I’m good at everything except approaching girls. Please, read my little story and help with particular one. I appreciate it.

Hello! I’m a handsome 22 years old Russian guy who lives in the USA and I never had any problems with girls that I already know. It was easy to move forward. But I still can’t force myself to approach and start the conversation (especially to ask the number and really show my interest) with girls that I find attractive even though I do NoFap (if you heard about it). I lost so many wonderful opportunities.

There’s one particular girl in my drawing class. She seats in front of me. Semester just started, so we had only 5 classes and with every one we smile and look at each other more and more. I feel like a teenager, because such natural and beautiful things happened to me(it seems like) very long time ago. I like the way she looks and talks, and it was a perfect situation and mood to approach her during the brake yesterday or after the class, but I didn’t do it. I just walk my way, and she walked her way in another direction. I was upset, so today I knew that she has a class before mine in the same room and I was going to say ‘hi’. She came out of the room with many people around her and just looked at me. It was very fast. Something just stops me. I feel not confident at all and think too much at that right and the most important second, when I just need to make a step.

I promised to myself and to my friend that if I don’t do it on Wednesday (our next class) I’ll give him $100 and enroll to dance room classes (which I don’t like). I think that it’s my last chance, because girls feel it and maybe she already thinks that I have no balls.

Also, I was thinking to smoke cannabis just a little bit before class. I do it very-very rarely and it helps me just to do things and not to think about unnecessary stuff. I will approach her and say ‘hi. I had many chances to talk to you, but I was to shy. My name is..’ Then I will say that she has the most beautiful smile I ever seen (because it is truth).

I’ll be grateful, if you share your thought about my situation. Thanks.
