Women are surprisingly tolerant. I've only ever had enough courage to ask two women out in my life. They both said yes. Maybe if I'd asked more often, and made better choices in who I directed my romantic interest towards.
I don't think this is true. If a girl likes a guy, she will ask him out. I have had girls ask me out in the past. The ledger is evening out.Very rarely will a female initiate a date with a guy, unless she is extremely desperate?
One girl I really liked in 2009 I ended up just psyching myself into asking her out. She said no but I felt better after I did it.Are there any guys here who have been successful with women at all? If so, how did you get past your great fears and insecurities to take the risk to ask her out?

I literally had 20 seconds to psych myself into doing it because there was no other time after that, so I managed to do it...somehow. We actually became better friends after that, strangely enough.Hell yah, you gotta be like the Terminator. Shoot me down all you want, I'm still coming.
I don't know, mate. I don't think it's as rare as you're envisioning. Maybe I'm wrong.But I believe this is the rare exception to the rule, though. I know there are women out there who will, but they are a very rare and exceptional breed. I wish there were more.
I don't blame the females who won't initiate, though. Because it is not her "job" to do it. It's sort of an unspoken rule of life. In fact, nature has called males to fulfill this role, I think.
I'm still VERY fearful of it...probably more now than I was back then. It's easy to do in theory, and if she's not a basketcase she won't get offended/angry. It's just the issue of putting all your cards out on the table. It's the all-or-nothing play.Awesome. Wish I had the courage to do even that, one time. I think I'll eventually get there.. I can sort of see the idea of it becoming less and less painful in my mind, as well as the exaggerated fear.

Would the Terminator do that, though? He would shoot her in the face if she said no!
That happens here, too, but it would happen the opposite way if a girl fancied a guy.Trust me, where I am from, it's rare. Guys are very aggressive here, and ask for girls' numbers like nobody's business. Maybe in Australia it's different.
Some would argue it's one of life's great motivators.Yeah, fear is one of life's worst enemies, afaic.
So hopefully other guys here aren't put off by having to take initiative, because if you have the guts to do so, you'll quite often get what you want. I'm proof of that.
