How do I ask a woman out , like what do I even say?

[Anonymous]

(I apologise for my grammar, it's not that I'm dumb it's just English is my third language.)

I'm 29 and I've never asked a woman out, I don't know how.

I've only dated once in my life (11 years ago) and she asked me out and not the other way around

What if i make her feel uncomfortable, I also fear what if I come off as too nervous, what if I stutter because I'm nervous, what if I get laughed at, what if she cringes

I genuinely don't know how to do this and I fear I might be alone forever because I don't have the guts to ask a woman out

What if I start by befriending her and go from there and I never end up being more than a friend.

Also keep mind that I have self harm scars from the past which lowers my chances

How do I do this bro like for real.

I'm really lonely and if I don't do anything I'll never know what it's like to experience love ever again but I'm a shy person

Asking a woman out doesn’t need to be poetic or perfect — it just needs to be clear, confident, and respectful. Most guys overthink it and end up sounding either too formal or too vague.

Just dont think about it that much. Just ask it cassually like you would ask your buddy.

Your fear of loneliness causes you to stutter.

Fear of loneliness also means you'll be likely either possessive or a submissive when you enter the relationship. That'll amplify the bad look of the self harm scars. But quitting the fear of loneliness by growing your own heart, will neutralize the bad look.

If you get laughed at, it's no big deal, unless your heart is so fragile that it breaks from a mere laughter.

Your "asking out" should never be an offer as an advertisement. Your advertisement offer should be the you, yourself. If you talk to her, inquire. Never demand things like "I'm single/I'm lonely and you should fix it".
