Even if you embarrass yourself, even if you don't get the girl, you're a lot better off than you were before by just going for it.

As quoted in The Manual:

"Most males do not dare to approach women at all, often because they are afraid to look like an idiot. Their confidence is too low to handle the uncertainty of not being convinced that they know everything they ought to do and say, and they have such low regard for themselves. However, it is much better to take action and risk looking like an idiot with a chance of getting the girl than not to take action and clearly demonstrate that you are an idiot with no chance of getting the girl"

Edit: Just realised I fucked up the title. Ensuring brahs, ensuring.
