i see...you're placing weighted emphasis on the outcome. Yep, you just need to change your perception and justify it.
Fact is, no group of people will ever laugh at you for asking a girl out. Girls get asked out all the time and MOST girls are usually very corteous about it. ocassionally you run into bitches, but that's the gamble you take sometimes.
you need to get these irrational thoughts out of your head and look at the reality of things.
You ask a girl out, she either says yes or no. She can either be polite or corteous or be a bitch about saying no. The latter is less likely if she's already in conversation with you. If she is a bitch, then you probably wouldnt want to date her anyways. that's a risk you assume
BTW i had the same problem sort of. I never wanted to put myself in a position where i'm open to criticism or whatever it my be (obviously by being rejected, this fits in that category). I never liked putting myself in any vulnerable position, so i never asked girls out. i always talked to them but never took that extra step.
Eventually i realized that my effort was going nowhere and i accepted the fact that i have to be at least somewhat vulnerable in order to get the girl and that rejection is natural.
