Little backstory, I've never had much issue with girls, nor have I been very successful, just been in a couple relationships and fooled around at a couple of parties.

I'm now 5 months out of a relationship and have found myself not going to parties anymore (uni finished) and hence having absolutely no clue how to approach girls, let alone pick up girls.

I'm not ugly and by no means attractive, just about above average. I get told almost on a daily basis at work by customers that I'm cute/look good. I work out every now and then and keep a healthy diet and groom myself appropriately.

I should say I'm 19 so I know I've got plenty of time and that's why I want to learn how to do this. My issue everytime is that I'm afraid I'll come off as creepy or my insecurities will show, or even just rejection. I'm super afraid of rejection and going from one girl to another and people thinking I'm "one of those creepy guys" who tries to get with every living thing.

Tinder doesn't work for me, I personally don't like it, I enjoy face to face 'get to know each other' situations more.

I figured that since I work at a bar late nights there might be a possibility to try something there when there's a customer at the bar or I'm going round picking up dirty glasses/plates and I could strike a conversation, which I'm not bad at doing, hence why I'm a barman. What I'm also bad at is escalating the conversation, I always fall short because of the same fear of rejection or seeming creepy.

Any help for a fellow redditor?
