A little backstory: after a failed relationship a few years back where I got lied to for a few months then dumped, I started finding talking to girls a real challenge. I was having difficulties even before but I always managed to keep them under control in the end. Since the moment that relationship ended I talked to a few girls, even some “out of my league” but whenever I tried taking it to the next step I either got ghosted or friend zoned. These things lead to the current situation in which I am overthinking even saying “hi” to any girl I like. The most recent situation is with a girl who works at a store down the road. I really like her, even changed a few words once but, whenever she says “hey” I forget how to speak. I want to ask her out but I’m afraid that if she has a boyfriend or even if she just says no, I will not be able to go to that store again, thinking she will laugh at me asking her out, or that my friends will find out that I tried and they will laugh at me. I had quite a few relationship until that las one, with girls that were quite out of my league and yet I still seem to lack the self confidence needed to engage a girl I like. I tried online dating but no success either. I tried talking to girls I don’t like other than as friends and everything is perfect. Something happens only when I like the girl, that renders me unable to speak to her. Any advice is welcome. Sorry for miss spelling, English is not my native language. Also, my first post, I hope I am respecting all the rules.
