Cheer up champ - there is always hope for all of us :) You just gotta learn social and flirting skills and practice them like you would practice playing basketball or piano or smth and not get discouraged when it doesn't work out straight away.

I'd suggest checking this book out (free). It gave me some pretty good tips on how to start conversations with girls (and I have pretty bad social anxiety, ain't gonna lie). It's scary for sure but I have found that if you take it as learning a new skill vs making it a life or death situation if she likes me back.. it is a bit easier.

Hope it helps and no.. you are not allowed to give up ;)
