Is it normal for an 18 year old guy to have never dated a single girl?

"Will you go out with me?"

That's a question that I'm absolutely terrified of asking a girl. I've made attempts at trying to see if anyone would want to go out with me, but I've always failed miserably. I wind up saying things like "it's OK, I know you're not interested in me." Whenever I'm attracted to a girl, I always feel like no matter what I say or do, I will never have a chance with her.

    Ease yourself into it. When you find yourself talking to a girl that you are at least semi-comfortable around ask her out in a round about way. For example, in the middle of conversation say something like "hey i am hungry, lets go grab something to eat". She won't know what your exact motive is and you won't have to deal with the stress of flat out asking her out.

    Of course it's normal to be really nervous about asking, but you just have to put up with that and do it. I remember the first time I was asked out he started out talking about how much of an awkward and shy person he was and he kept stopping and starting but I didn't mind because I loved him regardless. I think it's cute when a guy gets really nervous about asking me out, it shows he actually cares about my response. You need to just do it, sometimes you might get rejected but at least you tried. And when she does say yes it'll be worth it.

    If it helps I am a 19 year old girl who has never had a boyfriend. When I was young my mom made me wait until I was 16, but part of the reason I listened is because of the fear. As I got older I realized how much easier it is. All of my friends would come to me crying about how they were with the wrong guy/girl and it didn't work out. If you wait until you find the right person you can skip all of the unnecessary heartbreak. But you still have to be open and have enough courage to ask the girl out when you meet her.:D

    I agree with the first post. Normal to be nervous man. Just be confident, but you can still show her ur a bit nervous. Lets her know ur not a total self-loving tool. Just go for it. Worst that can happen: she says no. Then you both move on. Good luck man.

    No, it isn't. Most guys got laid years ago. Step up your game before it's too late and you become FOREVER ALONE!

        I signed up to answer the question, "What one thing do you need to be happy?" with the answer "If only I had a brain!" I thought it was pretty appropriate. Fun fact: the o is actually a zero.

    Yes it's normal..i found many problem but i was a little younger than you..and never think you have no chance with a girl..i have a girlfriend that i said on day that its impossible to be with her..and if you're finding problem to ask that question try to change it..try for example "do you like to be with me alone?" Or "do you mind to have romantic moment together?" ..chat will be easier than face to face

    Just ask a girl out. If you're alone with a girl you like and if you get along well just ask her if she wants to grab a coffee or something in the weekend. If you're never alone with her just send her a text, if she reacts negatively just act like it's not a big deal. If you do this once it will be much easier if you ask someone out again.

    Just do it casually, if the date was a disaster you can always say it was just grabbing a drink or having lunch as friends.
