufficient

I have never had a girlfriend or even asked a girl out for that matter, as I have never been able to muster up enough courage to do so.

I can talk to girls fine, as in having a conversation, but I cannot find it within me to make the move and ask them out.

Everytime I think about asking a girl I like out only one thought comes to mind, she will say no. I think to myself that their is abdsolutely no reason she would say yes. I wonder why she would possibly say yes to me when this other guy is better. I may be smart but so what, he's also smart but is also athletic and more attractive than I am. I feel as if I might as well save myself the shame that will come with the what I feel to be the inevitable answer of no.

Any advice?

Just. Do. It. Just go up to some girl, and be like, damn I like you, go out with me?

And then wait for the inevitable no? As well as giving bullies another reason to taunt me?

Well, I had an experience tonight that might inspire you. Long story short, a boy who I chased and chased for years before I gave up, messaged me and told me he loved me and it's too late because I hate him now. So, you don't want to do something like that.

As I said in my post. I don't believe that any female is "chasing" after me. I don't believe that I stand a chance in receiving yes as an answer.

I feel your pain. No girls chase me, and the only girl I've ever had a shot at left me after 1 date for a guy who she had never even talked to. I say to just wait till you fall in love. When you really, really like that one girl, you'll chase her no matter what, even if it means that possible "no". There should be a forum section for just singles so we can all mope about together!

I'll go out with you! "Although I am a dude and totally straight..." he lied. Don't you guys grumble about double posting!

As Lou said, just do it. If you're good enough friends with her, she won't care. If you're not though, you've got nothing to lose. The worst they can do is say no. They're not going to treat you much differently if they say no. Something that might make it easier to assure that (this is just a theory) is to make sure when you ask her out, don't be too emotional about it. If you do, you sound like you have strong feelings (which may or may not be true) that if she says no, she'll crush and feel weird around you.

I hope that made sense, I'm pretty tired.
