Is it normal that i don't have the guts to ask a girl out?

It's completely normal to be afraid to ask a girl out, but the only way to get over the fear is to ask a girl out. There is no quick or easy fix to stop being afraid of something you need to face your fears and your gonna continue to have some anxiety until you do. There are a few things that can help make it easier such as thinking about how the fear is negatively affecting you. You can also seek professional help like a therapist or even a hypnotist can help some people.

First of all let me say congratulations on your weight loss! That's fucking awesome!

Now for the advice.

Confidence is key, I've never met a woman who wasn't attracted to confidence.

Next time try saying something along the lines of "I enjoyed chatting with you tonight, if I had your phone number we could talk again sometime"

I just about guarantee she will give it to you.
Just keep telling yourself that she wants to give you her number.

It's a simple risk vs. reward scenario.

The worst she can say is no, and then you'll never see her again.

Good luck.

Excellent advice from slowlymoving.

I was never comfortable taking that first step either. Looking back, I'm sure my lack of confidence and fear of rejection limited my experience with women greatly, and I could have had a lot more fun with women in my younger years.

I'm sure your background must make it much more challenging for you than it was for me.

The thing is, you're not asking the woman you've been talking with to marry you, have your kids and stay with you until you die. You're just asking if she might like to talk with you some more. Maybe she will, and maybe she won't. That decision will be based on all sorts of factors, and some of them you can't possibly know about after just one casual conversation with a stranger. It's entirely possible that a woman might feel she has to decline, while feeling a lot of regret about that.

It's always possible that a woman might rebuff you, but one thing is obvious: if you never ask a woman if you can talk to or meet up with her again, it's highly unlikely that will ever happen. You will have avoided being rejected and all the negative feelings that might create, but the cost of avoiding that possible pain is that you've made it impossible for something positive to ever happen.

Here's what you need to do: 100 push-ups per day, 100 squats, 100 abs. Buzz haircut. Leather jacket. Sports car. Chicken and sparragus twice a day. Lots of water. Then next time you see her, find out what movies she likes. Then say, Hey, there's this movie playing you might like, want to go watch?

It’s ok dude—You probably just haven’t met a right girl for you yet. When the right girl shows up—You know when to ask her the question to go out

Get surgery and put those guts back in.
