Hey everyone, this is my first post on Reddit, and I’m a bit lost for words. I’m a 19-year-old guy who’s never been in a relationship. Whenever I see a girl I find attractive, I get all nervous and scared that she might reject me or think I’m creepy, so I never make the first move. Even if I do manage to talk to her, I have no idea what to say or do. I keep thinking things like, ‘I’m not good enough for her,’ ‘she’s probably in a relationship,’ ‘she won’t fall for me,’ ‘I’m not good-looking enough,’ and on and on.

I have a lot of female friends, and I can talk to them easily, but when I’m talking to my crush, I just can’t seem to find the right words.

Sometimes, I think I might be doing something wrong, and I wonder what I can do to improve my situation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
