You guys and ladies have helped me out immensely in the past, so I’m hoping I can get some help with a problem I noticed I’ve been having.

I have this problem that I get weird after expressing interest in the girl. Once we both have said ya I’d like to go on dates with you, I get weird. They will ask, why are you acting so weird? I feel like it has to do with how I hold myself back from flirting as I am afraid to offend her. I also have a really tough time having a conversation with said girl after I express my feelings, it’s like out of know where I don’t know what to say? Or I say some really weird shit or I try to be extra funny, so nothing like myself. Now when it’s with a girl who I’m not interested in I can be my totally honest self.

It’s like in my mind I’m really scared of saying something dumb or stupid so I halt all flirting/teasing and just become a really bland person, who doesn’t know what to say. I turn into someone I don’t even want to talk to. I lost a potential relationship due to this, and I want to fix it so I don’t loose another one.

Any of you guys had similar experiences? Or tips which I can use to fix this problem? Thanks!
