Is it normal for socially awkward people having relationship problems?

I'm an eighteen year old guy and a junior in high school. I've been at the current school for a couple of years but haven't really established a foothold yet, mainly because I got held back and didn't know anyone. Now I'm trying to make friends with the people I sit with at lunch, which technically I am friends, but they don't talk to me directly much and ignore me a lot (on accident mostly though). There is one girl at our table I'm really attracted to. The problem is every time I try and talk to her (or really any girl I don't know terrifically), I f- up and end up just asking how she's been and thats it. I'm not the most confident person and I'm pretty awkward. I play a lot of video games, which is probably why I am the way I am. I've cut back on them, but I never get anywhere and I can't seem to find out how to cross my mental threshold of communication. I'm a really nice guy all the time, like holding doors and complimenting girls' features on certain days (hair, cool shirt, etc.) I'm polite too and I look way older than I actually am. And my last name is Faulkenberry, which sometimes gets negative attention towards me. Is there any way I can approach my problem?, because my time is running out, and I don't want to miss my chance for the zillionth time because I was shell shocked from just being around her or talking to her. I care for this girl. So any feedback or thoughts would be very helpful.

    Find out what interests you share, and talk about that. You have to have some things in common.

    Also, why the hell did you reveal your last name? There's no reason for that. Don't do that shit; this is the internet.

      Thanks. And good point. I was half awake, and by that I don't know why i put my last name.

      Onto my response for you, I try to talk with her, but a lot of the time, my lunch group seems to disregard me whenever I talk, either because I have a quiet voice or because they're in a conversation already and don't feel like re-explaining. I don't know them all real well, and they talk about stuff I don't know about or can relate to.
