Hello, I am a average build male, a tad overweight. I'm shy when it comes to asking a female for her number or out on a date. I always fear about coming off overwhelming or creepy. I have had previous girlfriends however it was in school only and it seemed much easier due to being in a class with them and becoming good friends but also knowing who the other person is.

Now that I'm out of school I do not know how to approach a female I find attractive to befriend her and possibly begin a relationship with.

In my mind it seems easy but in person I shake nervously. The worst they could say is no and I could move on but being shy doesn't help boost confidence.

Any tips or advice on what to work on or how to approach a female with out creeping them out is much appreciated.
