I’m always so nervous when I approach women. Even the more I do it it’s barely getting better. I have plenty of women friends, I’m very outgoing and talk to strangers all the time, but when there are romantic implications I just get nervous and shaky. >>>

Any advice? How bad is it actually if I come off nervous anyways?

You might be putting a bit too much of your self worth/pride in the act of asking a girl out. The key is to remember the world will continue to spin and you will be the same man you were before no matter her answer.

I included that because it seems like a lot of people will say stuff like “just talk to women we’re just people like everyone else”, but that’s just not my problem

You wanna know what’s crazy it’ll haunt me if I don’t ask but I’ll feel so much better getting rejected then not knowing

Yeah I usually feel alright after, but I still get nervous and it’s hard to do it

I don't know if that will ever fully go away, at the end of the day you are asking for a connection and I think that will always be a little nerve wracking

Fair I guess. I wish at least I could appear more confident when doing it

As a girl sometimes a nervous guy is cute

I feel like confidence would be better though right? I’m not worried about coming off as weird though, people have always been respectful

Confidence is good but I would rather a nervous guy ask me out than a cocky guy ask me out
