fear of rejection? or something else?

We all have it right? but how do i over come it?

I talk to heaps of nice girls at my college everyday but i never summon the will to ... ask them out or whatever... i do the flirting but thats as far as i go.
i dont know if its because i dont want to be rejected (i dont like looking silly or awkward infront of people, especially over this sort of stuff)
or is it because i dont actually want to take it further?

Hi, Riot!

How many dates would you say that you've had in the past, please?

Thanks!

well ive never actually been involved with women much over the past few years but its begining to ramp up this year... well i had a GF early this year but thats only because she made the move to me. I had a bit of a more casual half relationship about a month or so ago but that was out of pure luck when i told the girl that i thought she lovely one day and forgot about it untill a few days later she got my number off a friend and started to talk to me more...

ive got no problem generally talking to females, i just get the feeling that i could be missing out on oppertunities because they expect us males to make the moves, and sinse im not making such moves it may apear im not interested....

Hi again, Riot!

You know, you can't win unless you play the game!

I've been rejected many times by women. Do you know what you would say to a woman in order to ask her out?

Thanks!

A guy doesn't have to be an artist with what they say in order to ask a woman out. Some commonalities as far as what to converse about are good, though.

Is there one particular woman that you would want to ask out who you know is available, please?

Thanks!

actually there a couple milling around but i seem to chop and change who i want to progress with, depending on who i talk to the most in, say, a week.... of course thats not very rational thinking but if i like more then one person i assume that it shows me i dont actaully want something with someone after all

Hey, when I was in college, I tried to date as many women as I could. It was almost a game to me to see how many I could take out. I was very serious with a few of them, though. One of them was the woman who I eventually married.

I see no problem with dating multiple women. There are lots of "fish" in the "sea" and it might take a lot of "casting" to find just the right one for you!

Would you like to work on some proactive strategies and ways to ask one of the women out that you would like to date, please?

Thanks!
