"I'm too scared to ask her out"

Of course you are. Because she's gorgeous and funny and smart, and looking at her makes you feel all nervous inside. 

But you know what? Asking a woman out gets easier when you remember that she is just a human being. She has wants and needs and flaws, like you. She's neither a fairy or a siren, but a human person—like you. 

You're also a person, and not the ugliest or most terrible one alive like you tell yourself to get out of confessing your feelings. You're imperfect, as is everyone else, but you're equally worthy of love and you have a lot of good qualities to bring to a relationship.

And if you take the leap of faith only for her to say no? Well, she's allowed to do that. She has the right to say no to you, or anyone. Maybe she isn't ready for a relationship, or maybe she just doesn't like you that way. It hurts, but it doesn't say anything about your value as a romantic partner. 🤷🏻

Rejection is a normal part of life; Don't let it stop you from living.
