Hey Seddit,

I'm 6'3", 220 lbs, athletic build.

I cannot get past the awkward small talk stage, nor can I really function in a large group. There are a few girls that I know around campus that say hi to me but it seems as though they're just trying to be nice and I don't want to get friendzoned, so I keep my distance. Which obviously hasn't gotten me anywhere.

It doesn't help that I just recently got out of a long term relationship, so I do not have any idea how to ask a girl for her number anymore.

Anytime I see a girl looking at me I get too nervous and shy and walk away or avoid eye contact.

Please help?
