I have always thought that all women were impossible to ask if they would like to go out, but i have never had the guts to actually ask or go up to a female in public and ask them if they would like to get a coffee. And every time i start to talk to a female they are with someone or they think that i am a nut case.
If any female out there want s to know more about me email me or send me a flower, i want to meet someone who does not judge a book buy it's cover so please save me from being single.
Sounds like you are a really shy guy. I don't think you sound like a nutcase. Maybe your nervousness gives the wrong impression. Online dating might be the thing for you so you can get to know them at a distance first before you actually meet them in person. That way maybe it wouldn't seem so intimidating for you?
Welcome to daters anonymous, lol. But seriously she gave you good advice. As a professional wall flower I can relate with what you said. I have read where some pretty girls never got any dates because there was so many shy guys. If a shy guy gets rejected even once it can affect his attitude about asking future women out. I remember the determination of this one guy who asked every girl out that he saw until one took him up on it. He was in shock but quickly recovered. Evidently, he met another wall flower that was wanting someone to ask her out. They stuck like glue to each other because rejection was sensitive to them both. Long live the wall flowers. The neat thing about being in a support group is that you meet people just like you. In A.A. we have a slogan that we can put up with anybody for a hour. Support people can hug like nobody's business.
Funny you said that BIGDAN. When I was a teenager and not so bad looking I never got asked out. After the fact I was told by a couple of guys that they always liked me but they were too intimidated to ask me out. It's not that I was scary or anything, I was always a friendly person. I guess they were shy.
I agree with Slider. Heck, what do you have to lose? If a woman says no, don't take it personally. She may have reasons that have nothing to do with you!
Back in the 70's, when free love was in bloom, I had a guy friend who hit on every girl he was attracted to, and not just for a cup of coffee.

The Mafia Handbook advises against speaking at all to people you have been contracted to "take out" ... was that the thread? Oh it's not ... The Football Defensive Tactics Handbook advises that a carefully timed, "Yo momma screamed mah name last night." will often distract you opponent for that instant neccesary to knock them into the next universe .... That's not the thread either??
Oh ... "Take out" as in "wine dine and make whooppee!" How about, "Ec ec ec excuse me ... woo woo woo would you l l l like to g g g g go out to d d d d dinner to to to to n n n n NITE!" Of course the reply will probably be, "I'm sorry but while I was waiting for your invitation I had a couple of birthdays and I'm now too old for you." So try and think of them as real ugly and with no friends (This is sort of a variation on the "Public Speaking nerves - Think of your audience with no clothes on.") and ask them where they would like to go on a date. This is gender non specific ... ie women asking me out can think of me as fat and balding ... Oh I am ... Oh well.
