I approached this girl who i liked at college... It went terrible... I walked up to her n asked about where she got her cool red jeans at n we talked a little bit... N well... It was a disaster... I stuttered so bad, n I paused so much n she just stood there n listened n my hands were shaking so bad.. I really butchered it... I told her she is welcome to hang out with me n my friends at this area we hang out at, she saw them there... When I walked back to my friends they were all clapping for me n whistling... They told me they were proud of me but I have never been more embarrassed in my life while talking to a girl..
