Hey, i just thought could use some feedback from here.

See, i'm a shy guy since ever (20M) was bullied in HS, never had girlfriend or even had my first kiss (writing this makes me cringe a little), nevertheless ill be moving to another country soon, some years now i started reading self-improvement books and dating advice and i used the fact that didn't matter how harsh the rejection or how good the girl response because i was not going to see them probably never again in a few months.

You can thing i would have approached a lot by now, but no, just 2 times, i'm working on it the interactions went like this:

1) A girl that works in the same mall as me.

Well, i meet her when needed to buy something for the office i work on, she seemed very cute and outgoing, i let a couple months pass because.... well my resolution that nothing what happened mattered wasn't passed by my mind council by now.

Anyways, i started thinking, about asking her out, and even went some times to ask her but her boss was here and 1) i don't think i have the nerve to ask someone in front of other people yet, i admit that and 2) i didn't wanted to get her in trouble, so as this happened i started thinking a was really stupid i should have asked her when she was alone then (when you see the opportunity you should seize it), this went on, i think i passed the stores where she worked 7 times or so but her boss always was there, until...

The day i asked her out i passed and saw she was alone, i got surprised, every time a walked there a got a rush since i had made the decision to ask her out, and this time i really got scared but went there anyway and and at first i asked about an item in the shop, but then talked about the work and we moving other country (she is also moving next year to a country in europe) but guess what, i couldn't do it, i left and went to my office thinking i was such a dork, i had no other opportunity since it would be weird to come back to ask her out (or so i thought) but then my savior came.

I was in the office beating myself when the man that has a shop i front of hers went in to ask something, i said to myself: hey, if you let this pass i will never forgive you, so when he left i followed him and started asking him questions about the stuff he repaired there, in the end i asked if he sold clock batteries and since we were getting there he said: "no, but the girl in front has them", we both went in and checked the batteries i thanked him (not for the reasons he thought) and he left from there it went more or less like this:

Girl: Hey, need something?

Me: Oh, no just was talking with Mr. C of the front store

Girl: Oh, ok

Me: Hey... look i think you´re cute

Girl: *smiles and wrinkles the nose a bit*

Me: Do you are free this weekend to chat a while?

Girl: Hmm just sunday i have another work, but yes we can see the sunday to...chat

Me: Ok, take my number and hit me up *writes number in a paper and gives it to her*

Girl: Sure, im charging my phone then it's done i'll write you

Me: Ok, take care ;)

This happened some days ago and she doesn't has written yet, i lost hope but at least i will stop thinking the "What if", about the other girl

2) A girl that was in cloth shop in another mall.

(I probably got as tired of writing as you of reading so will make this shorter than the other)

I needed to buy a SIM card so went to the mall where they sold them, due to corona the shop just lets enter one person at the time there was a queue to get in, in front, there was a shop, well it was a stand more than a shop, and saw this girl eyeing me (or so i thought) so i went to talk, it was a short one first, i asked about the price of something, and then poked her about if she got bored being there all day (she really looked bored) and then asked her name we didn't talked much then i went back to the queue, then i got my turn to get in, started doing the paperwork for the SIM and noticed that when i was i the queue outside (even before talking to her) she avoided looking in the general way i was (she was looking straight the other way) i assumed it was bc she liked me, the alternative was that she thought i was a creep or something ;_), although it didn't seemed to me, so when i got out she looked me, i said:

Me: Well im done

Girl: :)

Me: Hey, do you have a bf?

Girl: *laughs* no, why

Me: I think you´re cute, do you are free the saturday?

Girl: I don't really know when will be my free day

Me: Ok *handed her the paper the guy from the store gave me with the number of the SIM i got*, hit me up with that number and we can chat ;) *walks away with ego boosted*

That it now i'm trying to read books about comedy and banter to make those kind of interactions a bit ...¿smoother? idk just to make the girl i talk to and myself more comfortable.

Also i think i will start asking for numbers instead of giving mine since either of them has written me yikes.

Anyway if you have any advice about this or anything else please tell me ;)
