There’s this girl I really like, and I dream of asking her out. Maybe one day I’ll work up the courage to approach her. Has anyone been in this situation? How did you handle it?
Just go up and ask her. For some reason, people are so afraid of hearing "no." Personally, I think it’s much better to hear "no" than to suffer from indecision and never do anything about it.
And if it doesn’t work out, there’s always online dating. It’s honestly a great option, really. If you’ve never tried online dating, you’re missing out. I’m a pretty shy person, but an online hookup website solved almost all my shyness issues and helped me meet new people. I understand you’re particularly interested in meeting this girl, but if not—well, you know where to go.
