I think youre not ever going to be truly successful
it's okaywe all make mistakes, these kinds of things are hard, just use this as a learning experience and make sure to be confident and make a move next timein fact, you can still go back and talk to her, im sure she wouldnt mind :)
>>78257151not much, but you need to face your fears, anon. Girls aren't that scary. If you meet her again, just say you got a call and had to leave due to a family/work issue and give her a compliment or something
it's over for youchad would have been balls deep within the hour
>>78257151She was probably fucking with you. That's what I would be telling myself at least.
>>78257151Don't worry anon. She had a boyfriend anyway
>>78257151Best advice I'd give you when dealing with anxiety of fumbling, is just let it be, let your awkwardness and emotions flow. when you feel like you have done something awkward or embarrassing, or have messed up, own up to it, and try again, don't run away. just keep trying as long as you don't get a clear rejection signal. even if you get rejected, it doesn't mean it's over, if you're physically attractive, you don't have to worry about not having the confidence to back it up, just keep the idea that you will also have opportunities to try again in your mind.
>>78257151Why are you staring down a girl on a stage performing? You creepo
>>78257151Take some propranolol you fag. It will calm you down.
