Man, If your face goes all red just practise public speaking and that will give you more confidence in the long run. But if not then I dont see the problem. I have 2 words for you.

Be Cool.

lol well the thing is im like impaired in asking girls out lmao

Find a mutual friend and ask them to find out if she has feelings for you. If your already pretty good friends with her, you've probably hung out before so just ask her to go out to dinner with you and maybe a movie afterwards and see how it goes. If you really want to make it a point to her that you want to be more than friends then just sit down and tell her that you've developed feelings for her and was wondering if she had any for you. If not then just brush it off like it's no big deal. Or if you want a line that always works for me here's what you say:

You: Hey, are you lactose intolerant?
Girl: No, why?
You: 'Cause I've got some man milk I want you to be swallowing later.

Boo yeah. Works every time.

Pick up two tickets to an event, such as a sporting event, a concert, a show, virtually any entertainment that takes place at least a week or two from the time you approach her. I like informal events because I prefer to dress casual.

Tell her the date and the activity and ask if her if she would like to join you. Tickets aren't cheap, but it's worth it to get them in advance and splurge. If she declines or gives some lame excuse which will be hard being you asked her well in advance, then she will have sent you a clear signal she is not interested.

Then, you go approach another girl until one accepts. Have a back up plan should anyone cancel at the last moment. In that case, go with a guy friend so not to waste the ticket and have some company.

A sporting event is usually a relaxed atmosphere, something very different, and you can buy and eat junk while at the game.

As to reading girls and figuring out whether they are into you. Here are a few hints they send......

1. playing with their hair while in your presence
2. long gazes into your eyes
3. nervousness or shortness of breath while speaking to you
4. a genuine interest in hearing what you have to say
5. touching you on the arm or shoulder, few are aware of this act, it is a sure sign she likes you.

Ahhh teenage angst, how droll.

I am in the same boat, here is some advice (although it is hard for me too). Just simply ask her.

pure genious, i used that pick up line on my girlfriend and it ends in sex EVERYTIME

ur probably just a COMPLETE douchebag thats igly as shit and no1 likes u, i doubt im wrong

just be yourself , sit her down and have a talk and ask her if she feels the same way , coz you never know until you try lol and after you could be glad that you asked her. go for it. things could turn out good for all you know. theres no point in trying to hide it and keeping it bottled up inside as that does you no good. trust me iv been through it plenty of times. Good luck hun xxxxxmwah

just ask her to go to the movies with you, at first not on a date, just as friends, yano.

but if she wants to go on a date then that would work out to, you could also get one of yuor friends to talk to her, and theres nothing wrong with being 5'2, i'm 5'1 :] ha,

If she is taller than you it will be hard. Take her height and multiply it by 1.1 and thats a good height to be. If shes taller just go and suicide, your life as you know it is over.
