Is there anything i could do to overcome shyness when asking out or even talking to girls?

the reason im asking is because there is this girl i have very stong feelings for that i would like to ask out but when i even try to start a sentence involveing dateing with her my words come out as jibbrish and i feel like i want to go bang my head aginst a wall:headbonk:

Well you can't really eliminate shyness unless you're a really confident person.
My suggestion is that you should just ask. I know it's easier said than done, but you have to just deal with it.
Go up to the girl and create conversation. Just say "Hey", "How was your day" etc. After a while it shouldn't be hard to talk to her anymore. Then ask her out when you feel better talking to her.

The best way to learn to be confident while talking to girls is to talk to girls. Choose a starting point you're comfortable with - if that means you have to start by muttering "Hi" and walking away before they can say anything back, then start with that. When you become confident with that, make it just a little bit harder for yourself the next time. Keep setting small goals for yourself, and you'll gradually get better.

By the way - most guys, including very confident ones, feel like absolute idiots when they're asking girls out. It's natural to be extremely self-concious in that moment because you feel like you have to be at your very best. Even the most minor, insignificant error seems huge and a lot of guys severely underestimate how good they did. The thing is, the vast majority of the time the girl's response is positive. "Positive" doesn't necessarily mean she'll say "yes", but any girl worth asking won't say "no" without good reason and either way they'll be flattered that you're interested in them. In fact, I'm actually more flattered than usual when a guy I know is shy asks me out because I know how hard it was for him to do it.

if you can't physically talk to her, then just write her a letter or note or something

the only real way to get over it though is to conquer your fears

shyness is also one of my biggest problem.

Think of it this way man, if you're too shy to ask her out, then how do you expect to be able to talk to her when you ARE going out?

You just gotta do it man... There's really no way to "get over shyness." It just has to be done... All I can say is just take it slow... Get to know her slowly and you will be more comfortable talking to her...

Ooh i good at this. Im half-girl(im bi) so i know da girl mind.
Be funny. Like this one never fails:
You: Hey______hows it going?
Girl: Im good. You?
You: JUST FANTASTIUBLOUSIC.

Basically a good way to get over shyness is with humor. Its works great just when they say how are u u say something like funny. Basic and simple and u can even practice before cuz it just 2 lines to remeber.
