Today, I finally got the courage to approach a girl. I've never done anything like this before. She stared me down, not saying a word, until I felt so little that I just walked away. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I finally gathered up the guts to say hi to the girl I like. As I was walking down the hallway, I saw her and waved hello, only to walk into a bathroom door. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask out a girl I've had a crush on for months now. She told me I was very cute and then walked off. I still don't have an answer. FML
Today, I decided to talk to a girl at the gym I had seen there a lot. I walked up to her at the station she was at and asked her out to dinner sometime. I didn't realize she had been wearing headphones. She took them off and asked if I was waiting on the station. My courage left. I said yes. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to write a girl a note, with my number on it, and the words: "You're stunning. Get in touch sometime." Heart pounding, I saw her, got up, and passed her the note. Then I passed out at her feet. FML
Today, I finally worked up the nerve to talk to the girl I like. After awkwardly saying hi, I manage to work up a nice conversation with her. I thought everything was going well, until I got home and realized that she had stolen money out of my wallet. FML
Today, it was my first time at the club. I saw a really cute girl. I finally worked up the courage to ask her to dance. Before I even got within five feet of her, she looked me in the eyes and vehemently shook her head. I did a 180. My friends saw everything. They are still laughing. FML
Today, I approached the girl I like, hoping to ask her out. Just as I strode up to her, she excused herself as quickly as she could. I then realized I'd forgotten to zip up my pants after going to the bathroom minutes before. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the courage to send a message to the girl I've been crushing on for years. I'm now blocked. FML
Today, I built up the courage to approach my gym crush. I walked over, smiled, and said, "You smell amazing." I meant to say he looked amazing. He faintly smiled, then slowly went back to the rowing machines without saying a word. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to ask out the girl I like. After nervously fumbling through my words, I asked, "Want to grab a cup of water sometime?" She looked at me confused, then asked if I meant coffee. FML

Why would you expect her to say something? You walked up to her.

I don't think any of you understand what staring down means. She wasn't looking at him with her head cocked to the side, big round eyes peering innocently out from behind golden curls. If she was staring him down, she knew why he was there, and she wanted him to know how deeply she despised him for trying. I feel for you, OP.

Yeah, this is pretty depressing. Bastard. Seriously though, chin up. Get a shitty old car and restore it so you've got something to take your mind off bitches when they're bitches. That's what I did.

Look, if you are just going to go up to a girl, you need to have a pick-up line on the tip of your tongue before you get to her. You really don't want a corny one like "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" So, I am going to give you one that really works. Despite it's simplicity and innocence, it really is quite effective. Being as nervous and tongue-tied as you seem to be, you may have to rehearse this one hundreds of times in the mirror before you put it to use. Maybe write it on the back of your hand to make sure. Got a pen and paper? Ready? Here it is: Hi. Does that make sense? Can you handle that? Now go out there and make the male gender proud of you. Save pimpin88's manifesto for later. That could come in handy if you want to get really good, but at first, you should he able to say "hi" to a girl without peeing your pants.

37 is an absolute idiot i dont think hes talked to a girl ever. that was one of the dumbest things iv ever read... dont listen to what hes saying otherwise every guy would be going to the gym to work out to talk to girls whiiiich does not happen. literally the only thing he got right was that u get better at it over time. if ur not up to the whole straight forward approach just take ur time and be friends with one of her friends that u have confidence around and eventually u and the girl u like would be seeing more of eachother and then bam. dont overthink it either cos nothing ever turns out the way u planned cos u cant predict how she reacts and the exact stuff shes going to say

Dude... Nice..? Actually a good method, but not really necessary, unless the OP really, really needs this. Remember this could be coming from a 12 year old boy, not a grown man.

One thing I'd add about #11 is that when you are new at this, choose moderately good-looking women to practice on. Really hot girls are not going to want to deal with a noob (and you don't get a redo if you improve your style over the next few weeks) and ugly girls are going to think you are making fun of them or they will begin to stalk you. The other cool thing about getting comfortable to speaking around moderately good-looking women is that the hot ones start to notice you and then you have a better chance with them.

And now you've learned your lesson — never do this again.

Failure is not an option, but lifelong celibacy is. Look into it.

My statement wasn't general; it was specifically addressed to the OP. Given his lack of social skills, I think it's fair to say that he does not deserve to have his putrid genes continued; thus, I think he should never do this again and learn that for the sake of humanity that he'd be better off not spreading that idiotic fear of his.

I was going to write that I was agreeing with you, but I felt it was obvious and that it would have spoiled my few chances at brevity. I also was trying to say that the OP ought to consider lifelong celibacy because failure with women IS a viable option for him. Sorry if I appeared to be aiming my barb at you. That was not my intention.
