So I asked out a cashier at the local store. Really very cute girl.
I've been planning it for weeks, even trying to ask her out a few times, but failed due to completely freaking out and only being able to say the mandatory "Hi. Receipt please. Thanks. Bye." (at least that came out pretty normal).
But this week I really did it and it wasn't so bad 
Too bad she already had a boyfriend... Ah well 
At least I overcame my shyness and went for it 
Pretty proud of myself

Nice one! 
Pity about the boyfriend, but who knows? Keep chatting to her and if they split up one day...
It's never easy, is it - except when drunk, when it's generally unsuccessful! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's true for most people, but I know someone who was specialized on that. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it a few times.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

In the past - when I drank - I was indeed successful several times (probably due to the sheer volume of attempts).
However in nearly all the cases, the following morning I wished I hadn't been...

You have to kiss a lot of frogs, before...

I don't know about kissing them, but I've woken up next to a few...

Licking toads is much more harmful.

good on you
it was once (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away), explained to me that you had to get the 'hits' up to improve the hit:miss ratio, no hits == no misses ...
I'm not going to say what it stands at, lets say my twin brother got the gift with women, and I, er .....

Hi, that's great you made the attempt !
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

So you're officially a PUA now. That's awesome!

I had to google PUA
|

I once read about PUA in the past years. It's funny, but sometimes it works

Well done!
The worst it can happen is what happened so, from now on you have no excuses... this is like all the other things in life... more practice gives better results...
Drinking is not a safe option... you know what is said: "that girl is n beers ugly" so it is better to be sober when trying it... the worst part of it is that if you make a BIG mistake then you won't have excuses...
That said, ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) and all of us feel so proud of you now...

As crass/male chauvinist as this sounds, the more you practice, the easier it gets. So practice. Not every girl needs to be a potential girlfriend or "really very cute", it's fun just to hang out with people of the opposite sex. The less hormones charge to asking someone out for a lunch date, concert, movie, whatever, the easier it gets for well, those "charged" moments.

Because you're afraid of asking a big question, and the possible outcome - start with smalltalk. Makes it a lot easier 
Bastard Programmer from Hell 
If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

Why do you think I never made smalltalk? 
There's really just one kind of smalltalk[^] I see myself becoming proficient in
