how can i get over shyness to ask out a girl?

Answer 1

Consider a swimming pool. Full of cold water.
If you inch in slowly, chances are you will back out.
So instead, you take a deep breath, and just dive in the deep end.

YES It Hurts. But- it's over real fast.

Now, take a deep breath, brace yourself, and- ask her out !
No matter what she says, Yes or No, it's done.

What to do if she says yes? Now that's a whole new question... good luck.
