For some preface, I'm 17 and a senior in high school.

For the past few months, I've had a cycle occurring day in and day out and it's frustrating me to no end.

I've had a crush on this one girl for a long time. However, I never really had a way of talking to her (literally, no classes, no friends, never saw her in the halls, nothing). Until this year. Her best friend is in one of my classes and after this class, they walk together to their cars. And, they go to the same gym, at the same time as me. Plenty of chances and opportunities to talk to her, right?

Well, here's my issue. I spend the day working up my courage to that moment after class and just end up pussying out. And then, I then I tell myself that I'll talk to her at the gym. Doesn't happen either. Either she isn't available (she does a completely different routine than me so she goes to a different part of the gym) or I pussy out when she's on the treadmill (my chance). Then, I go home pissed off telling myself I'll talk to her the next day.

I did work up the courage a couple of times actually, over a month ago. I talked to her and her friend a few times, added her friend on Snapchat, snapped her over the weekend and didn't do anything that following week. So, I've made mistakes.

I started reading about TRP a few months ago and it's all great material, but I just can't find the kick in the ass I need to talk to her in the moment. I know TRP is about other things like lifting (which I now do), approaching girls in public (occasionally I do), and becoming alpha male or whatever, but this is something I really need help with.

Please help me break the cycle and give me whatever advice you can about approaching this girl. Anything helps.

Thanks so much.
