So I've been talking to this girl casually but I want to ask her out. Yesterday I made small talk with her and I kept wanting to say the words "do you want to go out with me" but my mouth was stuck. I was able to talk about other irrelevant stuff but I could used my mouth to say the words I really wanted too.

My heart started pounding, my hands were shaking. I just couldn't do it. I have anxiety and even though I have gotten through it for the most part, certain situations trigger mini panic attacks.

How do I get over this? I want to do it but I feel like if she says no I will want to jump in a hole and die. I feel like I'll look like a fool for even asking like how did this loser have the gall to ask me out.

Any advice?

I've only asked people out via text before never in person so I have little experience with direct rejection. Well I've been rejected a few times face to face when I did daygame but that was 3 years ago and because I would never see the girls again it didn't really matter.
