How can I muster up the courage to take girls on dates? I keep setting up dates, not showing up, and ghosting the girl, how can I man up?

I'm an introvert and can be socially awkward. I fear I won't talk much and it'll be super awkward.

I feel so bad. I set up a date with a girl months ago, cancelled, and she was super undersanding. I matched her again and the first thing she cutely says is I owe her a date. She was super nice to me. But I unmatched her again after setting one up. I feel like such an asshole. How can I stop being such a coward?

Honestly, the first step is out the door. The worst thing possible is you just aren't interested in each other after all but the experience from getting out of your comfort zone will definitely help you out in the future. Hell, you two could have a lot in common or just love each other's company at the end of the date but you'll never know until you make that move.
Hope this helps a bit.

Maybe try a group date or a double date with someone you already know? There would be more people to talk among and someone else to keep you accountable for actually showing up.

You need to realize that they’re expecting you to show up. She agreed to go on a date, that should excite you. How it goes after that is up to the both of you. This is not helping the dating scene. You don’t sound like an asshole other than you’re skipping out on dates, so why don’t you give it a shot.

I know, it's just that I also feel so ill prepared

You don’t need a giant bag of tricks. Show up and talk about your life and see if you both have some interesting viewpoints or parts of your life that you would like to share with another
